^Getting cocky. Wait...was cocky....nope still cocky. Still think they are the best after many providers can actually prove their network is now as good as Rogers after upgrading systems.

You can upgrade anytime but you just have to pay. Normal HUP policy states you need to be within the last 6 months of your existing contract to get an early upgrade. Anything outside of that time frame you will need to pay x amount per month that you are outside of the 6 month period. I don't remember the amount though.

I'm thinking about leaving as well because I've requested for an upgrade to S3 in the last month and a half.
Went to the stores and they intentionally brush me off because selling plans were their main priority on getting rid of the 16gb.
Tried over the phone and haven't heard from them yet. The guy said I should receive an email from UPS with the tracking number. Haven't got anything.
Giving this til my next bill shows up and see if they charge me for upgrade, if not I'm heading to bell.
So much easier to sign a 3 year contract with bell in hopes of them matching the 6gb super plan and get a S3 for contract price.

Weird. I had no problems getting the super plan as well as the S3 on a 3 year contract price. Have also been with them a longass time. Good old cantel days. Rogers usually ship phones really fast when they have them in stock.

It is funny once I told rogers retention that because they wont give me any good deal , I have plan to cancel in 4 month after my contract is up, I am starting to get a couple calls every 2 weeks from some Rogers partner trying to see if they can offer me a new phone and resign.
These people clearly arent retention department and they cant get any better discount either. I dont know why They even bother. ITs like rogers just send my file to their sales department and let all these mobile dealers work their sale magic on me.
Waste my time

I've accumulated a few hundred dollars in BB Gift Cards so might just buy a phone straight up in a little while, sell my curent phone and then leave Rogers at the end of my Term and get yet another new phone.

It has a tighter control on giving out credits, I have 3 month left on mine, and been calling once a month to check my options. Everytime, they just offer me some crap plan very similar to Rogers in-store plan except for some stupid add-on which i never use anyway.
I am keeping my door open until then, screw rogers.

lol rogers. bell is already selling s3 for $99.95.
still waiting for mine in the mail after 2 weeks now, highly doubt they've sent it out or charged my bill on that matter.
i wanna switch but i don't wanna lose my plan. went to bell store and they said they can't match the 6gb super plan.
anyone know a way around to getting the s3 and keeping the super plan?

Has anyone heard of some ultimate couples plan...? basically unlimited R2R/Evening-weekends, texting, vm, CID, 500 min and 6GB data for something like $70 total...?
Someone told my gf about it and we were looking at getting it but I can't find ANY documentation of it anywhere. The only thing I could find was from the rogers site, with 2GB but for $140..

JKam - I have not heard of any couples plans that even come close to being $70 with all that. Rogers constantly sends me couples plans but I laugh because it's more than what my gf and I pay if we combined our bills and we actually get less. What a fucking joke.

Le gf wants to get data but whether its 500mb or 6gb its going to cost her an extra $30  If only we could share 6gb without paying much more than we already pay.

Hmm. I had no problems getting a $10 credit on the superplan when I talked to retentions. It was a smooth call as always.

i just called in to upgrade to s3 and asked customer relation to match bell's $99.95, and so he did, but claims that the s3 is out of stock. gonna give til next friday before i switch to bell. Quote: |

have you guys heard of / used Cell Phone Plans | myCELLmyTERMS.com | Create a Plan Today & Save! to get better rates from carriers? I used it to negotiate with Rogers when getting my gf a retentions plan.

I've checked with my friend who's a regional manager for Wireless Wave and sure, some stores will try to "scam" it and get the plan for you but once Bell does an audit your screwed anyways if you don't have a tax number and are a legit business.
