Anyone having luck with retentions lately?
I'm currently at $65 a month and they're not budging 
200 min+100 bonus min
favorite 10
unlimited msg
free after 6pm+weekends
6 gb data
free caller id
I told them I wanted the sask55 plan, which I had several people deny of it.. and then I told them I wanted to pay below 60 around $55, and then they gave me a piss poor plan with 500mb.. or 1gb for $65 WTF?
I KNOW some people are getting the sask55/student50....  I will resign a contract ASAP if I get it for the Galaxy S3.... screw the Iphone..
Any hints, tips?
TIA

Unlimited local calling
Unlimited messaging
Speech to text Voicemail

He's pretty happy as he'll never go over his minutes and pay glove fees ever again!

How do you "ask for more" after what's been offered to you?
I spoke to retentions today and they told me they'll give me an expired promo plan:
200 mins, 6 gb data, 10 favourite #, unlimited text/mms, early evenings/weekends, caller id+vm, for $65 + tax.
Very standard. I know they have better ones...do I say "try harder?" "xxx has this so and so plan?"

I need to go into an actual Telus store and talk to someone in person, seems like every time I go into a store - the person working is just a tool and doesn't know how to help me. I went to the one at Metro and all the guy did was tell me to call customer support, dialed the number for me and handed me the phone. Does anyone have a particular contact I can go talk to? Like someone you go to all the time for all your Telus needs? I live in Vancouver near the PNE. TIA | |

Store are only there to sign up customers and sell phones. Once you're a customer the stores are useless to you. I've got a telus retention plan and it was the simplist negotiation I've ever had to do. I've been a telus customer for 9 years and a Rogers customer for 6 so I know a thing or two about retention rate plans.

I've been on my current plan for over a year, and I had to purchase the 8$ Caller ID add-on, as my original plan did not have it. Does anyone know if I'd be able to word my way into getting it for free as it's now on all Plans?
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to getting a new/updated plan.

I think I was on the phone for maybe 10 minutes. Every time I've dealt with telus they usually give me what I want for the price I'm willing to pay. I hope Rogers will be like this also as I will be calling them next month to renew my Rogers account next. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to getting a new/updated plan. | They would probably get you to get one of the newer plans and ditch your old one. But still, call into loyalty and see what you can get | |

Call loyalty? Is it a separate number? Or an extension?

Quick question about calling retentions, and just generally looking for advice on this:
I'm currently in a 3yr contract which ends in May 2014. It's 55+tax for:
200 Local Mins
Unlimited Text/Pic/Video Messages
My 10 Favourite Numbers
Call Waiting, Forwarding
1GB Data
Voicemail 3
(+8$/month for Caller ID)
63+tax/month total
My situation is, I'd like to upgrade my phone to the HTC One, as well as get a new contract through retentions or something, as I think I'm paying too much for what I'm actually using. However, I don't want to sign up for one of their new 2yr contracts as they're way too expensive, but paying 650$ to buy the phone outright is also a bit much...
What would be the best way of going about this, phone retentions and basically say I want to cancel before my contract ends, and start negotiating stuff?

Minimum commitment per month is $70 so you'll have to buy the phone outright. You could certainly try negotiating but I don't think you'll get very far - it'll probably still end up being more than $60 if they do lower the rate.
As for me, I'm planning to switch to WIND.

Call ID
3gb included
Unlimited text and picture msg
Unlimited video call for iPhone?
$55
1000 Minutes
Unlimited text and picture msg
Call Id
1gb
Would have to pay 50% of the rest of the subsidized cost of iPhone 32gb.

has anyone successfully managed to get a new phone recently 2 years into a 3 or 4 year contract? My friend got his phone wet at wreck yesterday and thinks he can't call telus to possibly get a new one and since I'm with rogers I wanted to see if anyone's had luck
