I'm still using my SGS2 and may never go on an LTE plan since a $20 plan with unlimited browsing/wifi tethering on smartphones is impossible to come by in this day.

If you're upgrading from your Touch the only real issue you have to worry about is losing the UMB because of some idiot rep messing something up when you renew your contract or add/remove features from your plan. Happened to my friend once but luckily they were able to reinstate it (might be because the corporate plan normally includes UMB).
bringing this thread back from the dead because I got a note 2 today and was wondering why I am not getting LTE.
This explains it.

The easiest way to cancel your data would be through the bell website.
Log into your bell account and click add/remove plan features and just remove your data. They charge a flat $200 cancellation fee.
I renewed again this week for 3 years, got a note 2 for $199 then cancelled my data ( $250)
So basically I paid $450 for a brand new note 2, cheaper than buying it straight up

As for as I know UMB isnt offered anymore, the only people that still have it are people who signed up years and years ago and got grandfathered it like me and T.T

bumping a dead as hell thread.

I think all you guys (myself included) got it from the RFD thread from that guy in Alberta (sent it to me)

I'm still paying the $50/month.

If i'm reading this right, sign onto bell's website and take off the data plan.
I'd be paying $20 + tax/month and still getting umb?

I'm checking my APN and it's still pda.bell.ca

y/n? what do?

let me know when you do this.

my 3yr contract expires in sept and i'm planning on removing my 6gb data then.

not going to bother renewing since most the freebies on the embridge plan are built-in and not term related, meaning you don't have to renew to keep them (other than to get a discount on the phone)

My contract ended a week ago and I tried renewing in a bell store but no luck because they asked for proof of employment. So I just went home and did it through the bell website. Quick and painless. Renewed it on a Wednesday evening received my SGS4 on Friday. No data subsidy because the plan is only $20 so I ended up paying $450 after tax for the phone.
So those of you planning on renewing I would suggest doing it through the bell website.

T.T. thats pretty good. I was just checking online myself they were offering me a voice only commitment credit of $270 which is not bad at all. But did they waive the $35 HUP fee for you? Also, have you noticed any additional charges or changes to your plan since getting the new phone?
