$69.83 after tax

my contract ends @ 08-Jun-2013(since 2010 Jun)

:badpokerface:

I wonder how much penalty will it be if I switch now?
The only phone I'm interested to get is Galaxy Nexus(not available from Rogers yet)

My voice usage go from 800mins to 2000mins a month(so far doesn't need to pay extra for mins), but need to pay for Data, LD, Roaming and Picture & Video Msgs. (10/12 months a year) & the plan isn't cheap to begin with.

Thank you

Operating under the assumption that your data contract ends June 2013 as well...

You're looking at $20/mo to a max of $400 and $10/mo to a max of $100 for an early cancellation with Rogers.

$20 x 18 = 360
$10 x 10 = 100
= $460 + taxes (yes, they tax the ECF)
+ prorated charges for your last month when you port out.

Your final bill will easily be ~$550 or more, depending on where in your billing cycle you port out.

As far as plans, yes, it is easy to find better plans through Wind, Mobilicity, or even Virgin and Koodo.

Wind has the $40 Holiday Miracle Plan, Mobilicity the $25 Back to School plan, Virgin and Koodo the $35 City plans, etc. etc.

As far as saving you significant amounts of money... Wind or Mobilicity, based on the amount of voice minutes you use (though it could depend on what time of day you use most of your minutes).

Thx Alatar

So up front I have to pay around $600 to Rogers.

If I go for that $40+tax plan from wind, each month I'll be paying $44.8. The amount I can save during this period of time : ($70-$45)X18 = $450+ & a newer phone(from Sony X10 to Nexus S, $0 on WINDtab+ )

I'm okay with my X10, so most likely I'll be happy with the Nexus S.

Any hidden fee or catch I should be aware from Wind?

From what I've read, Wind and Mobi don't have any extra charges and will be your plan + HST.

No stupid 911/GRRF/SAF.

Thx CRS

if I go for that $29+tax plan, I save around $666+& a new phone
:denied::seriously::awwyeah: :fullofwin:

tethering is an extra $10/month from Wind. Mobilicity is included.

even with Nexus S.? :ahwow:

don't matter what phone, they can detect tethering.:okay:

^ fuuuuuuu

no wind can't detect tethering.

No, they can't.

From what I've gathered:

No tethering add-on --> 5GB of data before possibly getting throttled
With tethering add-on --> 10GB of data before possibly getting throttled

It doesn't matter if it's used on your phone or tethered to another device, the add-on only changes the data usage soft-cap.

how you guys know they cant?

i tether all the time on the holiday plan never had any issues

i just browse the net though

Because people without the tethering add-on always state that they can tether.
The only thing wind will do is enforce their "5 gig soft cap" if you don't have the tethering option added.
It becomes a "10 gig soft cap" once you have the tethering option added.

rogers will now offer all plans on monthly terms

so either way, you can still tether, just have that cap...


except they will charge more for non contract.. lol.. or offer crappy pre-paid ones?

someone from Toronto took my plan through craigslist :awwyeah:
actually a few guys from Toronto wants my plan

I can't keep my number but it's fine, I don't have to pay any $ to Roger. :fuckyea:

Got a Nexus S & the WIND Mobile $40/month all in “Holiday Miracle” plan :fullofwin::sweetjesus::megusta:
