What happened to the days of yearly hardware upgrades so long as your contract was renewed every time you did it? We're the carriers just being super generous back then or what

meh i'm glad i switched my rogers plan to the bc health corporate plan under my dad for 50bux.. it's 7.50 more than what i used to pay but at least i don't have to worry about discount shit wearing off.. so how does renewal work with the new 2yr structure now?? are they going to say oh in order to renew and get a new phone.. you must be on the new "2yrs" plan and the old grandfathered plan are no longer eligible??

Surely you didn't think the providers wouldn't find some other way to make up the shortfall?"

It seems better to just sign up for a plan now rather than wait. I'm hoping that when my contract runs out, I can just buy a phone and go month to month with my current plan because that pricing is shit.
I'm also not an advocate of openmedia (I think they're way too leftist)...but I was hoping that robelus would try to offer better plans to keep customers from going to verizon if that deal goes through, obviously not though. I don't get how they can essentially double the 6gb plan that I have right now...but offer the exact same service.
It looks like the route of just buying phones outright is the way to go right now.

If people do sign up before that happens, I think they are misinformed by others or just plain stupid...

If that means stirring some people up with a bunch of hyperbole and "us against them" sentiment and damn the consequences, then so be it.

the thing is.. they dont force you to sign a contract.. they have pay as your go plans... but if you want something for free, then you have to give up something...

I don't know about other carries, but with Telus, the contract has only (functionally) ever been for the hardware itself; the voice/data plans don't "expire" with the contract requiring a new/different plan. I've had my same plan (more or less) for three phones now. Basically the "contract" is just saying, in return for getting this phone cheap, you're gonna stick with us for the next "X" years.

I'm with Telus and i'm halfway through my 3year contract, was thinking of renewing early for an S4, but not if i have to switch to their shitty plans.
my plan with 1GB data is $50 now, would cost $85 with the new ones. 
after my 2 years are up, i would really consider switching to a different provider

You shouldn't have to change your plan when you renew and get a new phone... isn't that what I just said? I even got to keep my same airtime plan when I switched from CDMA to a GSM phone (although they had to change the data plan because my old "unlimited for $15/mo" package wouldn't transfer to the newer system... but at least they gave me 6GB for $30)

If you don't want hardware subsidy then you can keep your plan on month to month.

Nowhere can I find something that says they banned 3 year contracts altogether. That looks like something the carriers did to screw the consumer again.

i just made a switch from wind to fido since i need a more stable cell reception for a new career and i just picked their unlimited everything 2gb plan for $60.. since i had my own unlock phone, im not on contract
when i was with wind and being a note 2 user, i rarely go over 2gb per billing unless i watch alot of youtube vids and with the optional incrimental $10/gb if i go over, thats $70 for a 3gb its still cheaper than what the new 2 year contract is offering..
i really wish i picked that 6gb plan from last summer
