$95 and they said best they could give me possibly was $110 fuckers

edit* although with the $65 plan you have far more leverage than i did

What is a HUP? Is that what explains why people pay $1300 extra for a phone if they don't have to?

HUP = Hardware upgrade

$1300 = pay phone outright

Hardware Upgrade Program

hmmmmmm, looks to me that a shared plan is the way to go with my wife to save more money. 3yrs ago we werent married and i pay 70 and she pays 80.

HUP = pay $80-90 a month instead of $35, and get the phone for "$300" then?

I agree with dangonay then. Not Apple's fault, people are just :fulloffuck:

Thing is, I use my phone everywhere and we go to the cabin, island, etc quite a bit

Since I was already back up at 95 it wasn't a big deal to do the shared plan paying 90

If I never went anywhere id switch to wind and buy the phone outright but even with my telus work phone sometimes it's reception isn't good enough. Rogers for me for now

68+88=156
95+55=150

sorry but for you to save 6$ per month for a much less plan is not worth it to me. even say you don't go through that much data, to save 6$ is not worth it.

if you are not all about the latest and greatest, your plans hold much more leverage in the future. you will never get your 68$/mo back ever again if you give this up.

i say this over and over again, unless you are getting a stellar plan for this HUP, just save up and buy the phone out right. you save a lot more money on the long run with your cheaper plan.

$156 tax in vs $150 plus tax. no real savings there lol.

still have to look at data usage over the last 6 months to see if its worth it. as we are giving up 4 gb combined

It turned into a Which Cellphone Carrier rip off deeper thread.

On a Main note, IOS 8 arrive to download tomorrow at 10am

ya thats kinda what i was thinking too.

6gb for $30 was previously offered. People are still trying to grandfather it. You would be a fool not pay take this deal.

Im going to get on my soapbox and ask you why is Data even restricted? What's with all 3 carries and their confusion about 500mb 1gb 3gb..etc plans.

I believe unrestricted unlimited high speed data should be a right for every Canadian citizen. At the very least OFFER an option for unlimited like they do in the states.

Unlimited calling, unlimited text, international calling etc use to cost a lot. Now its practically free. These telecom companies are throttling their services to you. Their delaying the inevitable.
Pack up and switch right? To who? A smaller company whos reception can be shotty at times.
Effing monopoly I tell u.

I hope it's not like ios 8 GM. I'm on it right now and it's bugggggggy

Here's a little review from the verge on the iphone6 you guys will be surprised with the battery life!

Has anyone gotten Rogers to waive the HUP fee? Somehow I don't think its possible anymore.

Not sure if it's the same.. but I got Fido to waive my HUP fee.

my last 3 phones i've had it waived, from $100 to $220

It sounded that now, even through retentions the best you can do if you have over 6 months remaining on your contract is give you 100% value up to $100 of your monthly bill

I agree with him. I had wish one of these phone companies would utilize the larger screens rather than JUST make them bigger.

I can't wait for the first compny to really make good use of split screen apps.

iPad mini doesn't have phone capabilities? :suspicious:

Also "the camera is so good, I'll never use a point and shoot ever again"... Reviewers have been saying that since the first iphone or whatever :lawl:

It may actually be true this time!

The thing I'm most excited for if true is the battery life! Better battery use in an iPhone I hate to say it is a big step and a huge plus in the right direction. My old iphone5 was terrible and my current nexus 5 I get about a days worth! And with him saying he gets a day and a half with heavy use that's pretty awesome ...

Will Apple store have stock for people lining up on Friday?

I'm hoping so if I can't get my hands on one from my carrier

There will always be some good and some bad, all depends how you store and charge your phone in addition, if it's defective. I would say it's okay to go through one day with normal to heavy usage, since it'll be charge overnight. If I go anywhere without a power outlet, like camping, I would bring two of my extra batteries with me, one being one of those huge one from ebay.

I've had the S2, S3, S4 (twice) and now HTC One (being the worst one), none with severe battery problems. As long as you know how to keep your phone free from apps that run background ads, your phone should be good.

My friend has an S5 and he's always downloading shit like ebaum, utorrent, liveleak, those stupid battery saving apps, shit that he doesn't use. I've tried diagnosing his phone and can't even rule out what the number draining issue was tied to which app. So sad that a nice phone is being treated like that.

yes they will
