1.5 years ago my plan was $67 taxes in for:
6GB
1000 weekday minutes
evenings and weekends at 6
caller ID
Voice mail
Unlimited texts, video, picture

Today to my surprise the rep tells me that i'm now paying $96 taxes in since all my credits had expired slowly over the last year and a half

my remaining hardware balance on my 5 is $159, finally get to retentions and tell him look, basically i'm calling to have my balance waived, i know how this works, my last 3 phones have had their balanace waived early bla bla bla

he looks into it and tells me that if i switch to another plan of the "flex tab" they can knock 100% of the value of the monthly contract off the remaining balance. He then tells me as well that my current plan, the one listed above is no longer eligible for a hardware upgrade as they NEED to be on the flex plans.

The cheapest of which, is $82 and has 2 GB of data.. uhh..ok.. definately not gonna work

Both CSR's basically told me that this plan is not available to everyone and it was made for longer term retention plans, which i find hard to beleive but whatever..

For $110 a month:

8GB data
Unlimited Canada wide:
Calling, Texting, Video, Voice, Picture messaging
Caller ID
Voice Mail

so this is not considered a "shared" plan even though it was originally pitched to me like that, i could basically roll with this plan for $110 on my own for the two year term, however my GF wants to leave Telus so you can add the second phone on this plan for $55 a month

total, taxes in it comes to $183 a month + 911 fee's etc.

essentially $90 per person.

the second contract is essentially a new user, therefore they get any device at the regular price but have to pay for the upgrade cost outright in person as opposed to going on the bill for that cycle.

fucking stupid how it's devolved like this. In some ways sure, i'm getting the "best of the bunch" in terms of the plan, but i'm also paying almost $30 more than i did two years ago just so i can get the HUP..

Solution is to buy a phone that does pretty much the same thing, and go to wind for $35 a month with no contract.

You're not being raped if you're willing... just dry fucked by apple and rogers
