They won't let you upgrade?

They will but I need to bump my price plan up by $20 for less gb. Yeah that makes sense lol. In reality buying the phone outright vs. Paying more into the plan over 2 years is about the same. But fuck giving Rogers more money.


I think a co-worker did the calculations of buying a phone vs signing on for 2 years (to get the phone at a discounted price), it was cheaper to purchase a phone and get a cheaper month/month contract from one of the discount providers.

My old plan was annually as well but I was no longer an employee so I couldn't get more hw upgrades. ( I knew someone in Bell who hooked me up with a plan from a hospital) My current plan is with my GF's work (one of the big 4 Accounting firms).

I carry a work phone as well. Don't pay anything for that but I don't use it aside from when I am out for work. In theory, I could just use that as no one calls me but I don't have a home phone so I need some sort of consistant number.

you're comparing a corporate plan to a retail plan...

why don't you tell me how much more you pay for a commercial mortgage vs a residential mortgage....

Our corp plans with Bell are $10/month cheaper if you BYOD versus a two-year term. There's big incentive to take the contract.

But I'll stick with my grandfathered plan ($52 with 6gb and a bunch of travel/roaming discounts) and buy a new phone when I need one.

That's still a $240 saving VS $500 off the phone.

Why do you need 6Gb bandwidth from your phone?
You should pay more and get 1Gb because 6Gb is clearly too much for everyone.
Explain why. /Risky

How do I get a better plan?

My retentions plan didn't get renewed so I'm stuck with the share plan paying retail $100 for 5 gigs. Retentions doesn't give a shit when I try to cancel. I cancelled my TV&Internet because they didn't offer the gigabit/TV for $100 so I have 2 weeks to switch to something.

Vas - how is Bell in Markham? Rogers is crap, 1 bar at home and 1 bar at the inlaws.

Glad I stumbled across the cbc article. I did some research on how people were able to get the manitoba plan and I decided why not try it for my son's phone. It took a bit of a time to do it, but I was successful and now he has the $48 5gb, canada wide plan w/ koodo. I'd love to try to do it for myself, but to give up on the 6gb of data would be very hard to do at 60ish change a month.
