Are corporate cellphone plans good anymore?

I have an old loyalty corporate cellphone plan with Rogers, which will cost a lot if I make any changes. Are corporate cellphone plans good anymore? I can get a much cheaper plan and with lot more data from Zoomer and Public Mobile. What is your opinion?

Hard to say if corp plan still hold value nowadays.
Only you can answer that question base on your need & calculation vs in market plan.
Others get allowance from their respective job to offset the cost.
At the end of the day it's best to do your homework & see if there's still value to you or better off going with in market plans.

For me personally no. That's why I had to cancel my Rogers corporate account. It wasn't even just about the plan but the lack of appreciation for being a customer.

Going with the little guys, Fido and Koodo.

For me it is still viable. No hardware, but a corporate share everything works better for me than individual plans

In BC, the corporate plans suck shit.
Sask, QC have much better corporate plans due to competition.

Sticking with my old Corp plan. Happy!

Does that include a phone subsidy? Cuz if not, that wouldn’t be good for Quebec.

Bell used to have some of the best corporate plans around. Even the reps in the stores would "find" you a corporate plan that suited you. Some people have even successfully argued and kept their Bell unlimited data plan.

THe corp plans on offer when I worked for Trillium last year were pretty god awful. Certainly not good enough to get me to switch from my PM $40/4GB plan, or my Koodo $40/6GB plan when I switched over to that.

If BYOD corporate plans start at $85 for 1 GB of data, I don't even know what is the whole point of a corporate plan? And that is for the primary line. I don't even know how these corporate reps make sales.

IBM corporate plan with Bell is $50 for 10GBs, pretty good I think.
