is this a good iPhone Plan (Bell)?

Bell's "upgrade credit" has always been total BS.

If they are asking you to pay $799 - $300 - $200 = $299 for the iPhone, that is BS. The standard price for 3GS is $199 on a 3 year contract, and they shouldn't charge you more than this.

The plans are okay I guess, but not excellent.
This is a type of decent Bell plan:

If you don't use long distance often, Fido has a $80 plan for unlimited local / txt / call display / vm + 6GB data.

Also if you can wait for 3 months till the new iPhone comes out, the price for 3GS will drop.

unlimited local calling? Can that be had anywhere? thx

** that plan looks decent.... seems to cover all you need and works out to about 80$ a month?

How does that "decent" Bell plan compares to OP's? :S he's only paying around 80$/mo each person with his plan. It's not bad at all. That Fido plan isn't better either...

To the OP: yes it's a good plan..I would take it

I have a better plan with rogers and I pay less... so to me, it is decent.

How do you get that Fido plan? don't see it on the site

I don't think that a good iPhone plan exists in Canada.

...what do you think, good deal?

What does it matter what some random Joe thinks? How does this plan suit YOUR NEEDS? Ultimately, you're going to get some kid who's friends work at Rogers and who game him/her everything free plus a $10 credit, and then brag to you about it and say 'that's not a good plan., I got a better one-and regurgitate it for you'. Are there better plans., sure there's always going to be a better one. Ultimately, does the plan save you money on what you pay now, Use that as a baseline., THEN attach retentions for moar discounts.

If you START expecting to get the absolutely best deal...it might be a difficult and long-drawn-out experience...unless you're just one of the lucky ones and gets an 'everything and the kitchen sink' type representative on the other line and hit the jackpot. Your only hope at that point is that this rep isn't quitting in a week and end up having all their last plan changes audited once they figure out this person gave out too many $50 credits to the same 20 accounts over the last 5months hehe.
