Have a phone. current contract expired. need new plan
Hello. My 3-year plan with Rogers just expired. So now I own my Samsung S3. I want a cheaper plan because I don't use my phone all that much. I'm currently paying about $68 and I don't even get very many daytime minutes or much data (I think I'm only getting 200 day time minutes and 200mb of data... but I never go over).
I'm thinking about switching to a Rogers pay as you go plan... Talk, Text and Internet 20... for $20.75 per month. It gives me unlimited texting, 100 mb per month (15 cents per mb over), and 25 cents per minute for calling.
I think I can make this work because I spend most of my time at home, and I have unlimited Rogers internet... so I can make all my calls through my internet. When I do go out, I mostly text. I can keep my phone calls when I'm out to a minimum. I like being able to use the internet when I'm out... and 100mb isn't much... but it'll do. I would use more if I had more data, but this should be good enough. I mainly use the internet if I need directions somewhere or want to check sports scores, or just read a news article or whatever. So I do need some sort of internet plan because it comes in really handy for me on occasion when I really need it.
I'm not poor, but I'm trying to get my monthly bills down as much as possible. So if I could pay $20 - $25 per month vs. the almost $70 i'm paying now, that will add up over the course of the year. If there was a plan for $40ish a month with lots of data and minutes, I might just go for something like that... but I heard that the coverage on Wind sucks... and if you want the good plans with Rogers... those are like $80+ per month which probably isn't really worth it for me since I'm at home so much (I work from home).
Also, I live in Mississauga, and I go to downtown Toronto maybe 3 or 4 times per month.
So is this Rogers pay as you go plan the best option for me? Can I get a better price from rogers if I threaten to quit their wireless altogether? I have my TV and Internet through rogers, but I think my wireless is all separate... so is there a bundle option? Whenever I ask to bundle, they only seem to bundle with a home phone (which I don't need). Thanks in advance for any advice!
