[Other] [Merged] Telus Retention Plan..

[Jimboski]

They kept telling me that they can't do anything and can't do better than that. Above and beyond they kept saying.

That's what they all say! That's why It takes patience.

Okay so I had to give in to a plan right now since my previous phone died. Here it is:

- 300 daytime minutes
- unlimited incoming calls
- unlimited text messaging
- free call display
- free voice mail
- free after 6pm and weekends
- 1 GB data

$55 plus tax. Basically it's just $5 off and extra 500 MB of data compared to what I was offered at start.

Anyway, I also have the choice of lowering that plan to $50 plus tax, but I'll lose unlimited incoming and 100 less minutes, but get my 10-fave numbers instead.

Unless you have 10 buddies you talk to a LOT just stick with the bonus 100 minutes and unlimited incoming..

Yeah that's what I figured. Good thing I only have a BlackBerry so I won't need much data.

I've been a long-time Telus customer in Ontario. I just renewed with Voice 25 plan (includes 300 minutes, unlimited evenings and weekends, unlimited messaging, call waiting, voice mail 3) for $25. I was also offer 1 GB of data for $20 as a promotion that is not part of my contract. I'm happy.

My Voice 25 contract is coming due soon too. Do they not include CID free anymore? That's the only bonus I have added.

It's $7 now according to the posts above yours!

Contract expiring within the next 6 months, not sure if I should keep it or try to negotiate something better?

EPP 17.40

$17.40/month + $6.95 SAF
250 Anytime Mins
6PM Evenings/Weekends
CID, VM3

It's a good plan for me, sometimes wish I had texting........comes to about $28 after tax. Should I try to negotiate something better or does it not get much better? I might have to find a new carrier (sad because I always liked Telus customer service).

Wait a few more months. I'm sure they can add texting on that without extra charge. Probably not unlimited, but still.

Me neither. If true, then I'm going to be upset.
