nothing really beats the fido and virgin plans of 39$/50$...if your plans are expiring why not make the switch? Similar/decent service + LTE speeds too vs the even cheaper wind mobile

I really don't like that I have to pay the same price as everyone else on the hardware upgrade, but they couldn't give any discounts or match Best Buy's 99$ price on the S4. I might be better off waiting a few weeks and see if a promo price comes up on the phone.
I looked at their policy and it doesn't price match best buy but here is Walmart who they do price match with.

Btw you might notice from that sign and rogers website they raised the price of the s4 to $230

wrdeal24 wrote: Yeah, they don't allow 3 year contracts without a phone as a rule, since let's say somebody was under contract with a phone and then renewed a few months later for another 3 years then that person's cancellation is just the admin fee despite having gotten a 3 year contract phone just a few months ago. So they want to avoid any chance of getting into that situation with a general rule.

As for the corporate plan, about 1-2 years ago, Rogers tried to make people pay for LTE enabled plans that were more expensive than the non LTE alternatives, when no other provider followed through they dropped it on their new plans though older plans and corporate plans might not be provisioned for LTE access so I guess that's one the cases. On consumer plans you can usually get them to add the LTE provisions but it's probably more strict with pre-negotiated corporate options.
i'm still on an old Blackberry BIS 6gb plan and I get LTE speeds on my android phone

What are the details - before and after - of your plan?? Too vague as stated. Need details. Does it include canada wide LD? value packs? etc. Was that 4GB there to begin with? They dont have a retentions or retail plan that gives 4GB in ontario so assume this was a possible grandfather plan. PQ has a 60 dollar plan with 3GB, unlimited canada wide, no vp. Your plan less hst is about that. Approx $64 b4 taxes. With extra 1GB for ontario it's not bad but you need to get vp included. Get it down to at least 55 plus tx include vp wouldnt be bad.

-unlimited canada wide
4GB data
-unlimited txt/video/pics
-unlimited canada/us/intl text
-value pack vvm, cid/name, who called
-internet share ready
-rogers one number
-2500CF, call waiting, group calling

If you can get above for 50-55 plus tx is ok.
If the glove don't fit you must acquit! #WINNING

Just called in, wow these guys don't budge. Offered me the $70 plan with $10 credit. No luck getting them to waive upgrade or admin fee either.

Well looks like you got the $80 plan -$20 credits + $5 Long Distance, so I'd say it's the best offer they'll give on that plan. IDK where aznnorth is getting $50 from as nobody in Ontario has been offered anything that low.

Usually they will offer unlimited canada-wide calling, 2gb of data for $55 + tax, which is about what you're paying with GRRF added on.

I am sure this has been asked before, but I am trying to see if there are any new updates on plan/price matching the $39 Fido plan thru retention? Any luck with that Or any close-success to it?

No one's going to match that plan from fido, they can't. And btw, they're not crediting any EHUPs over 6 months, you're SOL for that--new policy.

That's not bad at all----I'm assuming you have a better choice bundle somewhere in there.

If you're in 30+months since last HUP, you'll get a credit for it in 1-2 months for the admin fee/upgrade fee

I think Sniper has a corporate plan. All of them are either 5-6 GB incl. to begin with...
Exactly. Its the Corp 350 plan ($20/month) combined with my existing 6GB Data Plan ($30/month.) :)

Exactly. Basically the $70/month plan with a $5 add-on and a $20 monthly plan discount (the maximum they can give, apparently.) Try to get this to take advantage of the 1GB + 1GB promo, and wait till a better plan shows up to switch again.
