My account contract is until Feb 2017, and I got some kind of samsung (the one everyone else got!).
Anyone can estimate what it would be? I am currently on the $50 plan if that matters but have been on the $40 plan before last month.
I also have until Feb left on my account. I'm thinking maybe around 30CAD. I hope it's not more.

Why? You're paying $5 more ($7 if you set up automated billing) for half the data. You're paying $89 over your cancellation fee to zoomer ($5 extra compared to PM x 12 months - $36 cancellation fee) over the span of 2 years, plus you end up being on contract.kc2168 wrote: ↑ Just upgraded my $36/mo ( $40-10%) which would expire Feb 2017.

This is new to me. You don`t need to pay off your contract if you are getting the retention $45 plan without getting a new phone and continue with the old contract.kc2168 wrote: ↑ Just upgraded my $36/mo ( $40-10%) which would expire Feb 2017.

His previous 2y plan is almost over, so it makes sense to get the new phone now and bring the price down for the selling value... Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth at all compared to PM.embguy wrote: ↑This is new to me.

Unless you want a new phone, you need to pay off the old contract and starts another 2 years contract to get a new phone.

I wasn't counting the phone, which mind you ties you to a 2 year contract. Not sure if that's worth it for $120.max011 wrote: ↑I don’t follow your math…Oaccurescry wrote: ↑Why?

PM=$38 vs. Zoomer=$45 = $7 difference/month
If you sell the phone for say an easy $120 [maybe more - don’t know prices, and you can even keep it] but for the math purpose:
$120 /24 months = -$5/m makes it $2 difference/m
He paid $36 penalty over 24 months = $1.5
So it’s only $3.5/month more compared to PM, or even less, depending on selling price of the phone.
In this case I'd say it’s not too bad if you never ever use more than 2GB data [and don’t plan to in the next 2 years] and really, really badly need Canada-wide talking..
I wouldn’t go for that, but everyone’s circumstances are not the same.

Exactly what you said. Don't tell Zoomer. Port your number to PM. Zoomer will send you the final bill with the outstanding phone account balance.Didi_beee wrote: ↑ Hi everyone,
I don't want to read through this and the PM thread to find my answer, was hoping someone could quickly answer here. I'm planning on making the switch from Zoomer to PM. My contract with Zoomer should be ending this January. I understand there will be a small penalty if I want to switch over now. Do I need to contact Zoomer? I would like to port my old number so I know I need to keep my account active. Once I receive my sim card from PM, I activate it and port from Zoomer, what next? no need to let Zoomer know? They will just send me a final bill and thats it?
Thanks for responding!

I have the same thinking and want to keep my monthly payment down. Why pay for something that I may not use. My family members were trained by Rogers to live with 500MB data, 2500 text and 200 local minutes per month for very long time. Zoomer $36 plan meets our need. Agree, everyone always wants more. As soon as I open the tap, it is very hard for them to go back to 1GB/m again.max011 wrote: ↑...Oaccurescry wrote: ↑

Something like this deal would fit me just great too cuz I don’t need 4GB data and more than 400 minutes. Point being I don’t believe in getting the bucket of features I’m not using even if it’s cheap ATM so I will not get the PM plan either. I'd rather look for even cheaper plan with less fillings.

If you initially signed up with a 50% off promo for the first 3/6 months, they may ask you to pay 50% for those first 3/6 months since that promo is usually only given if you agree to a 2-year term (along with a subsidized phone)...don't hold me to this as I'm just speculating on a "worst case scenerio"...I have no knowledge of official policy or "fine print" on the matter.bvit6667 wrote: ↑ To my understanding, there is no "penalty" for breaking your contract early. You will, however, be required to pay off the balance remaining related to the device you received with your contract. There is no need to contact Zoomer. When your number is ported they will compute what is owed, complete a final bill and charge you what is owed. Please add to or correct this info if you have a different understanding.

Zoomer does not have 3/6 months 50% promo.
