[CityFone] Double min, Double data, bonus 50% off for 6 months - Net $35/month (400min, text, 1GB plan)

Deal Link:

50% off
Retailer:
CityFone
Unbelievable offer at CityFone!

I have been a CityFone subscriber for several years and have recommended them highly to my friends and family. I was waiting for a sweet deal before I renewed, and this is it!

Double minutes/text/data + 50% off the first 6 months when you sign up a 2-year contract.

See the “Lower your costs even more” section below for additional savings.

400 Canada wide minutes
1 GB LTE data
Unlimited international text msg
Voice mail
Caller ID
$40/month
Net price: $35/month
(i.e. when you factor in the $120 discount for 6 months at 50% off of $40)

(Discount details: For the $40 plan, the 50% off discount is 6 months x $20 off/month = $120, or $5 off/month over 2 years)

FAQ: How do I lower my costs even more?
- Save $150. Sell the free phone that comes with the contract. Resale value may vary.
- Save $25. Get a Referral from a CityFone subscriber for an additional $25 off.

Note: RFD rules don’t allow you to publically request referrals, or to post that you have referrals to give.

FAQ: Who is CityFone?
- CityFone is owned by Rogers and runs on the Rogers network. It’s basically their “private label” network where they re-brand the Rogers service under different names such as Zoomer Wireless, RBC Talk and Save, Sears Connect.
- Deal is available across Canada.

FAQ: How do I find out more?
- Plan details: www.cityfone.net
- Phone choices: http://www.cityfone.net/phones
- Phone number: 1-888-499-7566

FAQ: If I’m not interested in the phones they have how do I just get the double mins/double data plan?
- You need to sign up for the 2 year plan to get the double min/double data. If you don’t want the phone, just sell it.

Finally, I hope this helped you save lots of money!

My wife signed up with them as Rogers was screwing us around with our bill. Two months later: no difference in service whatsoever, half the bill.

They have a Bring Your Own Phone 10% off discount, but it says it "Cannot be combined with other offers":

LINK

If you could combine BYOP with this deal, it would be $36/mo instead of $40/mo, and 6 months at $18 (50% off), so should average $31.50/mo.

Anyone want to try this and report back?

I been with Cityfone for a few months now. No complaints at all! I am glad I ditched Fido. The CS at Cityfone are really friendly. Its based out in BC if that matters. But for us, that means even later support hours.

Cityfone will only give you the double minutes/data promo if you purchase one of their phones on a 24 month term. I was able to unlock and sell the phone I received earlier this year for $180. YMMV with the current handsets.

The best deal is to take the $40 plan with six months at half price, get an existing customer to refer you for an additional $25 credit and pick the phone that you think will be easiest to sell. Assuming you sell the phone for $150, you're looking at ($40 x 24 months) - $120 six month discount - $150 from selling the phone - $25 referral = $665. That's $27.71 per month.

My wife and I recently signed up for the CityFone Family Plan. Managed to sell my Galaxy Grand Prime for $130, so that's not too bad. We only got the 3 months 50% off though. Wonder if I can call in and get 6 months?

Rogers operates Cityfone and Cityfone provides wireless services to Zoomer, they have the same coverage.
Public Mobile is a divison of Telus, runs on Telus network.

i think youre forgetting taxes, theres no tax on selling the phone or the referral credit so you shouldnt be minusing that cost from the full 24month cost before tax
I believe the cost would be:
((40x24months - 120) x tax) - 150 - 25
final cost differs based on your tax %

for ontario it works out to be $32.26/month after taxes.
im just nitpicking but the difference is less than $1/month if your calculation was used

Not that hot any more… Only 1G data. If you add just $5 or $6 more, you get Public Mobile 2GB data plan [Telus network].. No contracts, no credit checks, no hustles selling low end phones...

On contract since July 2015, reception and coverage is ok but have had horrible customer service.

I signed up for 2 years with a subsidized Galaxy Core for 40$-400 minutes 1gb + usual stuff with 50% off for 3 months ($5 more than current offer & half the 50% discount duration).

Recently I needed a nano sim (bought a S6) and customer service rep incessantly demanded $25 + tax for a sim card! Website has nothing listed for fees for sim card change. I brought this to the attention of the reps and they rudely stated that a sim card is an accessory and that's the cost. Take it or leave it. $5 to 10 is reasonable but $25 is outrageous. It didn't matter to them that I was a loyal who had referred them customers.

TLDR: Abyssmal customer service. Loyalty means nothing. $25+tax sim card

Same...

I'd also be interested on anyone who is with Cityfone for their retentions plan. Is it $45 for 2GB like zoomer?

Correct but they are not different companies, the share the same call centre.
