Total of $1509 (excluding GST/HST) for the Phone vs. $1379 excluding GST/HST directly from Apple. You also lose 2GB of data.

$70 extra/month x 24 mo's = $1680
less $600
+ $429 = total of $1509 excluding GST/HST.

People have to stop looking at total monthly cost and start looking at how much does the actual plan cost without the phone

However much value/cost someone places on the 6gb plan will determine it this is a deal or not.

Go to koodo with the 40/8 plan, pay 429 for the phone up front and add another 40 a month for your plan. You're now paying 80 a month for 8 GB with no credit on your account...

Yes the plan at Rogers is more expensive, everyone knows this... But just the phone itself is actually cheaper

Remember, cost of phone and cost of plan are 2 different things

24x$110 + $429 = $3467.97 (taxes in)

Credits are probably $600 flat. Brings you to $2867.97 out of pocket when taken into account.

Then we look at what Apple would charge you for the phone if you bought it outright and did a Boyd plan from Rogers. iPhone xs 64 gig is $1379 + tax = $1558.27 taxes in. So if we subtract that from the above $2867.97 you get $1309.70 for what is 24 months of service.

Final is $54.57 taxes in per month for unlimited calling, texting and 6 gigs. Looks good to me. It’s Rogers so not a discount carrier. What am I missing (asking legitimately) as I’m going to signup right now?

- Koodo 40 a month for 8GB
- 660 for iphone XS up front
-Extra large tab at 30 a month
Cost
660 upfront plus 30 for tab x 24 months = 1380 plus tax for the phone
40 a month for plan x 24 months = 960 plus tax for the plan
Total = 2340 plus tax

- Rogers 70 a month for 6GB plan
- 429 for Iphone XS up front
- ultra tab at 40 a month
Cost
429 upfront cost plus 40 x 24 = 1389 plus tax for phone
70 a month for plan x 24 months = 1680 plus tax
Total cost = 3069 plus tax for plan and phone
Subtract 600 for bill credits = 3069 - 600 = 2469 plus tax

So you're paying 129 more total over 2 years and getting 2GB of data less per month... this is also assuming the 40 a month for 8GB plan is an in market plan... which it's not

Like I said, we all know rogers is more expensive when it comes to their monthly plans AND if you want to make this a real comparison you take an equivalent in market plan from koodo, not a promo plan which probably less then 1% of the population has
