Same with me. Been with Rogers for over 15 years with 3 lines. Swriched all 3 today and it felt good leaving Rogers. Hated having to beg for deals and credits.SuperGT wrote: ↑ Rogers' loyalty sucks just as much. I've been with them for 17+ years, just switched all 5 lines to this Fido promo. I had five old grandfather plans, voice + 6GB data ($80+tax), called them yesterday to match this Fido promo. The retention/loyalty rep said the best she could do was similar to Fido's promo but 3gb for $60. I told the CSR she can note this offer along with losing 5 lines. Swapped them all yesterday and today I get a call from Rogers asking why I switched. I just told him to read the note on my account or review the recorded conversation and have a good day.

this new sim cards work for either regular size, micro, or nano. So you won't have to worry.trinxified wrote: ↑ i got it all done thru online chat...

as someone who way back in the day worked in the call centre for one of the big 3 (cough green cough) it's really not the reps fault. They can only offer you what has been created. All the plans all the add-ons are all built in system and the reps have a list of what they're able to provide. Not that you're wrong though, Rogers probably should have created a similar plan just for retention purposes during this boxing day but they chose not to for whatever reason.SuperGT wrote: ↑ Rogers' loyalty sucks just as much.

I felt really good leaving too, the funny thing about this is going from Robbers to another Robbers in disguise.Kimberlee1 wrote: ↑ Same with me. Been with Rogers for over 15 years with 3 lines. Swriched all 3 today and it felt good leaving Rogers. Hated having to beg for deals and credits.

in BC bell and telus are better for sure but I mean you're not going to get bad service. Big 3 all have great coverage with good speeds overall. It's just dependent on places you frequent, where you live, etc...

sounds like you made a good choice. The only major downside is no subsidized phones but you didn't have that anyway being on a grandfathered plan most likely.trinxified wrote: ↑ thanks guys regarding the sim card size.
and is this the best plan out right now for the most data?
I'm leaving a Telus grandfathered plan for this, so hopefully it's the right call. cost is similar, but a lot more features on Fido.

my two days experience: in some areas, I cannot reach the person and call went to directly in voicemail. Actually when I called, both my wife and I were in the same mall. if you have similar plan or a bit worse, but satisfied with coverage and speed, I'd suggest stay with Bell

Best plan is 3GB for 15$ on the Fido tablet deal, Speakout pre-paid, put both SIM into a dual SIM phone. 3GB LTE data for 15$/month + 25$/year on the speakout for when I need to make or receive very important calls. Everything else, use fongo/google voice.trinxified wrote: ↑ thanks guys regarding the sim card size.

I came to Fido from a Telus Corp plan and to be honest, for me Fido/Rogers is much better than Telus. I got better reception, and with Telus most of the time I'm on 3G when I'm at <3 bars, and with Fido I'm always on LTE. Plus with Fido you get VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling. Although Telus recently introduced wifi calling, but in Toronto there's no VoLTE, which means your call will drop when you leave your wifi zone. So overall Fido is a good choice.trinxified wrote: ↑ thanks guys regarding the sim card size.

Though some reps are clueless and don't offer what they can which is why you get diff results on diff calls.
