Hi all,
I wanted your thoughts on this new Samsung A71 phone for $140 with Rogers EPP. My current EPP is $56 (5GB + North America Calling). I wish I could get the 20GB (Canadian Call for $60), but it seems that I need to finance the phone.

I am bit confused with EPP $56 (I get the phone for $140) but for other plans is ($60 for 10GB + financing so additional $28 monthly for phone).

Does this make sense to anyone?

I currently have Samsung S8+.
I know its a down grade from Galaxy S to Galaxy A.

Does anyone has this phone? if so any suggestion.

$28*24 = 672.

You can get the A71 outright for $480 or so direct from Samsung. Just buy it outright, it's not worth it to get a 2 year contract for a phone like this.

Also didn't EPP have 20GB for $60 or so? 10GB for $60 isn't that good

The $56 5gb plan is even more outrageous when you can get $36 5gb without epp

EPP $56 for 5GB (North America) - so I am paying $18 per month ($18*24 = $432) + ($140 phone up front) = $572 for the phone.

If I were to buy the phone $530 (out right) and get on a BYOB for $60 ($4*24 = $96) = $530+96 = $626.

does this make sense? $54 in total for 5 GB of additional data but lost CA to US calling?
