I have the same plan but pay 67 tax in.

can retentions waive the "system access fee ($6.95)" from your bill ? does Fido or telus still charge this fee?

^fwiw, newer plans don't have the SAF anymore.

so I called retentions and got unlimited everything with 500mb for $60 plus tax, did a hardware upgrade for a galaxy s4 for $99.99 after the $50 rebate (2 years contract)

They were not willing to go any lower or match fido's plan for unlimited everything and 2GB of data for $60 plus tax

Dont think Rogers will match the old plan of Fido where unlimited everything with 2gb data for $60, as many customers have pursued that, and its been such awhile ago.
I got mine when another rs member mentioned about that free 1gb if your plan is $70+, hence unlimited everything w/ 2gb for $70.

But now Fido has the unlimited everything w/ 2gb for $65, so you can still try to negotiate $5 difference or more if they allow.

Sometimes I wanna leave robbers and go fido... Anyone know how reception is, strong or dead areas?? My friend tells me victoria/59th has dead zones...
Concern for me as my phone is needed for work...

they were not willing to go any lower like $55 plus tax etc....and were not willing to match with fido also

Dang. This 2 year contract thingy raised monthly by alot

Blame it on people bitching and not understanding the benefit of 3 years contracts. I mean shit, how often are people fucking switching from company to company period let alone within a 3 year contract.

slightly better offer last night

2GB Plan /w 2 month unlimited Data and Samsung Galaxy 4 at $0.00 @$75.00/mo

but I'm still pushing for something better or at least $65.00/mo which someone I know got last week with a hardware upgrade !

Rogers and Fido use the same towers since they are the same company, anywhere there is dead zone for Rogers will be dead zone for Fido.

I actually switched from Rogers to Fido last year and I have noticed identical signal strength everywhere I go. I'm glad I did because Rogers plans = ass rape now.

^^ agreed... Rogers loves to rape you lol...

I havent found any dead zones yet, but I'm interested to find out where lol...

One day when I finish this agreement I will definitely bounce over to fido... Really hope then there will be a good deal like that $60 plan mentioned earlier...

No blame it on the greedy company. When the 3 year plan was cancel Telus, Bell and Rogers all raise the price for their plan as well as the up front cost for a phone. So Basically they are making 40% or more on thier new 2year plans Vs their old plans. Is just a money grab.

I love to see the CRTC take revenge on the big 3 like not accepting their bid on the new 700Mhz specturm.

They DO have a $60 unlimited talk/text + 2GB plan right now. Its in the Standard Plans section which means you can only get the shitty phones.

Can you get the S4 with that plan? Just wondering.......

currently i have the a grandfather plan. basically its the cold city fido plan. with 6gb, call display, voice mail, n 2500 txt for 60 plus tax. its time for renewal... the only downside with fido is that they dont have the phone that i want which is the note3. with that in mind.. is it worth switching over to rogers or telus for the note3 n asking retention to see if they could somewhat match my plan?

or should i just keep my plan n see if they are willing to upgrade the data to lte? n just get a iphone 5s?

Not sure how the plan works but for lte I though all you need is a LTE sim card? Also it might be cheaper to keep your currently plan sign 2 year with Fido for the iphone5s and thens ell it or trade for the note3.

LTE is dependent on whether you have an LTE capable phone and sim card.

so i called rogers retentions and they said i can have a plan for LTE if i switch to nexus 5 or s4, $75 or $85 (i forgot, probably $85) for 3gb of LTE with everything else included.....

is it worth it? Any other company have cheaper LTE plans that i can bargain for? My 3 year contract ends in June and i tried bargaining saying I am almost done my contract and been a 3 year loyal customer etc.... but no budge

nope. standard plans are shit.

just curious as to how ppl have been fairing with their negotiations now with these new rules that have come into play?

just got new plan today from business retentions. $75 for unltd Canada and US calling, plus unlimited sms mms globally, cid etc and 6GB. Took no negotiations at all, Rep just offered it to me and I took it. I had a 6GB plan and a voice plan with lots of expiring bill credits before.

I was worried that retentions weren't giving out good plans anymore so good to know is still possible

^$75 for that plan is not cheap at all

I was thinking the same thing.

it wasnt 3 years ago, but try getting a better one now. cant even do a hardware renewal if plan is under $60

Does anyone know if there is a new Government employees plan now?
