Rogers wanted me to pay $105 + tax for for 5GB... Sure I got unlimited calling and text, but what a scam

Thing is my credits are both for 24 months. And yes it is a Share Everything Plus plan. Not bad at all...And if you do go with a HUP it is cheaper than buying a phone outright over the long term. Because youre paying $20 extra a month. thats $240 + tax over the year plus the cost of an iPhone 6S+ is $609. So $849+ tax essentially. | $20 in comparison to which plan?
You probably miscalculated because a contract term is 2 years, not 1. So in reality, you're paying $480 more, plus the iphone 6s price. Quote:

Also most iphone 4 have been on the market for a few years now and battery life on these phones aren't the best. I know my mom iphone 4 barely made it through the day and she barely use her phone. With Iphone is usually every other gen you see big improvements. Iphone 4 VS iphone5 or Iphone 4s VS Iphone 5s. So upgrading from IP4 to IP5s you are going to see a big improvement.
Sure you might not use your data now but what about the future. Change of jobs, life or maybe you move or your jobs requires you to be away from the city where there isn't very good shaw wifi. Or you switch ISP? Shaw Wifi might be good if you are going to be in the same spot. Try driving or taking the skytrain. Shaw wifi won't connect very well when you are on the go. I try that shaw wifi didn't work out.
Cell phone providers aren't going to come up with better plans then when you had an awesome old plan. I would keep it as long as I can and buy my phone outright. | You misunderstood what I meant, I meant each generations, iphone 4 to 4s, iphone 4s to 5, iphone 5 to 5s, etc. are little upgrades. I won't argue that iphone 4 is very outdated in terms of hardware and upgrading to a 5s or 6 is definitely a no brainer.
As for plans and the circumstances you're talking about that PROBABLY will arise once every few years (aside from going out of city), and telus is already putting up wifi's around the city. So think about how much you're paying just to prepare for these changes, that might not even happen. I'm not saying get a plan without no data. Get 1GB of data as back up, obviously not to stream videos while driving. Any time you're not on wifi, you can still receive messages.
If you're just paying $80/month to keep a plan you barely use, in prepare for some changes that might happen in the next 2 - 10 years, than I think it's pretty stupid. By the time that "change" comes, you already throw thousands of dollars that you could have saved, out the window, and are you really going to be like "finally, those phone bills paid off?" If such changes do come, you can always go back on a monthly plan but just without as much data as you have now, it's still not that big of a lost especially when you find ways to adapt to your phone usage after the "change".
Either way, which is why I ask, do you actually use up 80% of your plan. Evaluate your phone usage for the past 12 months, and prepaid just might save you a thousand bucks.

I SEE why some of you might go with prepaid. I still won't go that low.
There are times when I'm driving and I do need wifi, or I do need to message someone on whatsapp. For those needs, I would pay an extra 20 bucks.
To have limited coverage say with Wind or Koodoo, that I can live with, but with zero data and only available at wifi spots, that I would pay extra.

Koodo is the only one that rollover as far as I know, as long as you renew every month.

I'm trying to help a friend get a good Rogers retention deal. She tried to negotiate a few months back, but the CSR didn't budge and counter offered with a higher priced plan. Has Rogers retention policy changed?

i havent gotten anything out of them, and ive been pretty successful over the years.
my retention plan contract is up and they wont do hardware upgrade so im basically paying $20 more. but still way less than any advertised plan.
the cost of losing a customer is probably just less than handing out deals at this point. if you got a good plan stick with it and buy your own phone

^ im pretty damn sure you would need to unlock your rogers phone for it to work on fido. Carrier specific is still carrier specific regardless if rogers owns fido

i was reading the howard forums info but wanted to know if there's something different for those of us in BC?
do i need to get my wifes phone unlocked? no big deal if so
do i still need to do into koodo and sign up and get a sim, or can this be done online?
if you have a link that's applicable to BC people that would be much appreciated
thanks

Anyone here have any experiences they can share with Koodoo's service? I don't care about the perks if I'm paying $50/month and won't ever go over my monthly limits.

I haven't had any issues with Koodo since I've been with them. Happy as a clam paying $53/mo taxes in for unlimited everything and 5gb of data.
