You would have to renegotiate your whole plan. That is what I was told, only the "new" plans can have the 2.58.

No SAF for me either on my retention plan that I negotiated last week. They told me that it's no longer being charged to retentions...

just say you want to cancel, if they ask why.. tell them that their telus or something can give you a better deal if you sign up with a shared plan or something.

then they will "Transfer you to someone who can help you" - that should be the customer loyalty dept.... aka retentions

Anyone going to try to get the new 6gb data plan thats coming out? I'm gonna see if they will just change my 500mb to 6gb... It's the same price I think.

I'll see how it goes, after I get my Galaxy S, so far I'm using only about 3-4 mb/day on my N82 off the data network. After that I might try to convince them to give it to me for a "subsidized price" as I am a loyal Rogers customer

I just want the 6gb so I don't have to worry about going over and getting raped by data charges. And so I can tether my laptop.

Just got off the phone with retentions and my plan should be:

My Old Plan
$20 250 Day Time Unlimited Evening Weekend
$5 Early Evening 6PM
Call Display (credited 8$)
Unlimited Incoming (credited 10$)
$5 Text Messaging
$6.95 System Acess Fee
$0.75 9-1-1 Fee

Total: $37.70 before taxes

New Plan: Essentially the same thing except I got free early evening and lost my SAF/911 for the gov't fee

$17.50 200 Day Time Minutes, Unlimited Evening/Weekend, Early Evening 6PM
-Unlimited Incoming (credited 10$)
-Call Display (credited 8$)
-$5 500 Outgoing Text messaging (seems too few sometimes but I can manage with it)/Unlimited incoming sms
-$2.58 Gov't Fee

Total comes to $25.08 before taxes

Planning to go with the $30/6gb data plan when i do my HUP so total should be

$55.08 before taxes

Old plan:
/250 day
/ UL E.W @ 6PM
/ CID,VM, Name Display, 2500 text
/ R2R
/ SAF + 911
- $31.03 after taxes

Rogers offering:
300 day
UL E/W @ 6PM
CID, VM, ND, 2500 txt
- $27.xx after taxes.

Add the 6GB and my total somehow became $62.xx after taxes.

In other words, I'm paying a dollar more if I kept my old plan but removed the SAF and tack on the GRRF. She even planned to remove my R2R that's already credited.

I should call back Tuesday for something new. The CR lady explicitly stated she could not give me any monthly credits whatsoever.

You should try getting the value pack so you get more texts (CID/VM/2.5ktexts) and ask for it to be credited. If they don't credit fully, try $5.

Call in and say something along the lines of "I was thinking of canceling because of __________ and was wondering how I would go about doing so" that usually works for me, then they'll transfer you to retentions. From there on explain to the person and they SHOULD start offering you stuff, you can tell them what your looking for, they should help you. Obviously you have to be reasonable and its different from person to person some reps are really hard to talk to and some will give you whatever you like. I wouldn't ask for anything directly just hint it

The trick is what else can you get added onto the plan? I'm going to try to get them to add 500anytime minutes.
