Rogers will give you a great deal to get you to stay with them. Check out the retentions thread in the Cell Phone forum.

ya the catch is gotta extend 2-3 years more, which i could careless. Because no matter which company u switch, at the end of the day you still need a wireless provider for u to bs on the phone

Telus/Bell may switch, but their prices will stay the same. Even if YAK manages to get their cell phone service off the ground, I don't see how they can offer unlimited calling/ unlimited texting (which is what everyone wants at a price of $30/month) without losing money and/or eventually raising prices.
Check out Red Flag Deals or Howard Forums for deals that various people are getting. However, set your expectations reasonably; unless you've been a customer for a long time (e.g. 6+ years), don't expect to get some ridiculous plan at $15-20/month.
If you're looking to get an I-Phone, you might as well get a data plan. For reference, I pay just under $50/month on my CrackBerry. I have the EPP voice plan and a $20 data plan which gives me 10K texts, 500 megs of data, voice, and caller ID. If you can't get 6 Gigs of data, I wouldn't worry too much because unless you're tethering, you won't even get up to 500 megs a month.

Mine
Fido $17.50
200 mins (by the second)
Unlimited eve and weekends starting from 5pm
I added voicemail, who's calling, caller ID, and I think 150 text messages or 200 I can't remember.
After taxes, that stupid $6.95 fee, etc = $40.something cents
Remember with Fido it's by the second. To some it doesn't matter because they have other benefits like unlimited incoming or free rogers to rogers that off sets it a bit but overall by the second imo is dope.

I'm on Virgin Mobile. It's pay as you go. $20 a month after everything. 200 anytime minutes.
I use my phone mainly for work and don't do any texting. I like it because theres no plan, plus you get 3 free months when you buy a 50 dollar phone.

500mb data

imo Rogers, although it has many faults is still by far the best provider, especially if you are a long time customer
the other ones like Kuudo etc. seem like they are for people on welfare, they are all just gimicks and in the end you pay more than you would with rogers.

Call rogers/fido and kindly ask for the retention plan (keep calling until a CSR says ok)
It's a standard $25 plan they give to everyone who's contract is about to expire.
200 daytime minutes
no SAF/911
unlimited even/weekends
free incoming calls
CID/VM
unlimited fido 2 fido
2500 txt message
Only stipulation is you gotta sign a 2 year contract...for $25/month you shouldn't really care...you're going to need a cell phone provider anyways.

out of curiousity
with fido and rogers and bell and such...is there the same system access fee and 911 fees?
I don't see the point in telling people you have a $20 plan if after taxes its like $35.

Several or most of Fido's plans don't have the SAF. All Rogers plans have it and its 6.95. Both require a $0.50 (or $1.00?) 911 fee.
