Are there any decent plans which eat upfront costs on new devices any longer?
Wife and I are both on that scam “$60/10GB” plan which is now like $148 per month as it magically went up on its own, so when the new iPhone is released I figure I might as well go back on a term contract to get 2 new devices as opposed to spending 5G’s up front and staying on these stupid 10gb plans..

how does everyone not get this?
yes i know it got bumped up by $10 to $65 last year but its still an amazing deal
heard 5G internet is coming though | Because not everyone wants/needs 10GB. Why pay almost double for something I'm not going to use?

So I'm stuck on an old legacy plan with 2GB for $45 on Fido. Any ideas on how to get a better deal without changing providers? I've called 2 times now and told asked to speak to retentions, threatened to leave, etc. Both times been stonewalled and had the agent shrug their shoulders when I tell them about deals from Freedom or when I tell them I'm going to leave.
I'm not really going over my 2GB limit since I'm on wifi all the time but it would be nice to be bumped up to 4 or 5GB at least just in case.

I'd keep trying retentions and just telling them youd stay if they can just bump you 2 gigs , as 45$ for 4gb or better is pretty decent on plans these days, specially for a "better" provider that's not the big 3

Anyone familiar with Chatr (Rogers) or Public (Telus)? After being on Wind/Freedom contracts for years, I went with their prepaid plan a few months ago, but 1.5 Gigs isn't cutting now that I'm in a different line of work.
Public and Chatr have similar $40 (4-4.5 gig) and $50 (8-8.5 gig) plans, but the Chatr plans are promos, subject to change at any time, with 2 and 6 gig standard with the rest as bonus data.
Leaning towards Public. Freedom doesn't seem to offer anything beyobd the 1.5 plan.

So right now I'm on a Bell flex iPad plan (apparantly it doesn't exist anymore). 5 dollar maintenance fee, and just pay for however much data you use. This was a great deal for me when I didn't live here full time and was traveling back and forth and used as needed. Now that I have moved back full time though, not having an actual number is a hassle especially since my building buzzer system sucks when using fongo.
Realistically, I rarely use phone/text because I just whatsapp / messenger everything. So what's the cheapest, data heavy plan? Any particular deals going on right now ? Thanks in advance!

^I honestly haven't needed customer support for anything cell phone related in 17 years that I can recall. I do prefer brick and mortor customer service and physical copies over downloaded content or online purchases.
*On another note, I have found a phone locally of the current generation for sale, which was purchased off ebay and seems to be locked to AT&T. The seller has been unable to get it unlocked and 3rd party stores have told her it's too new to have unlocking software written for it or something of that nature. The price is heavily discounted compared to similar phones. Is this worth looking into or is she or whoever buys it SOL?

60 bucks a month for 10gb data, unlimited Canada wide calling with Koodo
Was on a $49 5gb Quebec plan for a while until Koodo found out (more so of the call center overseas) I didn't have the correct plan and locked me out for getting future contracts.

Probably not worth the time and hassle to try to get it unlocked. 3rd party stores are either using software cracks, or getting the unlock on the side like https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/06/...unlock-phones/ I think us unlock rules are more restrictive than Canada's.

Yes, this is the $48 MB/SK plan - it's been 5 years. | Same. Wifey and I have this plan. Probably won't ever change unless something with more data comes out and is cheaper. 5 gigs is plenty for us.

Was on fido 4gig for $45, got an offer on my fido app for 6gig at $50 (pulse plan). Pretty decent. They also gave me another offer 8gigs at $55 but i'd rather save the 5 bucks since i dont need that much.

40 Per Month
4 GB of Data
Unlimited Canada-Wide Talk & International Text
-Details
INCLUDES Plan Includes Details
Unlimited Canada-wide Talk
Unlimited Text to Canada,
US & International
4 GB at 3G speed. Continue using data at a reduced speed until your next Anniversary Date.
International Talk Saver
Voicemail
Data Management Policy
BONUS DATA OFFER. This offer includes 2 GB of bonus data at 3G speed in addition to the 2 GB already included in the plan. Offer available for a limited time and subject to change without notice.
While Freedom didn't not say if their data is all going to LTE or 4g or 3g. Also their coverage isn't the greatest. Even some area in Van you lose connection.
I rather pay a bit more and go with Fido.
