hi, has anyone been in this situation? i have a blackberry data plan with voice, i have about 2 years left on the contract but i will be away from the country for 6 months (unexpected leave)... what can i do/say to Rogers to minimize my monthly charges for the time i will be away? or since i signed a 3 year contract i am stuck with what i have and have to pay my monthly fee even if im not using the phone at all? please help!

[ooops]

and does anyone have a direct line to rogers customer rep? i am already out of the country, just tried calling and didnt get any help at all from them.. she was so rude!

Not sure if this is the same for Rogers. But on fido when I was away for 3 months just changed it to a 15$ plan which saved a bit of money. I guess it mostly depends on your data contract. On fido I have a separate contract for it :/

Does rogers have park available? For Telus I was able to park a number so we ended up paying less for the plan for the duration of the park. Like a vacation mode or something similar.

[ooops]

my call display is free... i dont have any options besides my data plan... everything else is credited or is part of my data plan...

Back in the day I was able to run the remaining 10 months or so for $7/mth. That was with bell. I doubt you could do that now tho.

Couple years back I was away for 3 months and had telus "freeze" my account meaning I only got charged $10 a month, but they added 3 months onto the contract(extending it)

call up rogers and explain your situation

I think its *611

they'll probably disable your sim but still charge you $10/ month or something
don't you have a friend or relative that could use the number and pay for you ?

They will charge you a "minimum plan" for like $10 or $15 dollars/month like that.
Otherwise, try selling your plan on Craigslist
