Sounds like a sweet deal, but I'd need more data if the larger business plan came with unlimited texts I'd jump all over this

i've seen similar deals before on craigslist ( out of all places ), but they're always so quick to pull out (thats what she said ), then they're gone for a while.

My question is, how the heck do the csr's pay off your cancellation fee. Doesn't Seem like a very appropriate approach for a business. LOL

This is possibly the greatest incentive i've seen. I've seen free phones, subsidized prices. But never buy 1 get 1 free + cancellation fee coverage.

Has anyone been able to get these plans without showing proof of business? Last time I checked, you needed a business # or one of those tax receipts for a business before being able to go on one of these plans.

just called
so what they do is if u switch to bell (min 2 lines) they will credit each line $400 to cover ur cancelation.
and they have a buy 1 get 1 phone free. so if u're getting S3 for $159, u save an additional $159+tax for the 2nd phone
so that is $800 in credits for 2 lines plus save $180 for a 2nd phone
$55 per line which includes unlimited incoming, 6gb lte for each line too with CID
this definitely beats out the rogers super plan
im leaning towards trnsfring right now

Anyone possibly want to go in on this with me? I just switched my plan to the Rogers super plan, but switching to this shouldnt be difficult. Wonder if I'd have to get a new number+add more texts to the $55 plan though

Might be inconvenient in the future since they mentioned "shared minutes" in their ad.

Case in point, my Wife's phone is under my name, so whenever she needs to do anything with her plan, the telco company needs me to authorize it (I assume I might be on the hook if she decides to void her contract etc.). They also won't allow me to transfer the account to her name if we want to keep the number either.

Anyways, sounds like a great deal for people who have no contract or near expiring contracts though.

Good point...that shared minutes could be annoying...maybe its only good for family or good friends to pair up

thats exactly what I was going to suggest. My mother doesn't use data at all, and i'd be hogging the 6 gigs.

in the ad, it says 6 gigs shared ( 12 gigs - two lines ). Does that mean we're sharing 12 gigs in total if we port over 2 lines?

Thanks for calling 2 n r

went today. Dissapointed lol
they give you $10 credit very month for 3 years. $360 dollars in "credit", which pays for your cancellation fee.
You don't see the -360 credit on your bill. Its simply 10 dollars off

Davy on RS should still be able to give you the same deal for Telus. Same $55 plan but $400 of credit per line activated (meaning you get at least $800 in credits since you need 2 for a business plan). And it is used to pay for your plan every month. Not $10/month loool that's a joke.

that guy told me we get the $400 credit on the 2nd or 3rd months bill and said we shouldnt have to pay our phoine bill for about 5 months.. i havent switched yet but im gonna have to double check if thats true
this was for the small buisness plan
very inconsistent info..

the bottom line is, its port in credit basically, they will give you $10 off every month for the whole term of your contract and give you 1 free phone which equates to the fee to cancel your 2 phone lines to switch over. Thats all it is

first of all, his name isn't even TOM, lol :twirl eye:
there are a couple plans he offered me, but the 55 dollar plan is only 10 dollars off a month for 3 years.

theres a much shitter plan than this, which I think is about 47 dollars before taxes, and thats the one that gives you 800 dollars in port credit on your bill, which is a great deal...too bad the plan sucks a nut
