cityfisher Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 Hi all, I just got off the phone with Rogers. I was threatining to go with Telus if they didnt offer me a MUCH better plan than i was getting before. I have been with rogers for over 5 years and was getting annoying to 80-100 a month phone bills ... wayyyyy to much. After complaining for a bit they offered me something pretty decent 250min during the day after 6PM to 8am free during the week free weekends call display/call waiting Voicemail 100 mins long distance in canada per month all for $25 a month + monthly act free 6.95( which no one or no carrier can bypass) + .50 911 fee= $32.45 + tax 4.50 = 36.95 thats with a 3 year plan and also a free Samsung d807 phone and No activation fee or other stupid fees.... So if your pissed about your plan ... dont hesitate and call your provider and givem hell
irishfield Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) Gee maybe I should get up the gumption to call them one day. I've been with Rogers for 21 years ! Just retired my $1600 Motorolla bought in 1985 due to it's failure and upgraded to probably the first version of a handheld (for a $1 on ebay) to stay analog for the back lakes. My plan gives me a whole 10 minutes of airtime a month and has always been that way. Existing customers have never been able to get a free phone offer and keep the same phone number they've had for being loyal for years. Mind you BOQ in November was the FIRST time I used more than 10 minutes a month in all those years...so maybe I'm just fine. LOL It's an emergency tool...not a two way radio !

danc Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 I have two phones with two different numbers for $40.00 per month. I can't recall the exact contract details at the moment, but unless I'm out of town and making long distance calls, I never go over my minutes. I'm with Thunder Bay telephone, which I believe is one of two municipally owned telephone services in the country. It's a great asset to our city. Makes us a ton of money, and the service is great.
John Bacon Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 monthly act free 6.95( which no one or no carrier can bypass) Is that was Rogers told you? The cell phone companies are currently facing a class action law suite over the system access fee. It has been portrayed as a tax by the cell phone companies; but it is merely an extra charge entirely controlled by the cell phone companies.
fishergirl72 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 We did the same thing with Roger's. We went to update our plan and they gave us a really hard time until we threatned to go with someone else and they went out of their way to keep us. They gave me a new cell phone for free and gave Fishindevil his cell phone for 50% off!
Gerritt Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 I just did this last week!! LOL My phone was dead as a door nail and the other one was acting up too... So I called em up and asked when my contract was up...(Had less then a month left) doing what I do I regularly get 200.00+ phone bills... they sent me two brand new phones FOC and we worked out a deal in terms of my airtime etc... 40 bux for 250 daytime and 150 daytime minutes for the other phone plus unlimited evening and weekend calling, voice mail etc for both phones... moral of the story??? The squeeky wheel gets the grease Gerritt.
Mike the Pike Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 Yup time to talk to Bell.$38 a month for 100 minutes.Some of you get 2 phones for that.
pigeonfisher Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 Hang on to your coat tails folks...In march (ish) you will be able to switch to any carrier you like and KEEP YOUR PHONE NUMBER!!!! details to follow.
Gerritt Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 Pig... you can even transfer your cell number to your home # Gerritt.
Corey Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 hrm... nice plans... but I think I will hang onto my rogers demo line... I like everything for nothing... I pay system access fee, 911 fee, 10 cents a minute for long distance, everything else is free... even unlimited data... I use my blackberry as a modem for my laptop on the road and surf pretty much anywhere I am. We were in sturgeon falls for a week in september, so I hooked the BB up to a laptop, and shared my internet with the other guys who brought laptops too... we all had wireless medium speed internet in the middle of nowhere... pretty sweet stuff. cd.
Gerritt Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 do I ever have stories about Rogers demo lines.... just be prepared... trust me I know... I went through it... Gerritt.
