pay as you go lol.
$6/month for texting~
Pretty happy since people rarely call me and convo don't last long.

After hearing that iphone's plan cost $50/month... i am very (truly) happy knowing that i don't have to pay that much per month

[ichoro]

Got an iPhone w/ Rogers
Pay about 67$/ month
Plan includes:
200 anytime minutes
Unlimited evening (starting at 6pm ) and weekends
Unlimited texting
Unlimited MMS
Caller ID
Voicemail
500 Mbs of data

happiness? I'd sayy, 8/10... Wish I had rogers to rogers or unlimited incoming. It's ok, I mostly text anyways about 4000 msgs a month =P

are you sure? I phoned Rogers and they said $25/mo was their cheapest. Add in the system access fee and that's at least $32/mo. Add in voicemail and caller id and you have my plan which is about $50/mo after taxes. So I have no idea how you are getting $20/mo incl taxes, voice mail, caller id, early evenings and system access fee.

It's called a retention plan... When your contract is about to expire rogers will give you a call to renew a 3 year contract with them. They usually try to get you to stay by offering you UNBELIEVABLE plans for a LOW price point. A friend of mine is paying $27 including SAF and taxes for:
250 Anytime Minutes
Unlimited Evenings and Weekends (evening start at 6pm)
2500 Text messages
Unlimited incoming
Unlimited Rogers to Rogers
Caller ID
Voicemail

Of course she negotiated w/ retentions.

I am with T-Mobile, family plan for two phones, 700 minutes (with the usual free nights+weekends) and 1000 texts on one of the phones for about $86 after tax. I'm not satisfied especially since everyone nowadays has a data plan so I'm thinking of switching over to Sprint and attempting to get one of my friends to get me under his account using his old SERO plan but it might not work =T

T-Mobile doesn't seem to have a retention plan because when I called to inquire about my contract (it's up in a week) they didn't seem to make any attempt to offer me a better rate plan.

p.s. I feel so stupid because just as my contract w/ T-Mobile is almost up, I was told that they had a student discount plan which means these few YEARS I was with them I could've gotten at least 15% off my monthly bill. Not that they are expensive but for the mediocre connection, I could've saved some money. So all of you T-Mobile users who didn't know about this like me, and have a university or employee email address, call your rep pronto and see if you qualify!

For that situation they actually will vary from account to account. I remember when I called in asking when my contract expires because I was curious and had forgotten even being on a contract and the guy was just like "oh are you thinking of going to a different carrier or something" and then just started to add free stuff to my account. I guess it just depends on how long you were with the carrier. For me I've been on T-Mobile since VoiceStream. So I've been on VoiceStream/T-Mobile for 10 years now. So the older the account is if you ask them anything about leaving the carrier they pretty much give you everything you want LOL, but I'm not that greedy yet.

T-Mobile US

I'm actually quite peachy with my carrier as there isn't much problems with it and the TMO SIMs wrote quote well with my Docomo mobiles.
