I'm about to call Rogers (Canadian version of AT&T, basically) and renegotiate my plan. Wondering how low a monthly cost I can shoot for.

Whadda you guys pay?

No idea, work pays.

LUCKY!

Yeah. And this year I talked them into upping it to a blackberry, which has been very nice.


I think my wife has some sorta minimum-talk maximum-data plan with VZ for her blackberry which is like $50 a month?

recently changed to AT@T for the iPhone....too much. I was paying about 35 per month with Sprint, now it's over 60 usually...and I don't even fucking use it that often.

Same here. Before that paid $40/month for a pretty basic plan with AT&T.

verizon. i think mine is around $90.

i pay 50 american dollars with tmobile.

Same here.

Ok, just got off the phone with Rogers.

This is what they offered me:

250 anytime mins
Unlimited early evenings & weekends (6pm - 7am)
100 long distance mins
Unlimited nation-wide incoming calls
Call display
Voicemail
Unlimited text messaging
6gb data plan

$50 before tax & System Access Fee

Total: $64.92 a month

+

16gb iphone 3Gs for $199 and they'll waive the $35 activation fee

He said this plan would normally cost $145.29 a month ($120 + taxes and system access fee) for a new customer.

I guess it's not bad, but I wanted to be paying something like $40 a month.

i pay with my mouth

Just ask your friends to chip in if they talk to you for too long.

about seventy dollars

me too because I pay for all the unnecessary stupid shit. Next upgrade, I am gonna downgrade to just a phone that takes calls and gets texts. haha

My Blackberry plan with Rogers:

BB MV Combo $45 My5 plan
6PM early evening option
Communicate value pack

Works out to about $65 a month, plus long distance, plus roaming or US add-on, plus US texting, I'm usually up to $200 a month.

Fuck Ted Rogers, or whatever his name is.

It's really called Rogers?



There's something heart-warming and Canadian about that.

ill tell you what thats a pretty good deal for the iphone plan, our two phones have the lowest family plan and our cell phone bill is about 160 together i think

I do not have a cell phone.

mine's Verizon for about $90, but that's for two phones. I just cut a bunch of minutes and texts because I never really use them.

I gotta save up for the ball cancer I'm gonna get later from carrying this dumb thing around all the time.

about $60, on T-Mo USA, 400 Texts, 1000 anytime minutes, Unlimited nights & weekends, Data plan

Now, see? That's what I'm talking about.

$75 with t-mobile and the blackberry plan and messaging.

Take it. I'm paying $85 a month for about the same package. I guess I should've haggled, but I was just glad to finally get an iPhone after searching for over a month.

Better pray you don't get trapped in a yellow Pinto that won't crank with Cujo right outside.
