Rogers :-(

I was paying about $600-700 a month for mobile with Rogers. Most of that was data and long distance, roaming charges and overages as I use it a lot for work

I bought a Blackberry from them 14 months ago - Unfortunatly I have to use a blackberry - and the thing died. Rogers want $800 to replace it.

I ended up going to verizon and got their us and Canada plan with 5gb data and 1000 minutes anywhere in Canada or the us for $100. No roaming charges and a free BB Torch

I also have a three year contract with Rogers so I reduced that to a basic $25 a month plan and gave the sim to my kid.

So I've been paying around $150 combined instead of the 700 I was paying before. The only problem is that I now have a US number but that's actually a benefit for work.

It may not be for everyone but next time your contract comes up for renewal, check out the US carriers as well. it saved me around $400 a month.

Have you looked into wind mobile?
If your in the GTA area most of the time they have Unlimited minutes, data and long distance for like $30-$40/month when you are in their coverage zone (Which is most of Toronto)

DO NOT DEAL WITH ROGERS EVER.
worst company I have ever dealt with. Horrible customer service, everyone I know that has dealt with them has bad things to say.
Im with telus and it's always been great.

Thats very strange. I phoned Rogers to see what they could do and i checked again with them this morning.

The best they can offer for $80 is 300 mins voice in north america with restrictions + another $69 for some data.

It comes to $149 and I get way more voice and data + a line for my son for that going the Verizon route for $150.

Please send me a the link on their web site for $80 all you can eat in north america. I'll call the buggers back.

mobilicity, $31.07 a month incl. HST, unlimited data, unlimited NA calling anytime, unlimited global txt in their "zones", 10c a minute roaming if prepaid (which is practically never for me), 2c a minute int'l calls if prepaid (china/hk/europe. some countries cost a little more, but the only other one I call is brazil).

signal is a little weak sometimes, but hell you get what you pay for. I'll never use the big carriers again.
