With the 6GB/$30 plan ending next month on February 6th, Rogers has launched a new ‘Unlimited Value’ plan they think will make the perfect pairing for customers as ‘a perfect way to start 2012’.
For $34.75/month, users will get all the following ‘unlimited value’:
– Unlimited My10 Canada-wide
– Unlimited SMS/MMS
– 6pm evenings and weekends
– 200 daytime minutes
– Contract or monthly terms; $35 activation fee waived
Rogers notes pairing this with the $30/6GB data plan brings the total to $64.75 monthly, an apparent $8 savings compared to their current $72.75 MY10 Promo Plan. The plan does not include caller ID or voicemail, and when totalled it appears to be really close to the existing Telus and Bell $70 promo plans. You might be better off negotiating a deal with the Retentions Department if you can.

How can they call this ‘unlimited value’ when you’re going to get charged some 8-10 bux for caller ID and voice mail on top?
Don’t forget the GRRF, too. 😉
They now advertise their plans with that fee included in the price.
Ah, okay now I see it in the fine print. I saw the GRRF on my bill recently, still an old plan.
Not sure if they changed it or not, but Telus and Bell’s $70 plan does not include caller ID, plus you have to add system fee on top of it, so it will be about $85 before tax. You can probably get the caller ID for free if you “ask” for it.
Compare the plans between those people I know, I think the lowest plan is Fido with the city fido plan plus 6GB/$30 data. One of my friends got the whole thing plus called ID for $54. That’s what she claimed but I don’t really know how she got it. It was a new activation.
If you can do without My10, there is a $17 retention plan that consists of 200 mins, 6PM E/W, unlimited SMS. Looks like they are charging an extra $17 just for My10.
Can you get this if you are already a customer with Rogers? If yes then would you need to extend your contract?
I believe you can switch plans in the middle of the contract but it will be considered a renewal.
still feel like an “ultamite rip-off” too me…
This post says monthly terms. Does that mean no contract? Can I get a good data plan with no contract?
I’m being told nearly $120 per phone for a similar set of specs with no contract, by my local Rogers dealer.
I didn’t buy unlocked phones to turn around and sign a contract.
/can’t wait to leave Rogers.
Yes no contract. Best to call and inquire too.
Looks like card shuffling by cell company sharks. Best I could get so far NA call and text, 6gb and voice+Ca.Id for $70 Fido. But the haggling I had to do over last few months… Felt like a Turkish marketplace!!
Holy shit… Whose payin for groceries?
that is the plan.
Looks like Rogers might not want to sell the 6GB for $30 anymore, I just called and they said it expired on November 11th. Has anyone tried talking to Rogers for this deal? I’m in Ontario if that even makes a difference.
i just got the 6 gig now ?
Rogers are ass holes though!
all i got to say is $17.50 Insider EPP + old $15 iPhone Value Pack + $30/6gb….. 😉
that’s not even that good
i’m getting
$17.50 + $10 value plan + 30 gb and an additional -$10 monthly credit.
If you’re currently a Rogers customer, you can negotiate (gotta push a little) unlimited talk, unlimited international text, voicemail, call display and 6Gig data for $73 plus taxes. In order to qualify as Rogers customer, you’ll have to be with them for at least 3 months.
oh just so u guys know, there is no contract on the phone
