Late last month, Bell launched a promo in Quebec, offering its $65/month Share Plan with 10GB for BYOD, or $70 per month with the Canada-wide calling option.
Fast forward to March, and now Rogers and Telus have matched Bell’s plan in Quebec, by also discounting their premium shareable plans.
The simultaneous price match by the ‘Big 3’ is most likely a response to regional carrier Videotron, which is currently offering double the data on its Premium plans, with a 10GB plan priced at $63.95.
Quebec (along with Manitoba and Saskatchewan) gets all the fun, as recently Koodo also debuted promos in the province, with BYOD plans at $49/6GB and $56/8GB.
If you’re on share plan with Rogers, Telus or Bell, call in to make the change to this plan if it’ll work out better for you.

Took them long enough…
Gary We are left out again from all the fun.????
After hearing about the Videotron plan, I switched from Telus. I had the Telus $63/mo w/ 6GB data (yeah, I had to talk them down into offering me the same plan they offer Joe Blow off the street, even after 12 years with them). They weren’t willing to negotiate, so I switched to Videotron. I now pay $51/mo for 8GB data (bundled services w/ Videotron cut it down from $56/mo). I’m happy to see some competition. I hope this starts happening throughout all of Canada so everyone can benefit.
Same for me; after I heard about Videotron, I switched (from an older Fido 3GB promo plan). I’m in Ottawa, so I am able to get Videotron. I was paying a total of $122/month for two phones (incl. tax), but now paying a total of $99/month for the two phones (incl tax). I am saving $23/month and getting double the data. I echo the comment that I hope rates become more competitive throughout Canada and not just by province.
Same for me with Telus. After 10 years with them, I tried to negotiate to match the $51,30/7GB (after the 10% reduction for Desjardins) promo with Rogers, they refuse to even reduce my bill for 5-10$ (I had the $65/8GB plan) and now I see that they finally have some decent promo…Oh well..I’m happy with Rogers so far. VoLTE in Montreal worth the switch and save $16 per month.
Oh the tricks I would turn for that 16gb plan for $95
I hate seeing these posts and getting excited only to see it’s for Quebec, or anywhere else that I don’t live. Is anyone ever been able to get them to offer these outside of the province without trying to trick them?
….and they wonder why people try to get plans from one province while living in another.
But then selling MTS was still a good decision? If videotron didn’t exist Quebec wouldn’t be getting these plans.
what about Ontario? are we that stupid?
