Rogers new Cell plans - what a joke

It's good that they're finally offering unlimited calling and texting, but WTF is up with that pricing? And I love how they've eliminated the 1 or 2 year contract options for the "Talk, Text and Internet" plans - you've got to be monthly, or on a 3 year term.

Yeah, it's not really worth buying any contract phones now.

But this is what people wanted. No one understands ECF's, so now those of us who understand the word "subsidized" are going to get it.

I am hoping that the BB10 is a good device, and that they'll be with Wind Mobile, because it will be like "Rogers, c-ya later!"

Those numbers mean nothing, it's all about getting a deal.

These prices are insane. And still none include basic Caller ID... What a joke...

Not everyone cares for voicemail, but I'm sure everyone wants Caller ID to see who's calling them.

Caller ID should be included in every cell plan. Who the hell wants to see "Unknown" every time someone calls? The worst part is it costs like 7 or 8 bucks to add it.

Caller ID is a free service/add-on in Asia/Middle East...

I mean, in this day & age, its retarded really that its not included as a basic feature.

Just a pure example of profiteering.

Caller ID is included in the US with all wireless carriers.

Why does this surprise anyone? Canadian cell companies only see consumers as cash cows to milk dry. I don't have a cell, and at these prices and terms, I certainly have no plans to get one anytime soon.

Re: Rogers new Cell plans - what a joke

When Rogers says "Unlimited Messaging", does it mean pix too?

Wow, my plan charged me something like 3$ a pic after the first 5 or so. Thank god for iMessages, I don't bother sending pix/video to Blackberry/Android contacts. LOL

The new plans are live on the Rogers website, if you want details straight from them rather than from blurry photos.

Looks like Bell and Telus are jumping on the bandwagon:

»mobilesyrup.com/2012/11/07/bell-···55month/

»mobilesyrup.com/2012/11/07/telus···le-data/

Bell's are about the same as Rogers', but with 10 hours of Mobile TV.

Telus' cost $5 more, but come with VM and Caller ID instead of it being an extra like with Rogers and Bell (also family calling, call waiting and conference calling).

Sure but AT&T likes to charge $20 a month for unlimited text messaging. Aside from the two year contracts, American offerings from the big carriers are pretty much on par with what we have in Canada now.

Call waiting and conference calling are also standard features on Bell and Rogers.

True, but the big ones are still call display and voicemail.

Rogers wouldn't auto-upgrade me on those free Messages deal, eh? LOL Meaning, I could start sending pix and video to people on Blackberries via text and not be charge for going over my allotted 5 or whatever it is, maybe 10. I don't see why not, every plan now has Unlimited Messages from what I see. Currently, I'm on the 6 Gig for 30$ plan + the smallest phone package you can have. I don't use my iP5 as a phone, maybe 40 seconds a month on air, I use it as a computer.
