Bell promos seem off a few years… say from 2005
Check out TELUS and Rogers promos now and you’ll find yourself a good deal. The Hero for $49.99, Bold 9000 in White for $0.99, even the LG Eve for under a buck. Something tells me that Bell is wondering how they afford those prices.
Not to be so blunt but the current Bell promotions that last until the end of the year are honestly nothing special. These “amazing” phones are not amazingly priced. You can get a Pre for $99.95 on a 3-year, couple year old Curve 8330 for $49.95 and even a device that should have been priced at $0.00 to start with is still $29.95.
Perhaps it’s me, but these don’t get me rushing in… how about you?

Sounds exactly like Bell. Always seems like Bell is years behind Rogers and Telus (whom are years behind the rest of the world). Sad place Canada is for wireless.

Stop promoting and publicising 3-year contract prices, which are not real prices but merely large subsidies to trick into you locking in for a long jail sentence. List only contract-free or 1- or 2-year prices, since nowhere else in the world are 3-year contracts even legal.

@midtoad: 36 month contrat aren’t illegal elsewhere. Several market have them. But most of these market all have cancellation clause for major cause that are legitimate, including death of the party, unemployment, moving out of the coverage area, etc. That’s *by law* and something Canadian miss.
Also the carrier subsidy for the handset is a trick. Rogers force you renew a contract so you can get the “same price” when you change you phone number (after moving), or they ask you to pay *MORE*. There is no phone purchase involved in that scam. If it was really to subsidise phone the you would pay LESS if you don’t buy a phone, and wouldn’t need to get a contract for the 33% discount that want to make for you to sign up.
If they can afford to give you a 649.99$ phone for 0.99$, then you should be able to get the same deal with a 649$ rebate and no phone.

I paid 400 to get out of my bell contract. I was halfway through it and they charged me 20 dollars for every month. I switched to virgin and bought a new phone and after paying bell, I still saved 90 dollars because of the bloodsuckers bell. If you switch you will probably save money too.
