I’m loving this. Contract with Rogers is up in Feb and excited to switch to Wind. Looks like more incentive for Wind to extend their “holiday” offers.

DON’t SWITCH FROM ROGERS TO WIND. And to anyone else out there saying Rogers can’t compete with WIND. There;s a reason, WIND’s coverage is absolute s**t. Their online coverage map isn’t updated. I’m currently on WIN looking to switch to the MY10 plan on Rogers. I got no service in Tsawwassen, according to what I was told when I signed up they were supposed to have service in Tsawwassen up and running by December 2010, been more than a year and still no service… and half the time when I’m inside my own house in the middle of their coverage area my signal drops. Not to mention that in the last week people on the other side of my phone calls haven’t been able to hear me.Yes the rates on WIND and Mobilicity are much cheaper, but that’s because of their SHIT service. My advice, DON’T SWITCH.

Not that I want to defend Rogers, but I do believe it IS unlimited in/out for your 10 numbers, and long distance charges do not apply even if you’re out of your local area. That doesn’t mean it’s comparable to unlimited though…

So, let me guess… This is Rogers best reaction to all the hypes around!
Are you kidding? 3 years term, of course this regulatory fee, no data, no call display, no VM, a tiny 150 minutes and I am limited to only have 10 people I can talk to… With Wind or Mobi, $40 will do the magic!
Keeping coming up with this horrible plan, Rogers and 2012 will be the end of you before good!

rogers is going to have to come out with a better plan,, the public is seeing that now,,,
if they dont,, it will be a slow but steady stream of people leaving as contracts are up,,,
so its obvious with large number of subscribers they should be able to offer lower pricing and still make a healthy profit,,
so rogers quit chasing your tail and be the lead dog,,

I’m just throwing it out there, but the Rogers retentions dept. has a $50 Unlimited daytime minutes/North America wide calling plan they are offering in cancellation situations. I’m not defending Rogers in any way, but if you’re tied into a long contract, it may be worth the call. That combined with the $30 6GB plan and a free (comp) $12vp is a pretty killer deal.

I won’t call Rogers.
Frankly, if they are serious about the customers, they should proactively contact the customers instead of we calling them. They will simply let you stay on the same plan and continue to gouge you and the next thing you notice, you have a hole in your pocket burned by them. They will never learn their lesson and their senior managements are super tunnel vision that don’t plan to work at Rogers from a long term prospective, they only see short term $$ in their eyes ie bonus, stock options etc. Leave Rogers, this is the only way that this industry can be changed in this country.

I understand exactly where you are coming from, but the reality of the situation is that many people are outside of the WIND/MOBILICITY footprint (myself included), or don’t have the financial freedom to dump $500 on ECF fees and then purchase an unsubsidized handset. Sure in a perfect world, we’d all cancel and join the good guys, but it isn’t. My above comment was merely to help those who are in my situation as a screwed over Rogers customer.

@Rogers’ Guy.
Who’s charging those ECFs Wind? Mobilicity? Public?
As you know the answer is Rogers, Bell & Telus.
So if you’re so concerned about the financial concerns of Canada’s mobile users, I suggest it’s about time you killed these and other usury charges.

This is very sad, still after a year since wind launched and mobilicity launched as well rogers still won’t compete properly. They are pitiful first they launched another brand called chatr which broke competition rules, then made false advertisement ads which they got fined $10 million then now they are making misleading claims against mobilicity which they will probably be fined another $10 million soon, even with all this competition out there, they still don’t get it, their stubborn a holes. Giving out pitiful promos which are no where close to competing for real is a joke. Rogers wake up and realize your promos aren’t anywhere to offer value. Come out with plans that are compared to wind and mobilicity now that would be competing, and close your pitiful brand chatr and compete with your brands you have now with rogers, and fido. Smart people are realizing the true value with Wind and mobilicity and will never go with rogers cause there’s no value there.

Rogers is very very aggressive lately.
I switched from Rogers to Telus right before Xmas because Rogers is giving me a hard time.
The retention department refuse to give me any discount/promo plan after I told them I will switch. (I’m not asking for some crazy plan. I just want what the new subscriber get. and I’m virtually a new subscribe as I only had 2 months left)
Rogers should have started these promotions and treat the current subscriber better in the start. Not coming out with all these amazing plans AFTER people left.
just me 2 cents.

@jarr …. but you also have
1) poor selection of devices
2) unsubsidized
3) lower coverage
rogers still the big winner.
1) Incorrect. You are free to bring your own phone to Wind and Mobilicity, such as the Google Nexus S. Also don’t forget both companies are adding new BBs in the near future.
2) Incorrect again. Wind offers WindTab if you buy a from phone from them.
3) Coverage is always expanding, both of these companies are just barely 1 year old and Robelus have had decades to build their network. Give them some time, their network will be large enough for most people.

Actually about 15% of the Canadian population lives in the GTA, and about another 10%+ live in the other cities that Mobi/Wind cover, so really about 1 in 4 Canadians currently have access to better choices! So you’re not alone!

After being with Rogers for 13 years, I paid the $400 to ditch them and I have never been happier.
They should be contacting their customers and giving them decent plans instead of people having to call and threaten to leave. What a messed up system that is.
I am spreading the word to everyone I meet about how great things are in a competitive market and that they have decent options if they leave Rogers or Bell.
Rogers is trying to compete but by doing so, they are showing how out of step they are with the market.

This plan sounds great to me…after the hell wind put me through…
Check this, I got a new phone from Wind at Xmas, and it was defective when it came out of the box. I took it to the point of purchase where the rep was talking to his gang of friends while half listening to what I was saying. He then told me that it was my problem, and I’d have to buy a new phone…refusing to give me my money back. I asked to speak to a manager, and he told me it wasn’t going to happen. They treated me like a joke in that store, and the whole time his friends were calling me rascist names (I’m Asian)and laughing at me. So, I decided to call customer service and explain my situation, and after being put on hold for 15 minutes, the rep told me had had no idea what to do. So now, I’ve got no phone, and my grandparents are out 450$ for a Christmas gift that didn’t work (that’s a lot of money for them too!).
Forget Wind. Worst company ever. The only thing really unlimited is their horrific way of treating people.

30% you say Chalk, I believe it is more like 60% Orescom investment in wind. That is why the CRTC got involved. If Orescom only had 30% there would have never been a CRTC rejection of wind until Clementina came along and said it was a one time decision.
Please Chalk get some facts straight first before you try to impress us with your knowledge.
I personally do not care about the foreign ownership issue but the facts are the facts.

Wind is crap and nothing about them is acceptable in my opinion,however I doubt if the incident happened like you stated and that simple employees earning minimum wage would act the way they did as it seems like a criminal/Human Right’s issue…so post the location of the store/your name if genuine and go after them by reporting back here.Unless it’s not an actual authorized store I can’t see this happening and if it did even if the CEO is an i***t I would contact him for a reaction.

On that note I agree,if the government is going to allow garbage into the market with the CRTC never changing anything we might as well allow others from the US/Overseas in and hopefully the most reputable companies will succeed…still it may kill the industry.
@micheal:
Like everyone on our side our words do make sense,we have a legit concern against Wind-Orascom and if you can live with that level of corruption just for cheaper rates fine…however it has nothing to do with being unfair and more to do with dishonesty.If you support it or actually honor this garbage the situation will get worse in the future,both our industry and technology will suffer and guys like you will be responsible for what happens which got us in this mess in the first place…the main reason Wind-Orascom should be attacked is so it doesn’t happen again and I’m confident that in time with their record/history they will destroy themselves like in every other market they are in.Hopefully soon and faster out of greed.

I signed on with Wind last week. Service is generally ok but it gets really bad in some buildings. I had no signal at all last week in the mall for example. I went skiing on the weekend and racked up a nice away zone text bill. The phone keeps switching to away zone when im at work even though im a few km away from the home service border. Im thinking about getting this plan from Rogers as I don’t think i call more than 10 people.

To answer your post Bob!
(((you know what JAWG,, I will put my money where it keeps money in my pocket,, wether you like it or not,, maybe these start up companies are not perfect yet,,, but I supported rogers long before they had coverage that they have now,)))
Did I say you can’t or stop you from doing that!
(((Rogers has been screwing us over on pricing for awhile now,, and thats not the worst of it, there customer service has declined to the state of terrible in a quick hurry,,)))
Wrong…the CRTC and government have been screwing you and the Incumbents are simply working in the flawed system that was established where soon all the Newbies will be acting the same way…proof is that Orascom was allowed to blatantly break our foreign ownership laws by allowing them in and Clement the hypocrite actually pushed this along.Can’t wait to see the new Spectrum sale from going on sale in the mess that will cause and why our professional group is warning them.
(((if you are so concerned about foriegn ownership,, where do you shop for anything and what do you buy)))
Don’t get off topic…we’re talking about the Mobile Industry in Canada…not fruits/cars/diapers.
(((JAWG you are the one who rants and raves to the point of pisssn people off, as you believe what you believe and want everyone to believe it (sounds like fanboy to me ))))
I’m not ranting you are and the reason some are pissed off is because they hate the truth and are Fanboys,individuals who don’t have an opinion and are blindly supporting Wind strictly to promote them with lies/insults/personal attacks for lower rates with no emphasis to technology or our future.I don’t care what you or others think of me or my side and if you need support to feel good you have issues.
(((maybe you should learn to say your point with less confritation and less pointing of fingers,,)))
Maybe you should learn to read my opinions with less anger and not support cretins who wish to ban people strictly because they don’t agree with you or you want to silence them not to be heard.
(((I dont know if you can see by now, but if you actually read peoples post, there is alot pissed off with rogers, with good reason,,
there is my bringing to the discussion)))
I know there are a lot of angry individuals and they should be,however they are angry at the wrong people for the wrong reasons and backing Fanboys or corrupt corporations like Orascom is a joke that won’t change anything.So…scream all you want and try to crucify me for telling the truth like the rest in my group…but supporting the ignorance of the Fanboys and Orascom will only kill our Industry faster.
