Bell and Virgin already has this, without the GRRF, and is available on ALL blackberries (including the 9900/9810)

Exactly. And Bell’s costs $40 and includes 200 mins. Not helping drive the prices down Rogers. You’re going the wrong way!

Spoke to a friend of mine in the UK last week, 3 year contracts basically don’t exist. The government’s been encouraging 1 year but most of the deals are on 18 month contracts. We’re already decades behind Europe, how much further must we slip back into the stone ages before we realise we’re getting majorly screwed???

And you can get almost every phone free on the contract and their plans are massive like thousands of minutes and texts as well as unlimited (win like) data

Jonsey wind has a new tab thats like a 3 year. Even at 2 years you still have to pay back a huge part of the remaining portion. Just like a contract you have to pay off the phone.

Who mentioned Wind?
But while we’re on the subject, I don’t see how a contract and a tab compare except they’re laid out over a certain period of time.
The WindTab gives you between $150-$400 off the cost of a phone, a contract does not.
The WindTab doesn’t charge interest on the balance, in a contract the interest has already been calculated.
You can bail on a WindTab with no penalty. In a contract you’d have to pay off the balance of the phone, the balance of the plan PLUS termination fees that add up to the hundreds.
With the WindTab your balance is paid off by Wind after 3 years. As payments are only about $3-$4 per month this is entirely likely to happen, saving a possible 4 years of payments. All of this interest free.
So, call it a contract if you will. Other than a time stipulation, I see no comparison what so ever.

An 18 month plan there is comparible in cost to a 3 year one here. The extended amortised cost is significantly lower in the UK than here. As for phone selection, not only are there more phones avilable, there are phones we can only dream of having here and more versions of those same phones.
So yeah, we have it good here, huh?
I lived in the UK for 21 years and go back regularly, at least twice a year and often check out the deals as I always use a local SIM. I was just looking at carrier’s site as I’ve decided to use a local phone from now on too. The selection is amazing. And all unlocked too!

They should check your IQ. How do you compare EU unemployment with Canada, and then UK density with Canada?

@niceguy I payed full price for my BlackBerry Bold 9900, but guess what, I still need to sign a 3 year deal to get the 6gb data plan, or other good promotions. Our neighbors to the south have 2 year plans that offer a lot more than we get. I’m not asking for a revolution, I’m just asking for some fair prices. Same goes for our internet connections.

I am sorry but that wasn’t a very smart move, considering both Bell and Telus have that 6gb for $30 add on available on no term contracts and if I remember the picture of the promo from Rogers it also stated something about no term month to month users. Robbers strikes again…….this time on you!!!!!

That is correct, it does not, it’s a blackberry social plan; not a blackberry email plan. Sadly, there is a difference.

I wonder when Rogers is going to realize that plans with time and usage restrictions are on their way out…
Wake up Rogers, and offer something decent. And yes, profits will be lost, but seeing as your profits have been made from years of inflated prices, it should come as no surprise….

The only provider that is moving toward the right direction in Canada is Fido. At least they offer unlimited for a fair price without compromising the quality of services and network. They also give you some extras like Fido Dollars. They try to improve their service with FidoANSWERS and give you more savings when you can trade-in your used phone.
