That's wasting money to join those plans with 3 year contract...
[$57/mo x 36months - $300 (EVO 3D market value)]/36 months = $48.70/mo + tax + system fees. Do you really utiltize the "full" dollar power of that monthly fee of $48.70? I believe a normal user won't need more than $40.
And the worst part is that you are "stickened" to the contract... When you opt out you have to pay for that...
Can't tell Bell is way better than Rogers... For the network in urban/sub-urban area, no big difference... drop calls should be roughly the same between the two.
As far as I know Bell customer service to old customer is sxxks... I really get no clue why Rogers can still have a better customer review than Bell...
My current month fee is $44 (I even have roadside assistant for $5). Of course, there are cheaper alternative these days with those new providers.
Under current Rogers rule, you could do HUP in 30months. This period changed every one a while. For my HUP recently, I'm 20 months in my 3-yr plan only. (I also did HUP 9 months in my plan before.)
I wouldn't say HUP works for everyone, but it isn't necessary bad all the time. Of course do your math and be smart.
