backtracedit Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Do you guys know of any perks cell-phone-plan-wise? I'm in the market and a lot of the regular deals are total bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koft Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 It depends..... Are you currently with a carrier under contract? If you are looking for new contract, i think as long as you have a hospital id, there are EPP available. You have to search it out yourself the details. ________ Bubbler pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backtracedit Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I'm debating buying a phone outright for use with any carrier and am going into school in the fall so I've yet to get any i.d. The alternative is to sign up for a 3 year contract if the price is right just to get a cheaper phone. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannn Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/07/30/telus-to-release-new-40-student-plan/ -This plan looks good Also look at Chatr's offerings and Wind Mobile if they are in your area (but I would go with Wind, because Chatr is evil ) If you work at a hospital right now in Ontario, you can get the following (which I have) from Rogers: 250 anytime minutes 250 incoming minutes per second billing unlimited evenings/weekends at 6 caller ID voicemail call forwarding 125 outgoing text messages unlimited incoming text messages For $22.60 all in per month If you add $30 + tax to that amount, you get 6gb of data with any smartphone (including the iPhone 4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigM Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'm curious as to how you guys are affiliated with the hospital. I see that shannn is a 2014 so I'm somewhat suprised to see that you are on a hospital plan. I'm going into 1st year at UWO, does that mean that I can say I'm affiliated with LHSC?

nemesis Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Unlikely, the above poster probably worked in the hospital setting prior to gaining admission to medical school...

koft Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 You have to have a hospital id... beside each hospital will show up diff type of corporate discount on bell system. poster might have worked in the lab, or summer job etc. Or the parents are part of an organization that have corporate deals with bell / rogers / telus. ________ New Jersey Medical Marijuana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shannn Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 any such plan at UHN ? I dont know where to look. The corporate intranet (under HR --> group benefits/discounts --> technology section), you'll find the Rogers and Bell plans Pretty decent plans (although not the best out there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shannn Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Every provider has a retentions dept that you can negotiate awesome deals with, don't threaten to cancel (since they might call your bluff) but say you're frustrated and want to change providers and what could they offer to make you stay. My plan: My10 local 100 daytime mins 1000 Evenings+Weekends (@6pm) 500 incoming 2500 texts =$25 Then I have 1000 canadian LD minutes ($10 - $10 credit) and $10 value pack (Call ID, VM, 2500 picture/video/texts), again w/ $10 credit. so $25+SAF+taxes = ~$37/mth. The guy also offered a new smartphone at the 3-year contract price (I'm 22 months in) and $10 credit for the $30/6Gb plan, which if I accepted would be $60/mth, taxes in now I'm waiting for an iphone as well... That's a really good plan But you should fight to get the SAF and 911 fees taken off I just want to add 1000LD to my plan and I'll be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
