I think the offers for cell plans in Canada are archaic and we are truly getting ripped off … I was told I’d have to wait another month to get a discount on the third phone …. are you kidding me … they are chancing me walking to another company over a 49 dollar Rumour a month early …. anther supplier offered me a second for free ….bizzare … I think there is an opportunity for an independant consultant to enter the picture to perform a customer needs analysis (for a minor one time up front fee) and find the best plan and supplier to fit each persons needs …. watch the bidding wars begin with the big three when someone starts to outsource these needs analysis details …. I would bet your minor fee would come back to you in spades !!!!

Canadian companies Bell,Roger (robbers) are the most expensive and worst in the world. 3 years contracts and over priced plans to a point that doesn’t exist anywhere in the world I simply believe the government’s hand is in it they pay them probably at the end the poor consumer gets ripped off hugely. non of they give a damn about the customer one bit. after they force to a contract they treat you like a slave. any complaints you have won’t go anywhere. Bell is worst than rogers (robbers) and rogers is worst than them. as mentioned Bell charges some crazy unheard of prices then they lock you up for 3 F@$&ing years with a phone useless phone that cannot be used anywhere with a huge cost. there is so much to say about these criminals it doesn’t have an end. just forget it i’m sure its going to be the same crap higher prices more roles against the consumer. I’ve traveled around the world I’ve never seen anything like Canadian cell companies its just crazy. i’m not optimistic about it at all

Unlike GSM, HSPA handsets from Telus and Bell will remain unlockable chip within. That mean, of your phone busted within contract period, you’ve on your own. In the event you want to change phone, your phone will become junk, because hardly anyone will buy it from you. That creates lots of extra electronic junks, environmental concern is a waste. About coverage, although there will become 4G lite, but the true bands will be 900 and 1800 on top of the existing bands.
It’ll remain a problem in door with thick concrete basement, continue drop calls and weak signal problems. I think CFTC should allow more providers into business easily in GSM area, so Rogers will encounter real threat and provide more flexible plans and improve customer services.

I think this is great news and would only increase our leading
