Help with Bell Plans

[mattc206]

Hey Ya'll, just wondering if their is any way I can change my Bell plan around, I currently pay $137.40 with taxes a month for:

Fab 10 - BBerry 50 - 36M Includes: 3 Way Calling Call Waiting 50.00
Data Bundle 150 $15.00
Unl Email & Internet Bberry $0.00
Sys Access Fee $6.95, 911 Fee $0.75 7.70
Fab Ten - calling and text 0.00
Msg Ctr Express & Call Display Bundle 10.00
$GSM Card - International Service $0.00
Text Messaging 2500 sent $10.00
Unltd Canada to Canada LD $30.00

So without taxes its 122.70 a month, most of my calls are Canadian long distance to about 20 numbers nation wide, but that will increase next month with the new job, I do very little local calling at this time, mostly long distance, lots of Data/email as well as texts to about 30 different numbers both sent and received.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Matt

Well, I'd recommend that you stay with what you've got since you have a really good plan already. Bad news is though, that your unlimited long-distance option is about to go up 10 dollars.

Unless you can arrange something with Bell directly, as far as what a sales rep can offer in store, you already have what's best.

You've got a good plan

very similar to mine, I'm paying about 110 for this,
Though My bill is around 167 because of a second back up BB that has a BB 45 Plan with Fab 5, at $45

I've got
300 LD Day time Minutes
Unlimited Bell to Bell Mobile
Unlimited Nights & Week ends Starting at 5
Unlimited Canada to Canada LD.
Unlimited Data.
Unlimited Txt Messaging
Call display, Voice Mail Plus, Call Forwarding

I would ask Bell retentions if they have something similar to Rogers, where I get 1000 Canadian Long Distance minutes for $5 (now $10). That would chop off at least $20/month, assuming it would be sufficient for you to have 1000 LD minutes as opposed to unlimited.

Nights/weekends unlimited (starting at 6pm)
CND long distance unlimited
No access fees/ 911
Call waiting/ 3 way / caller ID and voice mail with voice to txt included
Unlimited txt

$40/ month
500 mb data plan ( more than enough for my usage especially with wifi )

Why are you paying $40/month for 500 MB of data? Unless that's corporate and BES...the price is $25 for 500 MB.

Good question ..... i will give them a call today and look into it.
Thanks

** After speaking with Bell, apparently my data plan includes , unlimited txt, unlimited emails, unlimited IM, unlimited BBM, video conference calling (useless for me) and voicemail including voice to txt. So basically my 500mb is for browsing. Thats the explanation i got along with the $25/500 mb is now $30.

Just so you know that Unlimited incoming calls is restricted to LOCAL for you, I got ROYALLY screwed with that unlimited incoming calls,
I had a nationwide LD plan as I am local 3-7 days a month, I told them what when we were building my new plan, and the girl put on unlimited incoming, cost me over 300 bucks on my bill. because I'm never local, and 90% of my calls are incoming.
