That said, since I will be leaving I do have one question....

Can I just get a data plan with no voice added without getting dinged?

If not, what would be my cheapest option?

You can get a data plan without a voice plan, calls would simply be $1.00 per minute. Any other data plan excluding $15, $25 & $30 promotional plan are eligible for activation without voice plan.

Rogers would be able to offer you, in terms of a business plan, would be the $45 feature plan plus the smartphone value pack with the 6pm option added on. However, the data is not possible as at my level, 1GB of BES data is $100.

$45 + $7 6PM option + $15 smartphone value pack
450 minutes
Unlimited Incoming Local Calls
Evenings and Weekends at 6pm
Call Display
Enhanced Voicemail
2500 text messages

Which company do you work for? Perhaps Rogers has a plan on file that I can look into. PM me if you are uncomfortable disclosing employment information.

did the plan above include data?

i ended up calling rogers on monday because i needed to get my bb working for work. here is what they gave me:

-250 min wkday
-free after 6pm
-CD
-VM
-Unlimited Texts
$25

+ $40 for 7MB DATA (BES)


For the wireless portion i got it for $25 before SAF/911/TAX. Because they can't discount data i just included the $40 data plan (7mb for BES). So in summary, i got everything above for $65 before all the taxes or $81.86 tax and fees in. Not the greatest plan by anymeans but im happy with what i got, especially the wireless portion. But if the plan you mentioned above included any data on the BES network, i got screwed

sounds good, a retention plan is what you got. Not a bad plan by any means, similar to corporate plans without hardware discounts. Good job!

Matthew, wasn't there a company wide conference call today at rogers? I believe I read somewhere, and that it might actually shed light to the release date.

Cheer.

Please tell us your location and what dealership you work for.

My name is Matthew. I work out of Toronto for Mobile Wireless.

You do know this is against the Business Code of Conduct right?... Or, are third-party dealers exempt from policies..

So I supposed Rogers reps doing the same thing on HowardForums would be guilty of the same thing if what you're saying is correct.

I have a rogers question, but not necessarily a blackberry question.


Is there any truth to the rumor that Rogers is going to increase their SAF?

Also, If Bell/Telus get away with charging for incoming text messaging, will Rogers jump on the bandwagon too?

Really good questions. Unfortunately, Rogers Reps are not at liberty to answer those questions, nor really do I know the answer to them.

thanks for your input!

Call AT&T and ask for the unlock code. I did and they gave it to me over the phone, no cost and I am not an AT&T subscriber. Unlike Rogers, they will give them out.

does rogers limit the ability for wifi on wifi capable mobiles?

WiFi has nothing to do with Rogers. Especially in terms of hardware, Rogers has no real control over it. If the phone is WiFi enabled, then WiFi is dependent on the connection to the Wireless Router.

You should check out the website, under Blackberry Voice and Email plan, though I'm not sure you can get it without the actual data plan included :S

To be realistic with you, we don't make a measure of what we think the BEST voice plan would be for you because you could use more or you could use less. How many minutes do you realistically see yourself using each month and what features are important to you?

If I told you the $25 Mega Time plan was the best but you always managed to go over since you called a lot of people out of the Rogers Network, it's really my fault for not having put you onto a MY5 plan or something.

The 6GB data plan, however, is the best you can get until August 31st!
