Upgrade?

**evolution75** · 07-24-2009, 06:12 PM

I'm wondering how I can get my wife a free upgrade or really really cheap to a Blackberry (not a flip) need her off my Bold lol. She has been with Rogers for at least 15 years. She only had this phone contract for 1 1/2 years. Thanks for the help in advance.

I talked to a manager at a local T-Mobile store and after a while, he ended up giving me an upgrade from my Flip (Flop) to a G1...at no cost with only 9 months on my 2-year contract!

Just go and talk them, it couldn't hurt.

Hello Fellow HRM'er

I recently upgraded just my phone to a bb, and got a pearl for next to nothing, 'admin fee = $35'. If your wife has been with them for 15 years that will have an impact. As bbbob said, go talk to them, I doubt you'll get a curve/bold really cheap (but u should definitely try!), but pearls are pretty easyto get cheap. If they don't play nice a tthe store, call the 888 # and VERY NICELY explain your situation, if they don't help, try to get to retentions and they will probably help you out...
cheers

This is Rogers, not T-mobile.... lol.... the pearl is probably the option they'll give you as far a a cheap BlackBerry. Unfortunately our Canadian carriers aren't as nice as the US carriers.
