I'm with Telus and have a Storm. The plan below if for two Blackberries (mine and my husband's). We're on the Share 30, and we've also included:

Unlimited incoming
Unlimited text
Unlimited email
Unlimited IM
Unlimited data
Free evenings and weekends
Free Telus to Telus
350 combined daytime minutes
Business Bundle 7 (includes voicemail 7, caller ID, conference call etc).

We pay $120.00 a month, all in (taxes, network and access etc.), so...$60 each. And each of our jobs pick up that tab, to boot. So really...we pay nothing.

The reason that we pay more than Americans (generally), is simple geography. The physical network has to be a similar size, but we have a tenth of the population to pay for it.

[remps]

BTW, I have sweet deals 25, 250 SMS, caller I'd, vmail, unlimited Telus-telus, 500 MB web and email, evening and weekends at 6, and 100 long distance minutes for under 50 bucks. You just have to ask for it.

You are absolutely right! I think we should raise a petition, because these carrier rates are ridiculous.

I have a pretty good plan with Telus, however, in the US they have amazing rates.

350 minutes x 2 = 700 day time minutes.

The data plan has that? are you sure? Cuz i called L&R when I went up to my Tour and they said the $20 data plan is just IM,Email, Browsing...I was offered the $25 unlimited loyalty data plan as well but i turned that down lol maybe I shuda taken it cuz i heard thats not offered anymore?

ps. Those clear price plans are a JOKE..its cheaper for me 2 keep my fees since theres no plan like that on the "better" network...LAMES

CDMA til they shut that signal down in a couple years haha

Are you serious?! Damn did I get played? Shieeeeeeeet...I better call up trusty L&R see what the deal is


*update* I just called them & they said that the bundle is now "expired" & all the offer is the new bundles I should have probably expected that lameness...Telus is rly sticking it to their older clients SMH

I've been a Telus customer for a couple years, but I ended up pushing my contract over to someone else because I could afford it, and moved over to Koodo for a couple months with a super cheap phone.

Anyway, I just called up the L&R department today and said since I'm a valued customer and have never been on a late bill before, I want to come back...is there anything you can do for me with a new blackberry.

The guy I talked to said I had to at least make the $50.00 smartphone base for the next 12 months and then afterwords I would be able to call back with a negotiation.

I use about 200 or less minutes overall. They're mostly used on the weekend anyway, and all my friends that I usually text have blackberries; making BBM is sufficient.

We talked it over and here's what he was able to give me:
$50.00:
250 daytime minutes
Unlimited E/W - 9pm
Choice: My5 Nationwide or Double minutes or Unlimited Text
500 MB data
Voice Mail 3, Call Waiting, Conference Calling
Caller ID
PERKS
No System Access Fees or 911's

$3.00:
30 Text Msgs & Free incoming

Total: $53.00 + 13% tax (NS) = $59.89

Basically it's looking like the exact same plan as the Smartphone 50, the only thing is that they're giving me Caller ID for free. Is it worth it?
