Called Bell tonight and asked them about where can I purchase one since I already own Bell 3GS and needed one for my wife. Basically he created a shared plan and will move my wife's Rogers number to my Bell account, so when I pick up the iPhone 4 on Friday morning all will be done and phone will be ready, just pay for it in store. He offered to bill to my account and have it shipped next week, I declined that option, will pick up instead. In the end I got the prices and confirmation number along with employee name and number. That's all folks! The plans are same as existing plans.
Got a tip for us?

Your gonna be out of luck Im pretty sure all initial shipments of the iPhone 4 were sold out
you'll end up getting it in end of August of September
Yeah it is, because they can change sims at will.
Plus, the resale value on factory-unlocked phones will almost certainly be higher than carrier-locked or jailbreak/hack unlocked phones.
There might be some retailers which will gradually bring out their iPhone 4 stock and hold some back for days and week to come. So possibly, you might be able to find one. Just takes a bit of calling around and visiting the stores.
Not all stores will tell you "IPHONE 4, WE HAVE IPHONE 4!" so it is best to actually go check the store out...
See this is what gets me with the HUP/upgrading thing.
Do you get to keep your same plan but just renew it? or do you have to pick a new plan... cus i know bell has rumored to have the 6gb plan and if they do rogers probably will aswell but on my contact it says
So that makes me think that come 2011 i cant get that anymore, nothing else on my contract has that beside it...

(assuming this is the price for people who upgrade to 3GS last year) $699/$799 on a 3 year term
why would anyone in the right mind buy that when you can go to apple store and get one unlocked w/o committing to the 3 year deal for possibly cheaper or the same price....they have to lower that price if it is for the 3GS usersEDIT: wait do the fido dollars mean some sort of credit? so it is full price then you get some sort of credit on your account and not to your credit card. sorry not to familiar with FIDO, rogers just gave $250/$500 discounts last year, im assuming its something like that
Everything you need to know about FidoDollars:
http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/FidoRewards
It is more or less a credit towards phone purchase, plan addons, or pre-paid airtime. Most save it for phone purchases.

I am insanely frustrated with Rogers right now. My girlfriend is the account holder and called them to talk about a new plan as our contract expires August 3rd or something. The lady offered us this:
250 daytime min
unlimited evening and weekend 6pm
My5
2500 txt outgoing/unlimited incoming
voicemail, call display, name display
unlimited incoming calls
500MB Data
$36 + (taxes)
My girlfriend said she wasn't sure so the lady said she'd put a note on our account so we could take it whenever we wanted it. I tell my girlfriend it's a good deal and to take it and EVERY CSR denies us trying to give us the normal public package. I wouldn't care if they didn't already offer us a goddamn package.
*sigh* Frustrating!
Anyways, my other line is all set to upgrade to the new iPhone.

It's not your fault but that first CSR your GF talked to was simply BSing her. What would have happened was your GF would have thought, what a great deal (if she had taken it right away). Then the bill would have come for some completely different, $70 plan.I am insanely frustrated with Rogers right now.

It's happened to me...the plan wasn't unbelievable like that one, but it was reasonably good and completely made up. I'm not saying that plan is unattainable, some people do have those, just that the whole experience almost perfectly mirrors mine where I was lied to when renewing contract, and then wound up being offered a comparatively horrible plan after.

Damn that really is an awesome deal. Talk to retention, regular csr are garbage. Tell them that they had def made an offer and notes should be there. And if they deny tell them I wanna speak to the manager. And if the manager denies tell them you want to escalate this matter to the office of the president. Trust me it will work and you will get what you were promised. Don't be scared to escalate the matter to higher up
Good luck
Can anyone actually confirm those Bell deals, (even though I'm with Rogers) that give me hope (that I maybe shouldn't have) and it seems a bit too good to be true.
My bad I didn't mean "unbelievable" as in I don't believe it, I meant "unbelievable" as in very good but possible. You've seen "so many" deals with incoming, 6pm, and 500mb for less than $36? I find it hard to believe...those are fairly rare to come across even on RFD, although like I said obviously it happens. It's by my estimation a $79 plan for $36. I dunno, maybe you have, who am I to say you haven't.
I know that the CSR's BS a lot, but I happened to go through a whole bunch of posts of deals that match mine exactly so it appears to be some sort of standard deal.
I am calling back tomorrow and will escalate the matter as high as it needs to go, I guess.

Hi
Take a look at the plans rogers has on it website. It would be crazy for them to offer you this plan. I'm not saying you are lieing but its either you got it wrong, or they lied to you its simple as that. If you get this plan, ill give you a free iphone*
* The model is unspecified, could be a knock off from china or similar.
You aren't familiar with retentions obviously. They will give you awesome deals. I've seen a TON of way better deals on other forums, but I don't care enough to argue for the ridiculous deals people get.
However, I wasn't talking with the rep, my fiance was. She wrote down everything the CSR offered so she didn't add or make up anything.
17.50 for 250 plus eve 6/weekend
25 for 500mb
10 for 2500txt, vm, CID
Dunno how much my 5 is
Unlimited incoming is usually always fully credited($10)
So it's around 62.50 + my5 + tax. Plus they can fully credit the $10 txt vm CID package, give atleast $5 upto $10 data credit, unlimited incoming is credited and might give monthy credit, it's quite doable.
Very rare? Def, but def doable. I've read quite a few deals on rfd and hofo that hover around 35-40$ and have these features and maybe something else. It really depends on year of service, negotiating skills and luck to get a good csr
