    Re: Rogers Retention Plans

    Just wanted to clear something up: you can phone in because you want your bill to be lower, you just have to do your research, first.

    1. Know exactly what you want. Know the max amount of minutes you use, who those minutes are used with (mostly with 5 or fewer people means My5 might be good for you, mostly with other Rogers numbers means unllimited Rogers-to-Rogers would be good for you, mostly incoming calls means unlimited incoming would be good). Know how much data you use per month (1 GB = 1024 MB, 1 MB = 1024 KB). If you never use more than 1 GB, you shouldn't pay for 6 GB. Know how many text messages you use (or want to use), so you can get an appropriate number.

    2. Visit competitor's websites to find out what they would charge you for a plan and add-ons that would meet your needs. If you can find something better than you're getting with Rogers, THEN you have a legit reason for calling them.

    3. Some other things that are good to know how long you've been a Rogers customer, how long until your contract expires, what the ECF would be if you broke your contract now (don't bring this point up with them), and how long you're willing to renew for (this is a bargaining point with Rogers and you get better deals the longer you renew for).

    4. Call *611 and choose the 'cancel your plan' option. This takes you right to Customer Relations without making you look like the deal-hound who phones the direct line.

    5. Tell them that you can't see why you should stay with Rogers when such-and-such competitor offers plans that meet all of your possible needs for less than Rogers is charging you (for me it was Virgin, when I did it for my sister, it was Fido). Tell them all of your needs that you figured out in step 1, and that unless you can get a better deal from Rogers, you'll be leaving. They have to believe that you might leave, or they will just blow you off. Do this firmly and politely so that you come off as being reasonable, but not a push-over. When they make you an offer, make sure that it meets everything that you want for minutes, add-ons and price and ask whether the price they gave you includes all fees (911, government regulatory, etc.) so that you can properly compare them to their competitiors. Also, ask how long you have to renew for and bargain on this if it's important to you.

    Doing this, I was able to get my sister the following earlier this month:

    250 daytime minutes/unlimited evenings and weekends (8 P.M. evenings)
    Unlimited Rogers-to-Rogers
    Voicemail, Call Display, and 2500 text messages

    for $39/month including all fees and taxes, with a 1 year renewal. This exceded all of her needs by a nice margin, and was a drop of over 20% from her previous bill.

    So, know what you want, and know who can give it to you for less than Rogers.

    Re: Rogers Retention Plans

    Hi, Is this a good deal?
    This is the plan I was quoted from Rogers Retention Department.

    $ 18 Corporate Business Plan (200 Wkly/Unltd Wkend and Unltd Evenings)
    $ 5 text messaging for 2500 texts (unlimited incoming)
    $20 for 1 GB Data Plan (normally 30.00 but they are taking $10 off for the duration of a new 3 year contract)
    $5 unlimited evenings after 6pm and weekends
    $6.95 System Access Fee

    Total approx. $ 55.00 plus tax

    Additional Services
    Exact Pricing



    They are offering me a Blackberry Bold if I wish but I received a gift for 200.00 towards an iphone. I plan to purchase the phone from the Apple store and apply that to the plan. I have checked with Rogers and they will honour that as well (this way I don't have to purchase the phone from a Rogers store)

    Re: Rogers Retention Plans

    My 2 year contract for all my Rogers services (internet, cable, wireless) recently expired so Rogers discontinued the 15% bundle discount I used to receive. I renewed my internet, cable for a 1 year period and got a good deal on those thru' Retentions but was told Wireless was a seperate department. Called Wireless but they refused to reinsatate the discount without a fresh 2 year commitment (I still have 11 months on the contract).
    Do I have any recource at this point?

    Re: Rogers Retention Plans

    Customer retentions set up the deal for me...including the purchase. I was transferred a few times but the last guy I talked to is the one that set the price of the phone and set up the plan. I had a lot of issues with the Motorola Razr I bought 1 year previous and this also might have been a factor.

    Hey, when you say they setup the final price to $47.50, you mean for the next months within the 2 remaining years? Or you mean for the first few months only?
    Thanks

    Re: Rogers Retention Plans

    I just got off the phone with Rogers.
    I just call them and tell them I want to cancel my service because it is simply too expensive.
    Other companies do not charge for system access fee (They just make up this fee to charge you more).
    I got 250 min day time
    evening starting at 5pm
    caller ID
    first 3 months 100 bonus minus

    Nokia 6790 with no $35 admin fee.

    $25 + 2.58 + tax.
    I am looking to pay around $31 a month.

    They offer me $3 for 100 outgoing text message and unlimited incoming text message.
    However, I dont even want to pay $3 for text messaging.


    I was asking them for $5 credit every month, but they said they was not allow to do that even if I dont want a new phone.
    So ok fine. I will get a new phone and then sell it for the credits.

    I was asking for the unlimited network calling and per second billing.
    Nevertheless, they also said they no long provide per second billing.
    And they can only apply 2 credits to my account.
    Anything more she puts, it will not works.
    I am not sure if she was lying. Can someone tell me?

    Also, she said I need to sign 3 years contract, she cannot offer me that much for a 2 years contract.
    Again, is she lying?

    Re: Rogers Retention Plans

    THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!
    This completely worked for me.

    I was averaging around $75/month in bills with rogers, and I was meticulous about using a long distance calling card in the evenings. I called a basic customer service representative who could do absolutely NOTHING for me. She wanted to give me an upgrade, which I didn't want, and then the identical plan with virtually no freebies thrown in. Fortunately, she hung up on me by accident, and I was able to use that as leverage to get me to the retention department.

    I played hard to get, but friendly, and it paid off without any sweat off my brow. I firmly believe that being friendly works out better in the long run., although I'm sure that some people being jerks to the CSR have gotten what they wanted as well.

    What really helped was claiming that Bell had offered me a plan, which was largely based around what I had seen someone get on this thread, and then the discontent about being hung up on (which was true) helped as well.

    Here is my plan.

    250 daytime minutes.
    unlimited evenings.
    evenings starting at 6 p.m.
    100 free canadian long distance minutes.
    all that for $30.
    Then a value pack including voicemail, call ID, and 2500 text messages for $10.
    a $10 rebate after that.

    I've got everything I want, and more, and I'm paying $42.58 a month after all fees and taxes. Not amazing perhaps, but I'm pretty darned happy with it.

    Re: Rogers Retention Plans

    I just called *611 to cancel my plan using the menu options. I found a better plan on Koodo for $46 + tax, whereas I was paying $53.70 + tax.

    I had:
    MY5 35 35.00
    Call Display w/Name Display 8.00
    Text Messaging 3.00
    100 Bonus Minutes 0.00
    9-1-1 Emergency Access Fee 0.75
    System Access Fee 6.95
    Total before taxes: $53.70
    HST (862395381) 6.98
    Total for Wireless: $60.68

    I now have:
    -No system access fee for one year (was told to call back next year and ask for it to be waived again)
    -Unlimited incoming calls for free (a $15 credit)
    -Call display + 2,000 texts + voicemail for $10
    -Evenings/weekends starting at 6 instead of 9.
    -New phone (many choices)
    -Same MY5 Canada-wide
    Bill will be: $45.75 + tax

    Yay!! Thanks all. I definitely would have switched to Koodo otherwise.
