I'm trying to look at the $10 plan and it's not letting me modify the account. Now Rogers' website crapped out and I think I might have removed my value package and I can't get in to check or add the lesser priced one. @MichaelKwan – I just looked over my rogers bill and I pay the following:

I will be buying one but I'm just not the hyped-up type of person who goes in the first day. I'll wait a few weeks til they have ample stock. My cellphone bill with Telus hits $100+ a month (I had a $230 month 2 months ago) so I'm not worried about rates. “how many people will not buy purchasing a new iPhone?”

It has Caller ID, voicemail, and 125 SMS. That'll save you $10 already. Also, you can phone retentions to get a better retention plan out of them. Based on my rough math, your current plan should be $30-35? Fight them for a $10-$15 bill credit each month. Combined with the downgraded VP, I just saved you about $20. Now buy me a bowl of pho.

I'll have to check my bill again and take a look. I remember them saying back in the day that every 6 months they allow you to 'upgrade' your phone. I looked at that option a while back and they told me I would have to pay an additional $150 on top of the retail price of the phones in the store but also resign the contract for another 3 years. So if a phone was say $100 at the retail level, I'd have to pay a $150 on top of that plus the 3 year renewal. I wasn't going to do that so I bought a Sony Ericsson for $200 and now I just wait another year on my current contract. @Gus I looked at changing my plan and with the features I wanted, the Value Plan was cheaper :( unfortunately it also has a bunch of stuff I don’t want.

With Rogers you can always change the plan you are on. I have done so myself since I have been with them for 4 months. For me I just can't upgrade to the iPhone since I'm not in my upgrade "window" which is usually 1 year into your contract. For me if I keep my current plan and add the $30 data plan I'd be paying $80 with tax. Not bad I'd say, but alas I can not get it yet and I have to wait until February at this moment in time.
