Rogers Plus
Rogers Pay As You Go Plans: $75/Yr for Unlimited Local Cdn Text or Local Evening and Weekend Calling
This deal has expired!
Unlimited Local Canadian Text Messaging - $75 Per Year
- $0.75 Monthly Emergency Access Fee Not Included
- $0.40 Charge Per Minute for Local Phone Usage
Unlimited Local Evening and Weekend Calling - $75 Per Year
- $0.75 Monthly Emergency Access Fee Not Included
- $0.40 Charge Per Minute for Local Phone Usage During Other Hours
As expected, for $75 you're getting the bare minimum here but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you're paying something like $40 or more per month but don't make use of all your minutes or texts and don't need data, one of these plans might suit you just the same and save you a lot in the long run. If you're interested in one of these options but need to modify it with add-ons, Rogers should be able to accommodate which means you can get say an unlimited texting plan with a $10 100MB data add on per month if you wish.
Power users won't have any interest in these plans but these would be perfect for text heavy kids or those who need a phone for emergency only purposes. More information can be found here.
Both plans are available until February 2013.

Personally, I've used to following on my iPhones for years:
call - 1c eve/weekend rate, 39c normal rate
text - $5 for 250 txt
data - $1 as needed for 10Mb/24 hrs usage. (great for imessage/email/web browsing on the go when you are not close to any free WiFi)
I spend about an average of $150 a year on prepaid for my usage, I rarely call except when it's 1c time. Always topping up with $100 cards because they last 365 days.
I don't see any better options for my usage pattern.
Although, can't beat $25/year on SpeakOut 7-11 SIM, for a really low usage user
1-Yr Canadian Text Messaging OR 1-Yr Local Evening & Weekend Calling
oh well
Yea, the unlimited evenings and weekend plan isn't as good. But the messaging one is okay.
well it doesn't really say you CANT use it with the 1c per weekend call rate, anyone willing to call in to confirm this or try to add it to your account and hope the 1c doesn't change to 40c rate
See discussion at: http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...id-coming-soon
(1) $100 prepaid car for 365 days expiry
(2) $75+($0.75*12months) for the e911 fee
I guess (2) is the way to go when (1) is expiring.
2 - $75/yr is for unlimited text plan. This is not an add-on pack like ususally done for text options, it is a unique pre-paid plan and you can't select anything else to lower your per minute call rate.
For the $1 day/10 $5week/60 options, just cut you off instead of charging overages.
That's one of the reasons I got a fairly low text pack with Rogers when I was with them. I never used to send texts because I would always just receive and confirm plans etc with a quick phone call -- and my phone's keypad was terrible. But when the policy changed and it became more convenient (for them) to start charging for incoming and outgoing texts I didn't have a choice.
Eventually, I got retentions to add a 2500 text pack per month free due to all my faithful years of Rogers service buying.
