That Talk 40 Plus plan is pretty much the only plan I've been activating with phones lately. It's only available till the end of this month anyway but if you already got a plan with Bell then that info is useless to you!

Bell has some sweet ass phones that's for sure!

Bell has better phones than Rogers? Dude are you on crack? Audiovox is not a sweet ass phone. :dunno:

But if you are happy with it thats good. Doesn't take much to impress you!

I think it sucks that this plan is for new clients only. It would be ideal for me with my new job :thumbsdow

The plan also applies to existing customers but only if your contract has come up for renewal.

A friend of mine has the LG and he's a pretty high user so Telus mailed him a renewal letter and he can get a new phone if he wants but he just wants the plan....coming in to see me tomorrow and he's just gonna renew for one year (minimum) with his phone to get the plan.

So it really depends where you are in your contract. When it first came out yes it was only for new customers but they've extended that to existing...my guess is cause they realized how many complaints they would get cause it is a pretty sweet plan! If I didn't have a demo line from work I'de be all over that plan!

I have the LG too. I'm in year 2 of a 3 year contract (I bought my LG outright to replace my Timeport). I have 2 phones on Telus right now but the plan that is up for renewal is going to be cancelled (its in my name for a buddy). I guess it wouldn't hurt to call customer service and ask. Thanks for the info :thumbsup:

seeing as how i was happy with my phone and DIDNT ask for anyone's opinon, it was either a nokia that the guy told me was a piece of shit! or an ugly motorola which he didnt recomend, that leaving me with the choices of 2 ugly nokia's i wasnt intrerested with.

Bell on the other hand had 3 phones i was interested in, a better plan selection and only a 2 year contract instead of 3 which rogers wanted me to sign on to.


so, i guess it doesnt take much to impress me, just what i like does the trick.:thumbsup: :devil:

Bell does have some sweet ass phones that's for sure....I really like some of their flip phones.

Ah well....guess that's why there's competition between all the carriers...cool phones, good rates, and sweet coverage (for a couple at least!)

didn't mean to offend you. take it easy.


if the guy told you that it was a 3 year term for Rogers then that guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Rogers doesn't even offer 3 year terms anymore. I think Telus is the only provider that still offers 3 year terms.

ya i dunno who it was, but he told me that i should get this ugly ass nokia that was about as big as my arm and i had to sign up for a 3yr contract to get my 3 months free.

Like Ajay said it doesn't matter if you are still in a contract we offer it to everyone... call CS and get them to change it!! It's a good plan...

Which phone was that? Last time I checked, Rogers didn't have a 3 year contract, only a 2 year max and they are the only provider that give 3 months free. Telus gives four I believe.

As far as I know, the only two nokias offered with Rogers is the 8390 and the 3590, both (especially the 8390) are extremely small.

Well, my billing period ends April 11th, so I'm on the talk 40+ plan as of April 12th. Had to extend my contract by another 2 years though :guns: because it would have been up in June.

yeah that kinda sucks, but after the Talk 40 plus promo ends the unlimited eve/wknd calling won't be part of it, the plan will only be the 300 minutes for the month. that's the way it stands now anyway...
