Looking at upgrading my phone under my corporate account and right now they are offering a unlimited plan with 10gigs data on rogers for 60 dollars a month and will offer free financing of the S20 FE for 15 dollars a month on a 2 year term.

Do you think deals might get better on boxing day instead? Rogers doesn't want to give me a hint unfortunately

I think now. I believe retailers are concerned about lockdown and want to move units, now.

EEP for telus is 20gb for $50. Add onto that the financing of your favorite phone. Only $130 the iphone 12 pro right now but the iphone 11 and other non apple devices are getting a $300 hardware credit.

the 20GB for $50 is BYOD only unfortunately. Can't do it with a financed device as far as i'm aware. I do see these that are eligible for device financing:
10GB/$60
20GB/$63.75
30GB/$70
20GB Connect (shared with devices) for $68/month

all of these are "peace of mind" so unlimited throttled after you finish your allotment.

Indeed it sucks that the credit is only $120 for a 12 Pro while most other phones have way bigger discounts and some even with free earbuds etc. I might call a physical store today and see if they are offering anything better, although i don't know if they can do EPP.

Looks like you are correct. I was told wrong by the corp CSR.

Still, its a good deal. Its basically 10-20% off the plan plus a pile of device credits. If you are looking for deals, best buy is offering $100+ gift cards on top of EPP plan. Was $300 i think on the phone 11. Im looking for a 12 pro and they are sold out everyone in town (Med Hat).

Best Buy can do EPP?? I was about to pull the trigger today on a 12 Pro thru Telus' website, but if they can do it at BB with a GC on top might as well do that.

Well its a moot point anyways as i just called a few BBs and none of them have a 12 Pro in stock.

Most major retailers can see the EPP pricing.
