A good read based on some of these ridiculous plan fees.

I pay $40 for unlimited texting and 150 weekday minutes, unlimited nights and weekends (which I probably use a whopping 25 of if that). There is some data too, but I don't use it.

I feel like I am getting hosed.

At least I don't have a contract. I need to get a plan sometime that just gives me unlimited texting and limited minutes for cheap.

The 29$ plan was a promo. It also only lasts a year. They have the 40$ plan now and it lasts forever

I use to have it too. But lost it when I got the nexus

I absolutely hate Bell.
Stupid greedy pigs.
Scum of the earth.
I hope they go bankrupt.

I cancelled my plan a 3 months ago and paid the $400 cancellation fee. Now I get charged another $200 for cancelling the data plan aswell? **** you bell!

I urge absolutely NOBODY to go with these fools.

I hope the careless ***** I spoke with on the phone gets laid off. You didn't pay your final bill... yes I did. You didn't pay your cancellation fee... YES I ****ING DID! oh... You didn't pay your data termination fee. Is there a reason all this **** wasn't on 1 bill?

**** **** **** ****

I hope Rogers and Telus merge to make Telors and they just wipe these ******** off the face of the earth.

Thanks for listening guys.

iPhone 4.......my plan is £10 a month when i feel like topping it up for unlimited text and internet and 100 minutes, and they always give free time on internet, so I actually only top like 8 times a year since I do most stuff through the net anyway.

call back and speak to a supervisor..... if you paid your bill it would show up on your online bank/credit card statement.

Read the contract before you sign it. All smartphone subsidies in Canada require both voice and data contracts, and would have cancellation fees for both if you cancel/port out your number.
