Me toooo!

I have been shocked how hard it has been to get any sort of deal.

I have been with Rogers for years and years and am off contract. I bought a blackberry and went into the store to add data and they wanted me on a 3 year contract (on just the data) -- non-negotiable. I am like, what do I get for being on a 3 year deal? NOTHING.

And then instead they reduced my text plan cost. So I went in to the store (two different stores) trying to pay more to get more, and instead I got more for less, just not what I wanted to get.... yeish.

So then I went to Bell and basically said I would take any good deal that didn't involve a contract and they essentially told me that all of their plans are on contract. (Or at least offer no savings off of contract).

Call me crazy, but that 'free phone' on a 3 year contract is not free, it is covered by the 3 year plan. So if you don't want the 'free phone' why should you pay the same per month that the person who does want the 'free phone' does?
