A few years ago, I read a thread on RedFlagDeals.ca (I think) about retention plans that people were getting. One post suggested phoning up and comparing your plan to a "friends". I found a decent plan that someone was bragging about in a post from the site. I called Retensions and asked why I wasn't getting the deal my buddy was. The call went back and forth for about 15 minutes. Finally the CSR caved in, giving me the sweet deal, but cautioning me that I was a special case, as they didn't offer that deal anymore.
I looked back on the post months later to show someone how also to get good deals. It was then that I realized the post (and good plan) were from 2002 or something...I was negotiating with a 5 year old plan that one of my "friends" had, lol.
BTW the $10 free incoming calls option is where it's at, IMO.
