I need someone to help talk me out of moving from Wind to Bell. Scenario is below, I am on Wind and my wife is on Rogers with an iPhone she would like to keep. I would like to get a new Samsung Galaxy S3, and I've ran through how mcuh it would be to stay on Wind or with Bell. The attractive part is Bell is offering a 400 per line port in credit.
I love that I have no contract and cheap service with Wind, but I do sometimes get frustrated when I enter certain locations and drop off suddenly. A good example is downtown on Stephen Ave. I can be walking along outside, go inside for some lunch and lose connection. It would be nice to also be able to take advantage of the Bell 4G and LTE speeds on my new phone.
Existing Cell payments
Me:Wind
40$/month
Unlimited everything
***300$ for Samsung Galaxy S3 on WindTab
Wife:Rogers
75$/month
2.5 years left
500 to break contract
115 per month total, plus 300 for new phone
115 x 36 = 4140
4140 + 300 = 4440
Total cost over 3 years 4440
Proposed Cell payments
Bell
65 per line, 130$/month on two 3-year contracts
130*36= 4680
4680 - 800 port in credit = 3880
3880 + 500 to break Rogers contract = 4380
We get two new Samsung galaxy s3 phones for 100 each.
4380 + 200 = 4580
We can sell one of the s3 phones for approx 450-500 on kijiji
4580 - 500 = 4080
Total cost over 3 years 4080
