Default Bell Retention...

I recently switched our (family) cellphones to Shaw from Bell.

Now I am getting daily calls from Bell retentions to try and convince me to come back.

Is it worth it to engage them or do they typically not offer much.

Anyone else gone through the same thing ?

Thanks.

Bell is a terrible company with terrible culture...ignore them. They do not deserve your money.

You escaped Bell and only getting spam calls consider yourself lucky.

I left Bell and they managed to get me back pretty quickly.

My personal plan from about 2 years ago was $85/month, normal calling features and 3GB data (I don't use a ton of data). I left for Telus as Bell's renewal/phone upgrade was going to turn to $95/month and same-ish features and 5GB data if I recall correctly. Telus under my work employee offers was going to be about the same for $85/month.

Their new plan they gave me a $400 device credit and 9GB data, making my monthly bill closer to $50.

Wife and I are with Bell but plans are up and we’re both in dire need of new phones (were on 7s)

Which company has the best deal? The last time we got phones they were free on 2 year plans and now it appears you have to pay 90+ for a plan and another 30-40 a month per phone which you have to exchange in 2 years for a new one.

We pay 115 a month now for 2 phones and 20g data each.
I use no data but wife uses 10-15

Really don’t want to start paying 200+ a month now, it’s crazy to even think but our phones are toast/dated so I know we need new ones.

Hate Bell with a passion not sure a year of free service would make me go back. They ####ed me so hard I'll never do business with them again.

I have 6 lines at 60GB with two iPhone 11's for $240/month with Rogers. I'll take that. Was paying nearly $350 for 3 lines and half the data at Bell.

Ditch the apple ecosystem and go to a BOD plan with Koodo for $50 a month for 10 gig data and buy a $400 phone instead of a $1200 phone.
