'Course, Bell very rarely makes offers that current customers can't go on.

Common, I think it is only fair that you give us some taste of what to expect with this new plan.

I promise I won't say a thing!! LOL

Thanks

If I did more, id tell you, i can assure you it will be related to a variety of the existing plans with bonuses added in for the holiday season with a "gift" marketing approach

Does bell charge any fees to change plans like telus? I know rogers doesn't. And Fido doesn't let you change to the new plans if you aren't a new customer except for some exceptions. If this is the case, bell is good to their customers.

Bell charges 11.00 to change plans after I think two changes. But if you sqeek the wheel you can always waive that charge.

Good luck,

They actually have a good plan not posted which is 25.00 for 200 minutes and 15.00 for unlimted evenings and weekends.

It's actually $25/mth for 200 min + $25 for nights and weekends.
It's still better than the MY TIME $49 because incremental minutes are .25 instead of .30.

You won't get reliable info on new plans until 1-2 weeks before release. It's pretty standard for Bell Mobility to bring out Christmas gift promos. These are rarely extended to existing customers, unlike plain rate plan changes.

I don't know of a single one that wasn't. Sure if they involve getting a phone, like the Grab and Go, then they need to get a new phone, but sometimes even then exsisting subs are eligible. Like the "scratch and win" promo from earlier this year, they just needed to agree to a 12 month term.

No, the plan that I am on is 25.00 and 15.00 more for evenings and weekends. It a total of 40.00 dollars. I had it given to me last year it may not be offered anymore.

Give them a call and see what they say

It's not avalible anymore. If you're on it I wouldn't change.

Do have a corporate discount?
Or did you argue your way into it with retentions dept?
That is an unusual, but excellent , price.

As for christmas promos existing customers can't get, I meant more along the lines of extra bill credits, etc.
