Rogers going live with 2-year contract terms and new monthly pricing on August 9th
By Ian Hardy on July 22, 2013 at 8:30pm in Mobile News, Rogers
The CRTC’s new Wireless Code mandated all the wireless carriers to shift towards a 2-year contract terms by December 2nd. Bell went live last week, TELUS will be implementing a 2-year term on July 30th, Virgin is set for August 1st, and we can now confirm Rogers and Fido will go live with 2-year contract terms on August 9th.
According to the internal document we received it states that the new plans are “an evolution of the Simplified Plans we launched last Fall” and that the “2-year plans allow Rogers customers to pay off their FLEXTab balance (corresponding to the amount of any applicable device savings recovery fee) sooner, giving them the option to upgrade to a new phone, faster. These new monthly plans will launch August 9, 2013. This approach impacts all Consumer and Small Business Activations (non-MSD).”
Customers will have the choice of a month-to-month or a new 2-year price plan and receive a device subsidy. The hardware discount on a 2-year is similar to Bell and TELUS – for example, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the 16GB iPhone 5 go to $249.99, other devices like the BlackBerry Z10 will be $179.99.
We’ve listed the complete pricing plans above, but all plans range from $70/month to $140/month and will include Unlimited Nationwide Talk & Text, Voicemail and Call Display, plus customers will be able to share data between plan members and devices (smartphone and tablets).
Rogers will also be coming out with a new hardware subsidy and price plan combo called ‘Smart Picks.’ This was previously known as the Smartphone Lite and will offer low-cost devices on a 2-year contract paired with Unlimited Nationwide Talk & Text, Voicemail and Call Display. The price plans will be $60 and $75/month. Taking a quick look at the doc shows a couple interesting points, specifically that Rogers has increased the data allowance and also added a new 10GB plan for $140 ($65 less than TELUS).
We’ll have more info soon…

Fido to implement new pricing and 2-year contracts on August 9th
By Ian Hardy on July 23, 2013 at 10:09am in Fido, Mobile News
Last night we let you know that Rogers will be implementing their 2-year contract and new price plans on August 9th. Fido has been offering 2-year contracts for some time on most of their devices, but this is the date they’ll also adjust their structure across the board.
According to an internal doc we received it shows that “Our customers love the value offered with Tab24 in our Standard and Smart categories. We’re pleased to announce that we are soon extending 2-year Tab24 advantages to the Max category. As of August 9, 2013, Premium Smartphone customers can sign onto a Max plan with a 2-year Tab24 agreement and get Fido’s best available savings on the device they love. Customers can also enjoy the benefits of Tab24, without paying any extra monthly Tab fees.”
Fido will bring their basic Standard plan up by $5 to $30 per month, but others in this category stay the same price at $35 (minutes jump to 300 per month) and $50 per month. The Smart Plans and Max Plans basically stay the same price, but cut down in certain areas of minutes or data. All Fido plans include Canada-wide calling, unlimited messaging, call display & voice mail, unlimited evening and weekends, unlimited circle calling.
As for the hardware pricing, depending on which phone you’re looking for will depend on the price plan. The iPhone is considered a “Premium Smartphone” and can only be activated on a Max plan, but something like the LG Nexus 4 can be hooked onto the Smart Plan. The doc also noted that “FidoDOLLARS and FidoTRADE are still available with no changes to their current business rules.”
Surely more info will be unveiled closer to August 9th.
