Hmmm...I think I need to have a conversation with Rogers. I've the same plan...and paying about $40 more than you. 6GB data, though, but I got that part when the iPhone first came out here ($20/mo promotion). Of course, I got that plan 6 years ago, when my bill on the old plan broke $350/mo. I imagine there's better options now.
I've been a rogers customer for nearly 9 years...and had many a long conversation with them regarding my plan. I technically only pay for 1gb of data, and they wave the shared access charge ($12) because I've complained about my services so much.

They don't like me :)

Oh, and that price includes the (ridiculous) $2 charge for paper billing, because I keep paper receipts for everything for tax purposes.

I have the best deal.  No phone, £0 per month and no one calls me when I'm not at home!

iPhone 4, contract is up so I'll likely get a new 5s one of these days...
I travel a lot so what's most important to me is the cost when NOT in Canada...
Provider: Telus Mobility

1250 minutes Canada-Wide
Free incoming calls
250 minutes/month USA
Unlimited Texts Canada
250 texts/month Worldwide
1gb data/month Canada & USA

$99/month. Before you start calling asking for this plan, it no longer exists, sorry! I've been grandfathered into it.

What ticks me off is that you can't get 3year contracts anymore in Canada. With the 2-year contracts, new phones cost more. You should still have the option of a 3year contract if you want a bigger discount on the phones.

Talk to your provider....you can likely get the phone you want for free if you're willing to put in the time to get it

I still have yet to pay for an iphone and I've had a 3, 4 and 5, all within 6 months of release :)

I'd be interested to know how exactly you were able to pull that off... I've been with Telus for about 15 years and they treat me very well, but I have to say, they've never offered me a free iPhone so far.

It's standard practice her (UK).  Sign up for a twelve month contract and the phone is free.

But they're adding 20-25 USD per month to your bill to cover it over the two year period, right?

That's about the difference between my no contract AT&T plan and their similar 2 year contract with discounted phone plans. If rather spend ~$300 buying a Google Nexus phone unlocked and save the money each month. Not to mention if I travel over seas I can pickup a local SIM card and use it no problem.

several hours on the phone with the complaint department manager....:)

Technically I paid for the upgrade cost of the phone and they credited me like $20-25/month for my contract...
