Rogers iphone plan in ontario

Well, all you have to do is make them believe that you're seriously considering canceling your contract and going with a different provider because of what they're trying to do to you.

And don't mention which provider, just give them a clue.. that if they don't get it right, you're willing to move on to another competitor..

Sorry but you cant have your old plan... and its nothing to do with the CSR or a supervisor
Having worked in a call centre I dreaded this situation, literally there was nothing I could do to meet the old plan. As in nothing physically possible short of mailing you a cheque for the difference every month. The program used by CSR doesnt allow those plans to exist in any area then the special "small market" ones. As soon as the number was changed the plan was lost forever, the best you can hope for is some credits/special socs (how we used to refer to addons like text) to meet you part way. Its crap I know, but not as crappy as the fact they have been charging the rest of us more and more for this stuff. Its all overpriced in my opinion.

Sorry, but I think the only thing that should've changed was the phone number, and perhaps the provincial fees. To have a plan transferred to a new phone number, you shouldn't have any issues at all, even on a retentions plan. My ex gf did it with Fido, basically the exact same company as Rogers, with no hassles.

Talk to retentions and complain to them that CSR said you would be paying $20/month more just for moving, which is ridiculous. Be nice and tell them that you want to remain a customer for sometime, otherwise start to haggle them on canceling. They WANT you to stay on. It's money in their pocket.

Good luck!

Not for special market plans though, when the number is changed it does detect it and forces a change of plan. If the plan is still available he could get it back... but he would have to change his number back to the proper area code.

Now there are other deals available, im just saying you most likely wont have something as good as you had before... believe me there are some really nice plans if you live in a couple special areas, better then some employee discounts (unless you are an employee living there...)

Call Customer Relations directly, 1-888-936-7283 or *611 (from your mobile).

Their sole purpose is to retain unhappy customers.

Rogers is a pretty big joke in the telecom industry, but I find all telecoms to be a joke. That being said I find Telus and Bell have beefed up their customer service for iPhone customers.
Also a recent video was posted to Youtube showing that Bell's Network speeds significantly outmatch Rogers'.

Just some food for thought.

Call retentions, the regular CSR's(and their managers) PHYSICALLY DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO IT. Their computer system that they use does not give them the option.

Retentions on the other hand has access to MANY different tools that the regular CSR's do not, hell when I had an issue with Rogers Collection's dept, they transfered me to retentions to get the issue fixed, as they did not have the ability to backdate plans(long story), but retentions did.

Still wont be the same plan, but I agree, retentions is the place to go. They have great plans and tricks they can use to make it as close to your old one as possible.
CSRs can do most of the things they can, but they are not allowed to.
