Even after adding on US roaming minutes, my phone bill came to $489.80, and Graham's was $205.25. My 240 roaming minutes were used up by Sat (I arrived on Wed), and I made $100.80 in text msgs alone.
Combined w/my internet & cable bill, they total $827.68.

OUCH! Hon! That is awful!

Next time, I'm putting unlimited minutes on my phone and just handing it to you.

If its Rogers all you have to do is talk to them...

They always find a way to make you payless

While I was in St. Lucia during that time, texts with Rogers were an additional 40cents, so for me it was worth it. Though last sumemr while I was in NYC, calls were almost $3 a minute (roaming and long distance with taxes included)! gasp.

Rogers suggested get on their CAN-US plan before I get on my next holiday, and cancel when I get back. Nice guy.

If you add US minutes with Rorgers it is prorated - so - if you plan to go for a week in the middle of your billing cycle don't just get it the day before you leave and cancel it the minute you get back - that way you'd only have 25% of those extra minutes eligible for the discount

(since you weren't part of the plan for the other 3 weeks...)

Its Rogers, and since when do they do that? Believe me, I've called b4 when I was slapped with these bills early on. This is probably the 4th or 5th bill like this I've had in the past couple years. It's mental. If you have some secret to getting a few bucks knocked off, please let me know!

Yes- u MUST add them on the day your billing cycle begins. I've made that mistake a few times and paid dearly.
This time I did it right, but it just wasn't enough minutes. Not to mention I didn't know about the costs per text msg.

good negotiating skills

While I was on my contract I was screwed... Once it finished all i had to do was call them.
I never had a bill less than $100-150, so basically i made sure to point that out
Tell them that no way are you paying that much and that you didnt know exactly how much it would cost. Ask them if there is anything they can do, if they tell you they cant do anything ask to talk to their management. Cause usually they really cant do crap at the representative level. Once the higher ups come, talk to them and explain the situation. Ask if there is anyway they can put those minuts under a different plan or something. For me all they usually did was put my minutes under an insane plan that I would have never consider getting but it still ended up being considerably less than the bill.

Ive had that happen to me once or twice and it worked out best. Just dont take no for an answer .

wow and I would cry when I got a $50 phone bill.

Next time, get off the phone, and get on the dance floor!
