The trick to getting better Rogers rates is to call up and demand a
lower rate (they will ask you to renew for a contract, usually 3 years),
to switch over to a promo plan during a promo plan period (every few
months they rotate promotions), or get in on a corporate plan (if you
work as the U of S, you get a discount; if you work at Starbucks, you
get a better discount -- confirmation is usually an employee # they
can't easily verify, verbally given).
Hopefully this helps you to get a better rate on your phone; I kept the
same rate, but got 2 hours earlier start times, caller display, and a
few hundred more daytime minutes for the same amount as I used to pay.
YMMV -- you may have to call once a week for a few weeks before you get
someone who isn't an asshole on the other end.
