My wife and I just signed up for (what seems to be) an amazing cell phone plan.
She works in a bank that has some sort of corporate partnership with a cell phone service provider (I don't know the details, but suffice to say it's a huge national bank and a huge cell phone service provider.) As such, she's always offered employee deals.
She was recently offered a cell phone deal that we could not refuse. I'd like to know if we were ripped off, or if we made the right choice.
We get a free phone (Motorola T720g, Canadian sister to the Motorola T720), as long as we agreed to a 7-month contract (which we did). The contract is for $15/month which scalable. If we use <50 (anytime) minutes, the price is $15 for that month. If we use up to 200 minutes, the price is $20. 300 minutes is $30, etc.
The plan is adjusted monthly; subscriber receives the best available rate (<-- I read that off the contract :) ).
All prices are in Canadian funds![[Image: canada.gif]](http://s88432259.onlinehome.us/images/canada.gif)
I'm looking at the contract right now and I don't see how we can be ripped off, unless we use an ungodly amount of minutes per month. If we limit ourselves to <50 minutes per month for 7 months, we pay 7x15 = $105, and we get to keep a very expensive phone.
Good deal, or ripped off?
