So, a few days ago Rogers launched a new initiative to bring
BlackBerrys a little bit closer to the average user's reach. The new promotional $20 BlackBerry value pack includes:
- 10,000 sent text/picture/video messages
- Unlimited Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger
- Unlimited BlackBerry PIN messenger
- UNLIMITED EMAIL
- Enhanced Voicemail
- Call Display with Name Display
- Who Called
This value pack counts as part of your minimum $35 MSF+Data to get a discount on a berry. What this means, to those of you who don't speak Rogers, is that if you don't currently own a BlackBerry but would like to, and are
eligible for a hardware upgrade, you can replace your existing $11, $15, or $20 value packs with this value pack, and in most cases that's all it'll take to qualify to get the phones for promotional pricing. Combine this with the fact that the promotional pricing for the new 8220 flip is only $49.99, and you have yourself one heck of a not bad deal. Note that this constitutes a 3 year renewal of your contract, but if you're doing a hardware upgrade then you're renewing anyway. As far as I know, this offer expires January 13th, 2009.

ReplyDeleteMSF=Monthly Service Fee, which in rogers speak means the voice portion of your plan
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the $20 VP also include unlimited email?
ReplyDeleteif i get this value pack, do i still get to keep the 5$ Student MSF credit for a value pack?
ReplyDeleteJust checked on that for you anonymous, the answer is no.
ReplyDeleteI just spoke with a rep who said this doesn't count towards the MSF+ Data. Is the rep wrong?
