Big three wireless carriers all hike rate plans
Canadians signing up for new cellphone plans are in for a shock. Some of the most popular data plans for smartphones have seen baseline prices go up by about $5 per month.
Under the old pricing schemes common to wireless carriers in Canada, basic cellphone plans hovered around $50 to $60. A single gigabyte of data per month — widely considered the minimum for regular email, social media and web browsing — could be added for between $15 and $20 for a total between $70 and $85.
The new $80 per month plans only include 500MB of data, half of what has become normal for many consumers.
The new plans increase by $5 to $10 per month as data caps go up. Many observers have pointed out that the new price plans are almost identical across all three major wireless carriers in Canada, and all three made the changes to new price plans at almost the same time.
Bell plans are available here. Telus plans are available here. Rogers plans are available here. Current contracts are unaffected by the change.
