Rogers, Bell, Telus add $10/mo bill credit for 15 months to online orders

The Big Three carriers, Bell, Telus, and Rogers, have all added a new $10/mo bill credit for 15 months.

The specifics differ slightly from carrier to carrier, but generally, the credit is only available online and can be applied when customers get an in-market 5G plan either when they bring their own phone or get a phone from the carrier.

Telus advertises on its website a $250 total savings for customers, which consists of waiving the $50 activation fee, a $50 bill credit (only available to new activations or hardware upgrades), and the $10/mo bill credit for 15 months ($150 total).

Rogers similarly says it will waive the $50 connection fee but doesn’t have an additional $50 bill credit. That works out to a total $200 in savings.

Bell doesn’t advertise waiving the $50 connection fee in conjunction with the $150 credit, but separately Bell does waive the $50 connection fee for online orders, so customers can still take advantage of both when they sign up online.

It’s also worth noting most carriers offer to waive the $50 connection fee for online orders and that, despite the framing, it’s not a part of Black Friday deals.

Amazon discounts 2021 iPad to $379

While the new 10th gen iPad may have seen a price bump, last year’s model is getting heavily discounted because of it. If you’re looking for a solid tablet for media consumption or some light gaming, this device/price is hard to beat.

Amazon has the 2021 iPad (64GB) discounted to $379, which is $50 off the regular price of $429. The 256GB version is also discounted as its price is $554. You can get either model in Space Grey or Silver.

Be warned, this is listed as a one-day deal, so it may not last past November 21, 2022.

Wireless Wave Black Friday deals include up to $350 in store credit with select phones

Wireless Wave dropped its Black Friday deals for smartphones and plans. Like other retailers, Wireless Wave is offering a discounted plan at $45/mo for 20GB of data. It’s a little better than online offers from Fido, Virgin and Koodo, but not quite as good as the rumoured in-store offers like $40/20GB and even $30/20GB at some locations.

As for smartphone deals, the biggest benefit of Wireless Wave is the ample in-store credit you get when buying a phone through them. Wireless Wave only offers Bell, Rogers and their subsidiaries — the prices below generally reflect what those carriers offer.

  • iPhone 13 — $0 down, $30.84/mo financing and get up to $300 to spend in-store
  • iPhone 12 — $0 down, $25/mo financing and get up to $300 to spend in-store
  • iPhone 11 — $0 down, $15/mo financing and get up to $200 to spend in-store
  • Samsung Galaxy S22 — $0 down, $25.84/mo and get up to $350 to spend in-store
  • Samsung Galaxy S21 FE — $0 down, $14.58/mo and get up to $300 to spend in-store
  • Google Pixel 6a — $0 down, $1/mo financing and get up to $250 to spend in-store

What tech items are you buying this Black Friday?

This upcoming Friday is the post-American Thanksgiving shopping holiday, ‘Black Friday,’ which, over the last few years, has become a major sale event in Canada.

As always, this is the ultimate shopping holiday (next to Boxing Day in Canada), where retailers discount a ton of products by significant margins. Tech products like TVs, smartphones, phone plans, audio equipment, video games and more will all be on sale.

MobileSyrup has nearly countless deal posts up on our site (welcome to DealSyrup 🧟‍♂️) to help you navigate Black Friday, including the particularly hawt ones linked below:

This week in Canadian telecom: Telus’ attempted to impact Rogers-Shaw merger [Nov. 12-18]

The Competition Tribunal has completed week two of its hearing into the Rogers-Shaw merger, and the public had a front-row seat. Chief Justice Paul Crampton started the week by addressing the hearing’s lack of transparency and unnecessary in-camera sessions, leading to once-confidential documents being available for public view. The move led to several revelations.

More on the merger, and other telecom news in Canada, is recapped below.

Business

Telus attempted to sway the outcome of the Rogers-Shaw merger. Details were shared in internal documents presented during the Competition Tribunal’s hearing. The project called ‘Project Fox’ included Telus meeting with politicians “to kill, shape and slow the deal.”

The hearing also revealed that Distributel wanted to buy Freedom Mobile and made two proposals to Rogers. Distributel made the offers before Bell announced plans to purchase the company (subject to regulatory approval).

SaskTel has added $100 million to its Rural Fibre Initiative. The project connects Saskatchewan residents with SaskTel’s infiNET Service, delivering internet speeds close to 1Gbps. The additional funds will connect 80 towns and villages.

As the demand for new phone numbers in Canada continues to grow, the Telecommunications Alliance is introducing new area codes across the country. Residents in Southwestern Ontario will see a new 382 area code in June 2023. The area code will serve areas that have access to 226, 519, and 548 area codes.

The federal government has ended its partnership with Bell Let’s Talk. The annual mental health initiative sees the telecom giant donate every time people use #BellLetsTalk on social media on the designated day.

Deals

With Black Friday around the corner, carriers have released deals on devices and services. A full rundown of all the deals is available here. Some of the discounts are highlighted below.

Freedom is offering savings on Samsung and Pixel devices for Black Friday. Learn more here.

SaskTel is putting discounts on its wireless and wireline services, including offering $100 in credit for new internet customers.

Fido’s Black Friday deals include various device discounts, such as the Google Pixel 6a 128GB with Fido Payment Program for $10/mo for 24 months. A list of discounts is available here.
