Canada\u2019s \u2018Big Three\u2019 carriers \u2014 Bell, Rogers, and Telus \u2014 ushered in the New Year with plans that are the same as or a little more expensive than last year.<\/p>\n

January is always a bit of a weird time for carrier plans since things change fast and frequently during Black Friday\/Boxing Day and the holiday shopping period. As such, I thought it\u2019d be worth taking a moment to look at what plans the Big Three have on offer now, how the plans differ (if at all) from pre-holiday plans and holiday offers, and really set a benchmark to look back to when plans inevitably change going forward.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to focus on the unlimited offers here since those are the primary options pitched by carriers. It\u2019s also worth noting that these plans all include calling, texting and other add-ons \u2014 we\u2019re going to focus on the data since that\u2019s usually the only differentiating factor. That said, I will highlight any additional differences when they show up.<\/p>\n

Additionally, some of the plans mentioned below include Canada-U.S. roaming. Unlike the standard roaming packages carriers offer, which charge customers a daily fee for a set number of days based on the destination (i.e. $10\/day for 15 days in the U.S.), Canada-U.S. roaming plans include access to data, calls and text while in the U.S., no additional roaming fees required. You can check out the default roaming packages at the following links: Rogers<\/a> | Bell<\/a> | Telus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, all the unlimited plans include a data allotment. Customers can access data at full network speed until they use up the allotment \u2014 after that, the carriers throttle data speeds to a maximum of up to 512Kbps. There are no overage charges, so you can keep using data at the slower speed if you want.<\/p>\n
