Specifically in regards to the three major telecom providers in Canada (BELL, Rogers, and TELUS). Knowing what to ask for, and simply asking for it has saved my clients on average 35% on their monthly cellular expenses. Imagine a company with 50 cell phones? <BR/><BR/>Now is a great time to take a look at all of the contracts you have with your vendors. What does it hurt to simply ask? You have nothing to lose.Heather Paulshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875084798580183720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-40349034994879978882008-12-16T08:49:00.000-05:002008-12-16T08:49:00.000-05:00One of my first blog posts was about Rogers home p...One of my first blog posts was about <A HREF="http://www.holypotato.com/?p=14" REL="nofollow">Rogers home phone ads</A>. I <A HREF="http://www.holypotato.com/?p=565" REL="nofollow">still get at minimum, one a week</A>. That post is getting a little dated, but the basic premise is the same: Rogers charges one rate across all of Ontario for home phone, whereas Bell varies by city. If you happen to live in a cheaper city, Bell makes more sense, even with the bundling discount. If you like your add-ons (call waiting, call display, call answer, etc.), then Rogers can come out ahead because they charge less per add-on.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I demand something better than breakeven from Rogers to switch because their phones work over the cable network, and will only last as long as the backup battery does in the event of a power outage (8 hr?).Potatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157102363273750204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-31919917447209030192008-12-16T08:29:00.000-05:002008-12-16T08:29:00.000-05:00You are far too analytical, you must be a dance ma...You are far too analytical, you must be a dance major!<BR/><BR/>OK, so take all of your phone bills and put them in a box for the next ten years and then come back and see how much money you would have saved if you had simply decided to not buy a phone...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
