No, you most likely won't get a retention plan unless you've been with the service for a year.

Probably wont get the best plan, but you can probably get them to match another Carrier's plan and maybe throw in 1 bonus. Worth a shot.

A lot of carriers have pretty sweet student deals if you ask for them.
Rogers will give students their Unlimited Evenings starting at 6 pm rather than 7 pm for free instead of the early evening fee they usually charge.
Also the CSR said it was a student thing but I think it was a retention thing but she gave us the unlimited texting option for free as well.
So basically one is $7 and one is $10 and on our bill it shows -$7 and -$10 at the bottom so we get $17 a month off our bill instead of paying for those add-ons to our plan.
That makes our bill just $15 a month each, all we had to do was provide her a student number and tell them what school. They have codes for schools in their system and they just verify that you're a student I guess and you're good to go with the discounts.
Other carriers might do this as well but I was checking around and I noticed their student plans don't offer as many features as Rogers for the same price. For example most companies have the $50 dollar student plan for a smartphone or whatever but none offer as many features as Rogers does with theirs.

Looked at a plan with comparable features to the $45 I pay now and I'm hitting $60. And still can't quite call anybody when I'm in Hamilton with a 647 number, I can have only 5.
I'm not trying to be a hard sell here, but I just can't see the benefits.

Then I guess Telus wouldn't best suit your needs. I personally do not need long distance, so I got a pretty rocking plan with them. My initial plan was EPP 17.30, which was amazing on its own

Does anyone know whether ChatR allows people to bring unlocked phones to their network or do you have to buy one of theirs?

the good part with the Android phone is that there's a possibility of auto-logging to Mac's wifi by using a script 
ah the automation possibilities of a linux based phone................ ..
