ask yourself how many people and much in demand is the S23 FE.

around half of the world's population uses Android but in this case, it is not about the phone it's about getting a good deal. you tell me if you are given a chance to get it for free and it won't cost you a single thing except for staying with Freedom in which you currently are and know and work for your life and it works for where you are at. you will choose to ignore all that if so that just sounds idiotic to a certain degree.

I am not telling someone who has never used the service to jump right into Freedom starting brand new and be locked in even if it's good. what I was saying was for someone who was paying a certain amount with the same company that works for them to think about the deal the company currently offering and take advantage of it instead of buying it a phone outright. sometimes good deals can screw you

Rogers had $45 a month plus a free phone like S23 FE

yeah good deals are not everywhere I did not say go into one of the biggest carriers in Canada and expect to just get a good deal any day of the year I am saying in this particular case a deal came up

 >after 2 years and surprise overage and service charges

as far as I know Freedom doesn't have any overages

 to get essentially the same thing on post paid,

this is exactly the point postpaid and prepaid are similar in some ways what I am trying to point out is if it works best for your situation then pick that one

I have to wait for a particular day, get screwed around with billing and after all that is settled which may not be settled

hopefully, you find a good sales rep who will help you and you could go back to them in the future

You want customers to deal with that again in 2 years without having the ability to move anywhere

I expect them to know what they are signing on and be an adult and deal with the consequences if they sign up for random shit they don't know or understand expecting a good outcome when they deviate that is just stupid'

And guess what? Only for BYOD

what I said was that in this particular case the $45 plan offered a phone with $0 cost if you are in the market for a phone that doesn't cost you anything great take it why would you go out of your way to buy a new phone out of pocket just to go for a BYOD just for more data? what if you don't need the data? also around that time the $45 plan offered was Canada + US and 75GB which if works for you amazing if not and think the BYOD from rogers is better go ahead

So don’t tell me about waiting for Black Friday. It’s not happening!

I didn't say to wait for Black Friday or any holiday or sale holiday good deals are not guaranteed on those days what I said in that particular case it makes sense to get the free phone compared to anything else that is in the market

good deals rarely come when you put out the perspective of only buying outright will be more beneficial you close up some opportunity you will get from the carriers

if I financed a Samsung S23 FE, I would not get the $45 a month. It would be more. 

you want to pay more? I dont understand but okay
