How We Cut Our Phone and Internet Bills in Half (Ep 118)
Have you looked at your Canadian phone or internet bill lately and thought "how did it get this high?" You're not imagining it. These bills creep up, little by little, until one day you're paying $50 more a month than you were two years ago and you can't quite remember when that happened.
This episode is about what happens when you finally get fed up enough to do something about it.
What we talk about:
Sherry walks through the full story of how she cut her Rogers internet and cell phone bills almost in half. We cover everything from the first phone call that went nowhere to the moment she ended up saving more than she expected, in a conversation she thought was just about cancelling her internet.
What you'll learn
- Why calling the cancellation department is your most powerful move (and why calling regular customer service is usually a waste of time)
- How to use a competing offer to negotiate even if you'd rather stay with your current provider
- How Sherry ended up saving money on her cell phone bill in the same call she made to cancel her internet
- The automated billing discount she didn't know she was missing (and how to check if you're missing it too)
- New Canadian regulations that protect you when switching cell phone providers
- How to figure out if your bill has been quietly creeping up and what to do about it
