Cell Phone Plans versus Canadian Cell Phone plans

This is more of a rant and should really belong to my other blog .

Rogers requires that I pay my bill every month approximately 80$. That 80$ is taxes, a 911 fee, a $35/month family plan, a $6.95 monthly fee...etc...and somehow - this adds up to $80.
According to one rep - I was able to suspend my account until further notice...according to 3 others - that is not possible.
According to a friend with a Bell account - she was able to suspend it while living outside of Canada. According to another - his friends moved outside of Bell's coverage and there was no cancellation fee.
Stupid me for closing my Bell account (awful service and no chance to upgrade because the charge was broken and no replacement to be found in the HRM).

Let me break down my phone bill.
6,9 Euro Cents/month = monthly fee
6 Euro Cents/text or /minute

If the bill doesn't hit 20 Euros in the first month....then you don't get one. Once it hits 20 Euros or after 2-3 consecutive months of it being below 20E...THEN you get one...and you're NOT charged interest unless you don't pay the bill received on time.
Oh and to call Canada? 4 Cents/minute.

Look at your bill...what do you see? Just saying - you're getting ripped off pretty badly (unless you have pay as you go - not sure how that works entirely).
