Hi all,
My BlackBerry is dying. So, I'm looking to buy a cheap cell phone out right for Rogers network. I don't care about locked, unlocked, Android, Windows, etc, because my usage is 95% text and 5% voice.
Which brand do you recommend? CanadaComputers has BLU phones (Android). Microsoft Stores has them too. Any feedback on these BLU phones?
You might consider the Nexus 5. If you've been with Rogers for a while, you may be able to get one for free. Back in late 2013, just after the N5 was released, I was able to get one for $100. At the moment, they're "free" with some plans. So, give Rogers a call and tell them you've been with them for however long you've been with them and tell them you want to upgrade. You may wind up with a free phone, without having to take out a new plan. However, it would also be a good time to compare your current plan with whatever they're offering. They might be able to offer a cheaper one etc. I could have got another phone for free, but I wanted the N5 and am quite happy with it. http://www.rogers.com/web/link/wirelessBuyFlow?forwardTo=PhoneThenPlan&productType=normal&productId_Detailed=NEXUS5BLK
