If you're going for a plan, remember to add $7-8 in hidden fees to get the real price. They never tell you about it, but every carrier charges "network access fee" or something like that, so after hidden fees and tax, a $20 plan actually costs $30/mo.

Maybe that's obvious, but I've known more than one person who got suckered into a plan because they didn't know about the hidden fees.

You can go into any Rogers store and buy a sim card for $25; they'll give you a number to call for activation. Don't activate online - the system is buggy and your request might not go through (happened to me).

Then you can choose whether you want a plan, prepaid, or whatever else. Also, if you want to port your previous cell # over, you can ask them to do that as well.
