You’ll need to head to a Best Buy store to get this Boxing Day deal
If you’re in the market for a new wireless plan, Best Buy might be your best option.
The tech retailer is advertising a $35/mo 100GB Canada/U.S. plan at Rogers, Bell, and Telus on its website. Best Buy specifies that customers can use the plan “in Canada and the United States,” and says it includes unlimited Canada/U.S. calling.
Unfortunately, that’s all the Best Buy website says about the plan. Some people who got the plan shared on Reddit that it’s only available for new activations and that existing providers won’t match it, meaning anyone who wants to take the offer will need to head to their nearest Best Buy and switch providers.
It’s also unclear whether customers will be on the hook for the $80 connection fee charged by Rogers, Bell, and Telus. (I’d say it’s likely — as a former Best Buy employee, I remember not being able to waive connection fees when I used to work there. Things may have changed in the years since, however.) Either way, a one-time $80 fee is easier to stomach on a plan as good as $35/100GB.
Overall, it seems like a solid deal if you can get it. The plan is way cheaper than anything listed on the Big Three carrier websites, and even beats out Freedom, which has so far led Boxing Week sales with top wireless offers like its $40/100GB Canada/U.S./Mexico plan. As a comparison, Rogers, Bell, and Telus charge $75/mo for a 100GB plan, so this Best Buy offer looks really good.
Speaking of other carriers, Best Buy’s website also highlights the aforementioned Freedom Mobile deal as well as other plans, including a $40/60GB Canada/U.S./Mexico offer at Fido, Koodo, and Virgin Plus (not offered on their respective websites) and a $75/200GB Canada/U.S. plan at Rogers, Bell, and Telus.
You can check out Best Buy’s website to learn more (not that there’s much info there anyway) or head to your local Best Buy to get the offer.
