I've held off asking this for a while thinking that something might change, but why does the 24-month Red+ plan cost $169 per month and the Red+ plan cost $129 per month when the only difference between the plans appears to be that Red+ Super gets you an extra 500MB?

500MB for $40? Am I missing something else that explains the price difference?

Similarly, why does the 1-month Red+ Essentials plan cost $69 per month for 4.5GB whereas the Red+ costs $99 per month for 5GB?

I saw a "Red Lite" plan advertised at Albany mall the other day, which looked quite similar (and $10 cheaper) to the Red+Essentials plan I'm on now.

I think the most obivious answer is because they can. The second is somebody will send a lot more for a little extra.

Maybe? I can't see it mentioned anywhere though.

The Red+ plan until recently only had a 5gb data allowance. It was upgraded to 7.5Gb, but the Red+ Super plan was not adjusted. Not sure if that's still in the pipeline, but I imagine it will either be upgraded as well eventually or phased out as there is no value in it over the Red+ plan (at the moment).

I saw in the May edition of your store brochure it wasn't even mentioned so yeah maybe it will just disappear.

The 24 month terms do.

What happens to the plan I'm on now? Do I need to move from it?
