Keeping up with the latest technology may mean your cellphone bill is a little lighter, according to a new report by Wall Communications.
The study found higher-volume voice, text and data plans have become 15 per cent cheaper over the past several years, while low-cost voice only plans have increased by about 16 per cent over the same time period.
The report shows the federal government’s attempt to attract a fourth national wireless carrier, by reworking regulations and offering incentives, has helped with the cheaper, higher volume bills.
The National Post reports Ottawa is pushing Rogers Communications Inc., BCE Inc., and Telus to come up with cheaper, entry level cellphone plans.
Rogers Communications is the parent company of 660News.
