One of the major points that I like about the new rules, is that you can terminate your contract after two years with no cancellation fees. You would only owe what is left on the device itself.

As a Canadian wireless user, I find certain things to be kind of unfair to the consumer. One of them being, the 3 year contract. Pretty much every mobile telecom here does 3 years. And I swear, we must be the last country on the planet that does. Yes, I know that we have less people per square inch, spread across this huge land. But 3 years is a long time. One could argue that it is the subsidy of the phone that makes it cheaper in the end. But I think if the two year contract cost was a little higher, it would work out better in the end. Contacts like this suck, when you run into problems and the only way out is to pay. Two years is a respectable number.

To clarify though, the CRTC isn’t saying that Rogers, Telus, Bell,etc, have to do away with 3 year contracts. Just that at two years, you won’t have to pay those dreaded fees they charge for canceling the contract. Most of them now let you pay off a tab.

New rules:
Terminate their wireless contracts after two years without cancellation fees, even if they have signed on for a longer term.
Cap extra data charges at $50 a month and international data roaming charges at $100 a month to prevent bill shock.
Have their cellphones unlocked after 90 days, or immediately if they paid for the device in full.
Return their cellphones, within 15 days and specific usage limits, if they are unhappy with their service.
Accept or decline changes to the key terms of a fixed-term contract (i.e., two-year), and receive a contract that is easy to read and understand.

The new rules don’t come into effect until December 2 2013. And that is only new contracts.
