Bell, Rogers, and Telus all offer true unlimited 5G plans at identical price points across every tier, so the decision comes down entirely to what each carrier includes. Bell bundles Crave Standard with Ads directly in every unlimited plan and now adds up to 10,000 Aeroplan points, with international roaming expanding to 83 countries and territories on the top tier. Rogers includes StreamSaver savings across a selection of streaming services plus Citytv+ free for 3 months, Uber One for 12 months, and Rogers Satellite at no extra charge. Telus offers Stream+ at $10/month for the first 3 months as a promotional add-on, ICI TOU.TV EXTRA at no cost for Quebec subscribers, and the only 5-Year Rate Plan Price Lock among the Big Three. Since pricing is now identical, the right choice depends entirely on which perks matter most to you.
Plans and pricing
All plans below are true unlimited 5G postpaid, no-contract plans. Fixed-cap plans are excluded. All three carriers are now priced identically at every tier.
All three carriers are now identically priced at $85/month outside Quebec and $60/month in Quebec at the base unlimited tier, rising to $100/month outside Quebec and $80/month in Quebec at the top tier. With no price difference to weigh, the comparison is entirely about perks. Bell is the only carrier that includes a streaming service outright - Crave Standard with Ads is part of every unlimited plan with no separate subscription needed. Bell also now includes up to 10,000 Aeroplan points on its $85 and $100 plans, and its top tier covers 83 countries and territories for roaming. Rogers does not include a streaming service but provides StreamSaver savings across multiple services, Uber One for 12 months, and Rogers Satellite at no extra charge. Telus offers the least in streaming but is the only carrier with a 5-Year Rate Plan Price Lock, and includes ICI TOU.TV EXTRA for Quebec subscribers.
Streaming perks compared
All three carriers are at the same price, so the streaming comparison is a direct trade-off between a service included outright (Bell), savings across multiple services (Rogers), and a short promotional add-on rate (Telus).

Who should choose which?
- You want a streaming service (Crave) included in your plan from day 1 with nothing extra to sign up for or pay
- You watch Crave or would subscribe to it anyway - getting it included at the same price as Rogers and Telus makes Bell the clear value winner on streaming
- You collect Aeroplan points and want to earn up to 10,000 points on the Ultra US/Mex or Intl Roaming plan
- You travel internationally and want the widest roaming coverage - Bell's top tier covers 83 countries and territories, more than Rogers (64) or Telus (68+)
- You want a free tablet or watch plan included on the Ultra tiers
- You already pay for multiple streaming services and want savings bundled across all of them via StreamSaver - at the same price as Bell, the discount on your existing subscriptions may add up to more value than Crave alone
- You want Uber One free for 12 months and Rogers Satellite access at no extra charge
- You want Caribbean roaming included in the base plan - Rogers is the only carrier to include it
- You need the lowest daily roaming add-on rate at from $3/day for travel beyond plan inclusions
- You want a free data-only SIM for a second device included on the Ultimate tier
- You are in Quebec and want ICI TOU.TV EXTRA included at no cost - no other Big Three carrier offers this
- Streaming value is less important to you than long-term price certainty - the 5-Year Rate Lock guarantees your monthly rate will not increase for 60 months, something Bell and Rogers cannot match
- You have existing Telus home services and qualify for the $15/mo bill credit for 24 months
- You want France roaming included even outside Quebec on the Explore tier
- You prefer the Koodo or Public Mobile sub-brands for family members on a tighter budget
Bell wins on streaming value - Crave Standard with Ads is included in every unlimited plan at no extra cost, and at the same $85/$60 QC price point as Rogers and Telus, that inclusion is a direct advantage for anyone who watches Crave. Bell also leads on international roaming reach (83 countries) and adds Aeroplan points as a loyalty perk. Rogers wins on streaming breadth and everyday perks - StreamSaver savings across multiple streaming services may add up to more value than Crave alone if you already subscribe to several services, and Uber One, Rogers Satellite, and Caribbean roaming in the base plan are perks neither Bell nor Telus match. Telus wins on long-term price certainty - the 5-Year Rate Plan Price Lock and ICI TOU.TV EXTRA for Quebec subscribers are advantages neither Bell nor Rogers offer at any price.
Since all three carriers are now priced identically, the decision is purely about perks. If you want a streaming service included now with no setup, Bell. If you already pay for several streaming services and want to save on all of them, Rogers. If you want your rate locked for five years or you are in Quebec, Telus.
