Thanks! Will wait as don’t want to pay $55.
[ETA: if you can wait, see what the mods can do for you. No point in buying an add-on if they're able to switch you to $30 right away for $5. As everyone says, "no guarantee, just a suggestion" 🙂 ]
Subject to the others contradicting me :), be sure to book the change to $30 plan _before_ next renewal date. You can order the change now, to take effect "on next billing date". I think there may be issues (bug) with that but it's the recommended way. Or perhaps they will recommend you do it the day _before_ your next renewal, effective immediately, so you pay double for 1 day of service. I just learned of the bug so I'm flagging this for others to provide better info.
HOWEVER, I do have a couple of suggestions you might find useful for the next month. I assume you're going from $25 for (province-wide calling + international text) to $30 for (Canada-wide calling + international text + 500MB data)? Are you doing it for the included LD, or the data, or both? There are relatively inexpensive add-ons (that never expire) that can get you through this month for <$30. 🙂
There are 2 LD add-ons for $8 (200min of LD Canada-Canada and Canada-US), and for $15 (400min of LD Canada-Canada, Canada-US, and Canada-(15 countries)). That would give you the Canada-wide calling this month. If you have any add-on minutes left when you do switch to $30 plan, they would still work for calling from Canada to US and those other countries (the latter only for the $15 add-on).
There are 2 data add-ons for $10 (200MB) and $30 (1GB) that also never expire while your account is alive. You might want one of those, either 200MB if you don't need much data, or the 1GB if you think you'll need the full 500MB after this month. This month they will be at 4G speed, and when you have the $30 plan the add-ons will be at 3G speed.
Only you can decide if it's worth paying for an add-on, but even getting both may be better value than paying double (which you already rejected, correctly IMHO).
