In other words, you'll end up paying a little over $790 for the Galaxy S9 and $915 for the Galaxy S9+ if you go with AT&T. Compared to T-Mobile, that's a price increase of $70 and $75, respectively.

Rogers
For our Canadian readers, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Rogers will carry the Galaxy S9 and S9+. The amount you pay depends on which plan type you choose, with the pricing working out as follows:
- Premium+ Tab – $249 for the Galaxy S9 / $379 for the Galaxy S9+

You can get either the S9 or S9+ for as low as $0.93 after trading in an eligible device with activation on a 2-year Share Everything plan, but you'll need to either buy the phones in person or have them ship to your local Rogers store to take advantage of this.
As if that wasn't enough, Rogers is also offering a free Samsung Fast Wireless Charging Stand (a $90 value) with the purchase of a Galaxy S9/S9+ on select 2-year Share Everything Plans. Unlike the above promo, this is available both in-stores and online.
