Mobile phone users in Canada can now enjoy cheaper monthly plans on the airwaves of major carriers in the country, including Bell, Rogers, TELUS or Virgin Mobile.

All of these carriers unveiled plans to make their $60 plans available for only $55 per month, following announcements concerning the waving of the $35 activation charges they usually have in store for users.

Last week, Canadian wireless carriers announced that they would have the $35 activation charge dropped for a limited period of time.

Bell users would benefit from the deal until March 16th, while Rogers and TELUS users would enjoy a credit of the $35 activation fee until March 31st.

The deal should apply to all those who commit to a new contract 2 or 3-year agreement with one of the wireless carriers before the said periods of time expire.

This week, there are even better news for Canadian phone users as these carriers announced the said price slash for their $60 plans.

Bell, for example, reduced the Fab 10 60 plans to $55/month until March 31st (with unlimited nationwide talk with any 10 numbers, Unlimited text, picture and video messaging, Unlimited local evenings, 1 GB data with Unlimited Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, 200 anytime minutes, and more).

Rogers has just made a similar move, with its $60 Smartphone plan being called now the “$55 My10 Competitive Response” plan, and with the offer available until March 31st.

For $55 per month, Virgin users would be able to enjoy the benefits of the $60 Smartphone Combo Plan which includes 10 National Buddies, Unlimited Text and Picture Messaging, 1 GB of Data, International Text, and more.

Of course, it is quite interesting to learn that all of these carriers came up with the same offering at the same time, though it might not come too much as a surprise for some (via MobilSyrup).
