Good good. I only checked the iPhone pages and data plan page. Cheers!

I was thinking exactly the same thing...but then i thought, so is everyone else. With the expected sell out and no idea what their stock refresh rates will be like, I may have to go on launch day. If they sell out, I want to make sure I can get one before the Aug 31 deadline for the promo plan.I think this has put me over the edge... depending on how much nickle and diming they are going to do on this 30$ addon I will be getting one. Not on launch day... but maybe a week or 2 after.
My Razr last night has decided that whenever I turn it on it wants to turn off right away... so I really do need a new phone... wanted to wait for new GSM people though.. was hopeing the Razr with a broken screen would hold out...

*acceptance of Twinkie contained within implies agreement to 3-year term of eating and/or digesting and/or passing of said Twinkie. Additional Twinkie can be purchased after a period of one year. Twinkie prices will vary depending on fair market value. Rogers reserves the right to charge a premium on said twinkie. Fair Market Value is decided by Rogers based on whatever we feel a twinkie might be worth to the vast majority of Canadians. If you're hungry enough, a twinkie might be worth, oh, I dunno...$250. If you prefer, you may subscribe to our Twinkie Flex Rate, in which you are free to purchase only a portion of a twinkie at a reduced cost. You may purchase 1/100 the length of the twinkie (a slice approx. 5mm thick) for only $30. Value for Twinkie increases the larger the slice you purchase, up to a maximum of $250. If you intend to chew your Twinkie, we recommend you subscribe to our mastication plan. Passing of Twinkie will result in a $75 Fecal Processing Fee, plus an additional charge for weight of said stool. Rogers is not responsible for separating the Twinkie fro anything else in said stool. Twinkie stool will be weighed as presented and rounded up to the next closest pound. (Yes, we charge by the pound.) Thank you for enjoying your Rogers Twinkie. Go fu¢k yourselves, Canada.

Anyone have any tips on my getting the cheapest voice plan possible?
If you are an existing customer, call their retentions dept.Anyone have any tips on my getting the cheapest voice plan possible?
I have been with Fido for 9 years and couldn't get that out of them. I have basically the same, but 300 minutes and my evenings start at 7 and I pay $30. They had some EPP plans that were decent for a while, but I kept missing the window to call.If you are a new customer, there is not so much you can do...
But if you a re an existing customer, telling them you want to leave for Telus or Bell and they will switch you to the retention dept where they will give you a lot to keep you as a customer...
Actually, as far as I know, the best retention plan available (almost the same everywhere) is :
200 mimutes daytime
Unlimited night and weekend (beginning à 6 PM, ending at 8 AM)
Caller ID
Call fowarding
Voice mail
Conference call
...
for 20 $ a month + 911 and access fee.
If you are an existing customer, call their retentions dept.
Couldn't hurt to call in and ask I suppose. Call their customer service line and press the button to cancel service, this will put you through to their retention dept. Depending on how long you have been with them, even as pay as you go, they might willing to offer you something. I would suggest telling them that you are considering switching from Pay as you Go to a contract, but that you want to know the best contract they can offer and that you are also considering cancelling with them and considering Bell/Telus for your new contract, depending on who gives you the best offer.I am existing... but on Pay and Go Unlimited Evenings / Weekends Option
I think VisualVoiceMail still requires that you have an active VoiceMail service. otherwise, where are your messages being stored and retrieved from. Also, the $30/6GB plan does not include Visual Voice Mail, so even if you have VoiceMail now, it will be another $8 to get VVM.If you get a cheap voice plan that doesn't include voicemail and 6GB for $30, will Visual Voicemail still work? Or do you have to pay extra for that?

Okay, so now people are caving because Rogers is throwing you a tiny bone?
So you are looking at something like $25 for 250 minutes talk time +$30 for data + $8 for visual voice mail + $7 for caller id + $5 for text messaging for a total of $75 plus taxes and that plan also does not include any WiFi Hotspot access which will cost you an additional $24 for 600 minutes of Hotspot use at Starbucks etc. With that added you are at $99 which is a bit better than the previous plan at $100 in terms of data but with far less talk time.
Only from what I have read today at Macnn and Appleinsider. I believe this number is from Rogers statements last week regarding a la carte options.I've seen reference to the $8 for VVM in this thread. Is there a link to this information. Has it been confirmed?
Cheers.
You people are so blind. All you see is a number of $30 and 6gb. Do the math, it's still a rip-off after you add features and tax. All Rogers is doing is putting a better spin on it, it's called marketing and it's meant to fool you which apparently it has.
We'll see how many of you are pissing an moaning when your first bills come in at over $100 a month.
I did all the math for my circumstance. $81.32 for $25 unlimited local incoming calls, $30 6GIGs of data, $15 for CID/VM, $6.65 SAS fee, $.50 911 fee and 5% GST. As I mentioned above, I don't use much text messaging. 6 gigabytes of data is unlimited as far as I'm concerned, frankly I'd be surprised if I use even 1 gig.
