Rogers Wirless... Get 6GB for $30 If activated before Aug 31

ok sure, this is all well and great, but what about after the "limited time" you think we'll still be able to convince them to give us that offering?

folks, let's not get too excited just yet ... we have no confirmation of the following:

1) can iphone "value packs" be added onto a voice plan + promo pricing (6 gb) package or will iphone users be forced to the lower value, regular "value" packs that have up to this point been available for other phones?

2) is visual voicemail included with this $30 data "promo"?

questions, questions ... although this is now looking more promising for canadians ...

1) You can add iphone value packs....$20 dollar one sounds good...10,000 texts, visual voicemail, call display

2) No voicemail in $30 dollar promo
 
incredible news people...a victory even!

totally worth it...6 GB is pretty much unlimited. Without tethering, I'd like to see someone go over that on an iPhone.

So, what's the BEST voice plan (i.e. best deal!) for a new robbers customer?
 
I think this is a modest victory and that consumers should continue the pressure. These crooks are still requiring a three year plan - this iPhone will be obsolete way before then. Limited time offer is another cynical lie - there are lots of people that cannot buy at launch because they are on plans that lock them into other devices for a while. Do they really intend to kill demand after the 31'st? These people just don't know how to be straight with their customers. Pathetic.
 
With Fido, its in EVERY FIDO STORE just called the one in Kitchener , ON @ Kingsway and they will offer it.

Go with FIDO Evnings start at 7pm instead of rogers 9 and u get billing by second


The good plan is prob the 30$ plan or the 35$

Agreed, but at least a lot of people will be able to take advantage of this. Surely they will see that sales are good and they'll extend it. Who knows?

I have to apologize also for the double posting here.

It's not like I don't plan on having a phone in the next 3 years, so as long as I can upgrade handsets I'm OK.

Does Fido have the same coverage as Rogers does?
 
Yeah, its Fido/Rogers network :)

Check out fido.ca and go to plans to see what plans they offer,

with 3 yr contract you get some bonus min

20$, 200 anytime minutes plus hidden fees.

Does the value pack include visual voicemail?

Mobile Backup (includes phone contacts only; compliant phone required)
 
oh man...Telus didn't take the bad news so well...
Since June 23rd I've been a free agent...contract expired.

Phone conversation went as follows:

Me: "I'd like to cancel my subscription".

Salesguy: "What? Why?"

Me: "iPhone".

Salesguy: "But Macs suck. They're not as reliable as PCs".

Me: "?"

Salesguy: "Are you aware that your monthly fees will quadruple with the iPhone?".

Me: "No, they won't quadruple"

Salesguy: "What specifically is drawing you to the iPhone?"

Me: "I don't know?"

Salesguy: "The HTC touch is 3 megapixels".

Me: "That's nice".

This went on for about 10 minutes.

You can't update your handset if you lock into a three year plan, unless you know something that I don't.
 
you can get an upgrade hardware upgrade after 1yr into your contract, or if you complain :) sooner due to retention

As of my 1-year anniversary into my current 3-year contract, I was eligible for an equipment upgrade.

Granted, the subsidies being offered for most upgrade phones are pretty crappy. I suspect (but don't know for sure) that the subsidies probably get bigger the further you get into the contract before you upgrade.
