Rogers Raises White Flag, Improves iPhone Plans

Wow. I thought US carriers and plans were a ripoff. They charge for incoming/outgoing texts. Unlimited text is like $20 extra on a regular plan. But Canadian voice plans seems so much more expensive and add to that the long distance crap. Pretty much all US voice plans are Nation wide. I guess it was this way in the US 10 years ago. Time for the Canadian companies to catch up.

Canada sucks for its archaic, sovereigntist ideals. For this, we have to suffer paying high prices to companies that do not have to compete. I agree.....let US companies in.....airlines, cellular, television and whomever else that offers a fair deal.

AT&T is still way above rogers $199 for 8GB (black) and $299 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required. unlimited data and talk plan for $129 month. Let U.S. carriers into Canada, then we can say goodbye to taking up the A** by canadian carriers.

Unlimited texting and visual voicemail are $8 each? Not from what I've heard. I was never notified of any unlimited texting, nor that visual voicemail would cost extra. Whatever compared to the usual iPhone plans it is a MUCH, MUUUCH better value, so I'll be getting mine on Friday. Oh and Gilbert, for a limited time until August 31st $30 a month instead buys you the full 6GB. Which you'll be able to take advantage of for the entire 3 years as long as you sign up IN-STORE before August 31st. It was just announced this morning so not surprising that you didn't know.

horse-pucky! Rogers didn't cave. They're smarter than that. All that they did was offer a shiny bauble to those transfixed by the iPhone. They're trying to divide and conquer the very large opposition to their pricing. This so-called 'caving in' is actually just a short-term sale. As of September 1st, the prices go right back to their original exhorbitant rates. In addition, the only way you can get this 'price break' is by signing a 3-year contract. Rogers isn't requiring that out of the goodness of their hearts. Within a year there will be several new players on the market depending on where you live. If you lock in now for 3 years, you'll have a couple of months of satisfaction and then you'll start kicking yourself. By the end of 3 years, all your friends and family will be kicking you as well. Don't be tricked by this!

This is wrong again. rogers will allow you to keep you voice plan and add a sperate Data plan although they recommend that you setup an iphone plan for the best experience. The plans mentioned are 30$ for 300MB - 100$ for 6G
