Rogers iPhone information: activation, data plans, sign-up process, etc.

I'd be curious to know what Rogers' is planning to do for people with a 1.0 iPhone? Or will they pretend we don't exist?

Also, here is Rogers' 3G coverage map. The Fido one given earlier is broken for me:

Rogers Communications - Wireless, Digital Cable TV, Hi-Speed Internet, Home Phone

I am just about vibrating in excitement now..thanks for the info.

I will have to shelve the Roger's hate-on I have been having

...at least for now...

gimme a few months.

It has already been said that Rogers will refuse to activate old iPhones anymore. Rogers staff who do activate one are subject to being fired on the spot.

I am confused on the terminology; it says "$45 – Unlimited Data with personal and corporate e-mail"; I think this seem as though if you want to set up an email address(es) on your phone you are going to pay $45. $30 will let you use webmail.

Nah, this just refers to the MS Exchange/ActiveSync integration features. This is the price you'd be paying to get push email. You'll be able to do everything else with the $30 plan.

Not really unless I'm missing something. The plan I have is $20/month + $7 call display(rip off) + $6.95 system access fee(rip off) + $0.50 911 fee. With all that stuff and taxes it is always around $40 and that's if I don't use other things like SMS which isn't included.

My bet is Rogers' so called unlimited plan will have limits in the fine print somewhere like 200MB a month is "unlimited" because you can access it an unlimited number of times you want or some other cop out. I hope not but either way it's certainly a lot better than what it was.

Right above the pricing section in that memo explains what the enterprise data plan entails. It is for users that use corporate email, need to run business applications, etc.

Yeah that kind of sucks. The EDGE one never officially existed here but I don't see why they'd screw over their customers by not allowing them to get good plans. EDGE is slower = less data used and they can sign up people on contacts AND they don't have to subsidize the phone because I already bought it. If they won't let me do that eventually then I guess mine will become my development phone and the new one will be a regular use one.

No, data is data. They have corporate/business internet and cell phone plans already but you can conceivably use the residential and regular accounts for business. They're not going to be able to know the difference between my personal domain xyz.com and a business domain abc.com
