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

Well, I am surprised at the pricing of Data. $30 for unlimited? must be cap??

Was expecting a staggered amount of data ie. $30 for $300 meg $50 for 600 meg etc

I'm not sure where the OP got this, whether he made it himself, or got it from an ill informed source, but it's fake. It's just the 6 page AT&T memo that was leaked a few days ago, with every instance of the word AT&T changed to Rogers. Sorry to burst everyones bubble.

Some are saying this is the AT&T release just modified to look like a Rogers one.
*** beat me to it Slicecom***

Does anyone really think Robbers is going to give us unlimited data when they have a monopoly?

When Telus switches to GSM in 2010, and if AT&T is allowed to come up here, then we'll finally get some competition and lower prices.

$40 voice + $ 30 data + $6 after 6pm calling + $12 voicemail/text bundle + $7 system access fee = a freaking lot of money.

I brought this point up on the first page. However, it appears only to be a side effect of Apple's strongarming of all its partner carriers. Remember how all those press releases by all those carriers (Rogers included) said that the iPhone would be coming to all of them "later this year"? You think they all coincidentally repeated that phrase? (btw it isn't word-for-word identical -- there are some relevant sections added which are specific for Rogers and some sections removed which were specific to AT&T)

As well, back on HoFo we already have confirmation from at least one more Rogers staffer saying that he also received this memo today.

Maybe it will include the voicemail and text...or if I can keep my current plan and add in the data?

Cool, I wasn't sure if anyone had mentioned it yet as I didn't read the whole thread.

I hope you're right! If this is the real plan, I will be crying tears of joy!

yes, we all must wait until Rogers officially confirms this (as we all already know), but I'm just saying that this isn't DOA just because it looks like the AT&T memo.

"Rogers and Apple today announced that the iPhone 3G will be available in Canada on July 11. "

If they received the memo today, then Apple/Rogers released a press release with wrong information in the first sentence.

And there's zero chance this was sent out to staffers on the day of the announcement, because I would definitely know.
