Ick... I'm guessing this may have been requested by all the carriers. Apple has the power to stop a 3rd party vendor from providing 3G VoIP calls. Meanwhile there is Skype for Windows Mobile.

I'd be happy if there was a version of iSkoot (Skype using data to retrieve contacts and initiate calls and airtime to make the calls themselves) released for iPhone.

All your ranting about the CRTC? Typical ignorant consumer. Is it any wonder companies like Rogers don't care what you think? It's because you don't know what you are talking about!

Wow, do I feel like an idiot. Sorry. I really thought it was part of the CRTC. You're right, I was ill informed and I should have researched it a little more.
Everyone please disregard my posts about the CRTC. I made a big mistake and I apologize for it.

But it is part of the government, so complaining to your MLA about more competition could work.

Apple - iPhone - Feedback https://your.rogers.com/contact/contactus_main.asp Just for the record, I'm not trying to start a war here, I simply want to help people direct their feedback to the right place. ehMac is a great community, but we cannot expect Rogers/Fido/Apple to read our thoughts here. If we're not happy with the solution they've provided, we need to let them know.

If most Mac owners do the same and voice their displeasure with Apple and complain to Rogers/Fido I am sure they will revisit the plans. But if they meet their sales targets without protest they will get away with it...

Oh great, now I'm an Apple Fanbois, what the heck is a Fanbois? I can understand being called an Apple Fanboy, but an Apple Fanbois, is that some upper class French Canadian Apple Fanboy??? I'm not even French.

On the actual subject, Dona83 or someone who is buying an iPhone should ask if they can get unlimited data with the plan they choose with the iPhone like the US (ie show the Rogers employee the comparison chart above), and see. It can't hurt to ask and likely they'll say no, but you gave it a try.

As stated elsewhere, you aren't suggesting people write to a gmail address to complain about Rogers, are you? No thanks.

Hi. I'm exited for the new iPhone 3G and am planning on getting one. I'm just curious. Do you need to use those plans? Or can you use a plan that Rogers or Fido already had before the iPhone. Any other plan? Thanks

Please reply.
