Rogers 6GB/$30 Smartphone Data Plan Quietly Extended!

By Gary Ng on October 3rd, 2008 84

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Hey boys and girls! After speaking to a few sources, it has been CONFIRMED that the 6GB/$30 data plan has been extended! It’s not on the Rogers or Fido website, but if you head into a Rogers/Fido store and inquire about it (nicely of course!), they can still add it to your account.

The option is still in the system and it’s been confirmed by a couple Rogers employees. So there you have it. If you missed the 6GB/$30 data plan boat, you have a limited time to jump on it! I was told that going into a store and asking about it might result in confused looks from employees, but not everybody knows about it. You could even try calling a CSR on the phone. This is “great” news for those still wanting the 6GB/$30 data plan, versus the new revised data rates! Get on it and let me know if you were able to get the plan!

I use the original iPhone on Fido since Jan ’08…

Fido messed up my bill last month and started charging me for data even though I have been on the 6gig/$30 plan since it came out. At first they wouldn’t Credit the charges >$400 after speaking with a ‘supervisor’ they agreed, with the understanding that the plan is not guaranteed to work with ‘non-fido’ phones and that if this were to happen again in the future they would not Credit me for any additional data charges.

Has anyone heard this?? I’m afraid the ‘supervisor’ just flipped the switch on me again???

nope i got denied, she will get written up (or so she says).

she offered me 60 dollars for 3 gig though or 80 dollars for 8 gig, however, the only good thing is it can be teathered to any 3g device.

Does this mean that in 1 day I got screwed (I had intended to activate this the other day and just procrastinated) and there is NO POSSIBLE WAY to get the 6GB/$30 plan??? That’s crazy. Not even a manager override is possible?

Come on people, this promotion has been out for 3 months. It’s nobody’s fault but your own if you decided to procrastinate and let it slip by.

And it’s definitely slipped … I gave them a call today, and the extension is – poof- gone.

C’est la vie – at least there’s WiFi.

Nah, its definitely gone. I changed my plan earlier today and got a pretty good deal through customer services and got the 1gig / $30 plan. The guy I was talking to was really cool, helped me out loads, and he said there was no option for that plan anymore. It was supposedly phased out at the end of September but you could still add it last week, but now… nothing…

X1zero ninja do u know I would go about adding the 6 gig plan on a fido account?
Any number or code I should call/use in getting it added to an account?
Thanks for your help. ( it’s for an iPhone 3g bought on Tuesday with the 1 gig plan $30)

Wish they would come up with much better plans to get more sales, unless they run short of iphone supply (so I heard). That’s why they’re charging more…

I’m pretty sure the 6GB data plan is now completely gone. Just canceled a 10yr account over it, so much for retention. And yes, I was very polite, respectful and patient. Until I see some real usage statistics, I just can’t see how 1-2GB is enough.
