Rogers Notifying Customers of iOS 5 Download Availability via SMS

Rogers has started to send out text messages to customers notifying them of iOS 5 and its availability for download, on October 12th. Apple announced this date yesterday at their Let’s Talk iPhone event.

The last time Rogers sent out a text it was to promote their Rogers Reservation System, to allow customers to reserve the iPhone by paying a $40 deposit online via their My Rogers account.

Did you get this text?

Thanks @shanekingerski!

No txt. And is Rogers going to offer early upgrade promotional pricing to those of us that have been iP4 users from the beginning?

No text, Fido customer.

Hell, I’m a 3GS user since 1 week after they were available, when I checked yesterday I wasn’t eligible to upgrade until January!! Do we have to call retentions to force the issue?

I’d like to know that too, as I called yesterday and the woman told me it comes out on the 14th and that i should be able to pre-order it on my online account, which then i said it wasn’t listed there, so she put me on hold, and came back and said to check back in like a week. Considering they(Fido/Rogers) have yet to update there pricing on all there iPhones, my guess will be October 7th the site will be updated with all current pricing and able to use the online reservation through there system.

If you qualify for the hardware upgrade the text from Rogers is different, advising you to log-in on Friday to pre-order your iPhone 4S
