    > Recently, Rogers/Fido completed an update to their free “My Account” iPhone applications.

    Are you positive about that? Unless you are seeing an update I’m not seeing, the latest Rogers My Account app was posted July 27th, 2010. Not exactly recent.

    I got all excited because I thought they had finally posted a retina display update.

    Go look.

    Open the app!

    Oh yeah, good catch. I thought it was against Apple’s rules to bypass the App Store update system like that, but I guess there is nothing they can do if it’s just a shell for a webapp, which is what I’m assuming.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Does this allow for business plans? It wasn’t available previously. Always came up blank.

    Business lines work for me, but mine is not a corporate account.
    Further, you don’t need a data plan to use this, if you download the app via PC or over wifi, the actual operation of the app works just fine and displays data, even without a data plan.

    The app is just a container to display a webapp. They updated the webapp not the actual downloadable container used to house the webapp.

    Similar to the itunes and app store. Apple can upgrade those without a need to push a new app.

    Has anyone ever noticed that it doesn’t update every 4 hours? I have a 6 gig data plan, and towards the end of my billing cycle (a week left) i tethered hardcore. it did not show up for more than 4 days. After my billing cycle had ended, I received text msgs saying I had used 80% of my usage, then 100% of my usage… and then than I had gone over my plan by over $50.

    Anyone else have similar issues? I relied on its representation in the app!

  • Wuju

    Download the update. Great stuff.

    I got the same thing. 2 days after the end of my billing cycle my usage had still not updated and I started getting text messages about my usages hitting 80% etc.

    I had the same issue. I called to complain and got the overages removed. There is an issue with the data reporting. It is happening days after in some cases.

  • delayed

    When I called, they said they’d put the overages in half. I still think it’s bull though. they fully removed ur overage? how high was it?

  • Digital Native

    The long-distance calling thing isn’t working. It says that calls I receive from my local area are considered long distance…

  • Suman

    It’s also good to note that the use of this app does not use up any data in your allotted usage.

    I love the new features. Great work.
    The long-distance part is very handy

    Rogers has updated their MyAccount app this way in the past without pushing an iTunes update. This type of update forces everyone to use the new features

    it doesnt work all that great for me, try telling it your location, and then choose incoming call, it should say, that it won’t be long distance, but instead mine says that it will be. And I am in the city limits so its weird.
