i just called them about 30 mins ago and they told me it was VERY LIKELY that the price of the data plans would be brought down and a chance that an unlimited data plan would be introduced, apparently none of the plans they have up one there sites are set in stone yet and the final plans will be announced on july 10 the day before it comes out, also they said it is likely that the prices will be lowered later on too.~

Please call ROGERS at 1877-764-3772, they need more voice feedback – they record all conversations. Emails get discarded and do not get read.

The Customer Rep I talked to was aware of the anger about the iPhone, but I was the first person to call about it!!! On July 4rd, a whole week after they announced their plans!!!! That needs to change!!

Thanks for helping out!

Best way to take action: vote with your wallet — don’t buy one, and tell everyone else not to buy one.

This is the only effective way to protest in a free market economy.

Who’s got the guts, eh?

Rogers has done it again! No UNLIMITED Data plan for iPhone

Well Rogers has done it again, showing it’s yellow monopolistic teeth! 2GB of Data per month with the $115 Package? This is highway robbery! Are these corporate bloodsuckers for real?

All this is stemming from he fact that there are no competition for Rogers in Canada! No other GSM Service Provider! I was planning to at least buy 3 iPhone 3Gs, but I changed my mind! No iPhone till Rogers stops this draconian pricing for their data plan! What is hard to understand is this: Why Rogers has such a problem with DATA? Why? At least can they stop issuing decrees and actually explain to their clients why they are so stingy with their data bandwidth? May be also explain to us why the majority of Service Providers selling iPhone can sell their phones with an unlimited data plan?

Only 2GB a Month? This is a disgrace and it shows what Rogers really thinks about their Canadian Customers! They truly think that we are stupid & ignorant and that we neither know – nor are we capable of learning anything! Well I have news for you, Rogers: WE ARE NOT! I am canceling my plans for purchasing 3 iPhone 3G, until they offer UNLIMITED Data Plan! I am sure that most people, after finding out what Rogers is really doing, will cancel their plans as well. So I guess it was all for nothing to wait a full year for the arrival of iPhone to Canada!

Knowing about Rogers underhanded decision not to offer UNLIMITED data plan, Apple should have NEVER given iPhone sells rights to Rogers in the first place! Unlimited Data has been the cornerstone of Apple’s agreement for allowing a Service Provider to sell iPhone. Rogers held out for a full year, knowing that they have the monopoly on GSM market, and Apple gave up, which is very uncharacteristic of Apple. I guess Apple doesn’t care about their it’s Canadian Clients either!

I won’t be signing up for this either…but if Fido offers me a decent plan when I come back in August, then I’ll consider it.
