Starting June 9, 2009, any activation as a new customer or upgrade to either the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G “S” (coming June 19, 2009), is automatically eligible for the $30 6GB iPhone Data Plan until July 31, 2009! This plan runs on a 3 year contract and must be tied to another select voice plan. So it is select Voice Plan + 6GB Data plan under a 3 year contract.
The Details
With the 6GB Data plan and a select Voice plan or a bundled Voice/Data plan:

It’s also worth pointing out that this plan will allow tethering.
What most of us are waiting for is the 3GS pricing for people who bought the 3G last July.
8GB iPhone 3G will cost you $99.99 ($149.99 without an eligible plan)
if you don’t get the plan can you get a pay as you go type option or something?
No.
Anything to do with iPhone = 3 year contract
this just made me think about the thing I read in the Winnipeg Free Press that gave me a good chuckle:
“The 16-gigabyte version of the 3G S will be C$199, while the 32-gigabyte version will be $299, both on a three-year contract. Rogers will also offer the phones without a three-year contract. Rogers will also cut the price of the eight-gigabyte 3G phone to $99 with a three-year contract on June 19 when the new phones are released.”
w/o 3 year contract? laughable. lol.
Why is it laughable? If you don’t mind paying the non-subsidized price for the device they’ll gladly give it to you without a contract.
Called rogers to upgrade to the 6 gig $30 a month and cant find it in the system
Great that they now have this! But it looks like the $15 visual voicemail package is gone?
The fact that I have to renew my contract is ridiculous. I just called customer relations to know if there’s a workaround, to no avail. Once again Rogers made me a mad customer.
I’m glad the 6GB plan is back, I phoned Rogers and signed up for up this morning. I’m not going to let it go this time.
Hmm.
$30 for 6GB
$35 for 500MB, VVM, unlimited texts, ect…
I actually can’t decide!
Will Fido offer it too? I just don’t like Rogers… well, there systeme acces fees!
Again, those sneaky 3 year contracts are still involved 😛 lol
It is a good deal though.
Well i went to rogers.
Since i had the $60 iphone package i had to get rid of it and get a $30 voice deal and get the 6 gig deal. Also got the $20 visual mail, id and txt. used to be $15 but since the iphone uses sms soon it got priced higher. used to pay $8 extra for caller id and the iphone 60 so now im up to 80 instead of 68. wanted the 6 gig so bad so oh well
What about MMS? Is that included in this plan?
6GB is data. Data is not messaging.
Only data.
I’m kinda lost… How come I need to turn Edge (Which is data right?) on in order to send MMS with SwirlyMMS? It uses Data and I get charged. Something to do with my plan? I don’t have a contract with Rogers (Free:)) and data plan either LOL Just always have/use WIFI.
MMS is with a different option. you have data plan voice plan and… i dont know the extra stuff
Does somebody know if we can use the data plan for Skype or we need to unlock the phone… I know that AT&T does not allow it, but what about Rogers?
That is an excellent question. Apple has said 3.0 supports voip but it depends on the carrier. They should allow it, we are paying very high prices for data and should be able to decide what to do with it.
Who in any right mind would get the old 16GB for just $20 less than the 3G S?
The person in the wrong mind… 🙂
I tried to add the 6GB/$30 plan last night to my iPhone and Rogers could not add the plan. They told me their systems were not updated and to call back tomorrow. I called today and was asked to call back at 9am EST to speak with a data plan specialist. Called back only to be told that the web site is wrong and you can not add the 6GB/$30 plan until June 19, 2009. Rogers needs to get their act together and update their web site – this is very frustrating.
I called them yesterday told me they couldnt do it so i went to the store. i had the iphone $60 plan and couldnt add the 6 gig $30 plan cause i had that plan. so i changed everything i had and now everything is good. So they lied to you because it is now available go to a store make them call rogers
Go in store. They’ll add it in less than 30 seconds
What do you guys think about renewing the three years contract for the data plan? I’m hesitating big time here. I hope they offer some decent option to upgrade the phone at some point, because in 2012 mine will be worn off and probably very slow compared to what’s out there.
Oh and everybody who’s been said the plan is not available yet, they were very ready to sell it to me yesterday, even talked to Customer Relations.
I just scrapped my old fido plan of 250 plus evenings and weekends and got 100 minutes and 6 gb, rest the same for $5 extra . 3 year recommit but I was only 6 months in. If you can tether you can skype with your laptop, so why not right from the phone?
How long do you think we’ll have to sign up for the $30 for 6GB? I’m with another carrier & my contract comes up mid-August. Think it will still be on offer then? Anyone remember how long Rogers had the same offer up for last time?
SOMEONE PLEASE REPLY
How long will this 6GB/$30 promo last? I plan to get the iPhone 3GS in early July… will I still be able to get this data plan?
Its until further notice.
Id expect until August
there are three brothers: Robbers (Rogers), Hell (Bell), and Anus (Telus). Choose the one that suits you.
the catch: teethering “UNTIL 2010”, and then you are baked by Robbers. Then you’ll have all these GBs but won’t be able to do anything with them for full two last years of your 3yrs contract with Robbers
