Rogers wireless subsidiary Chatr Mobile has launched a new data add-on option for customers on the company’s $25 per month unlimited province-wide talk plan. Here’s what you can get now:
$10 for 500MB ($0.05/MB overages)
$15 for 1GB ($0.05/MB overages)
So this means if you get the $25 per month plan, and add on 500MB data ($10), your plan would look like this for $35 per month:
Unlimited province-wide talk (Canada-wide is $0.25/min)
Unlimited incoming texts; 100 outgoing texts ($0.25 per additional)
Voicemail
500MB data
For new customers, if you sign up your credit card for auto-pay, you get $10 credit for the first 8 months (credits carry over), which can be redeemed towards 500MB of data.
For iPhone users that rely on free Wi-Fi, don’t use much data or make voice calls, this may be an option for a ‘cheaper’ wireless plan with decent coverage from Rogers. Back in May, Chatr expanded nationwide to 200 additional cities.
