The saying, “monkey see, monkey do” fits nicely with the carriers in Canada. When one makes a drastic change, others will follow. Case in point, Rogers offered their $30/6GB data plan for all of Canada yesterday (instead of just Quebec), and today, Telus has done the same. Who wants to bet money Bell is up next?
On their website, you’ll see a ‘Limited Time Promotion’ where Telus customers can get the coveted $30/6GB data plan. There are a couple notes in the fine print:
1. Cannot be combined with any other voice and data plan or data add-on. Additional usage will be charged at 5¢/MB. Tethering included.
2. Offer valid until September 30, 2011, for new and existing clients activating or renewing on a month to month, 1, 2 or 3 year service agreement.
The offer expires on September 31, 2011. With both Rogers and Telus now bringing back these large data plans to the masses, is a September iPhone 5 announcement imminent? Oh, and you can guarantee these plans will be ‘extended’ past their promotional dates, as always.
Let us know if you’re going to jump on this ‘limited time offer’!

I got the promotional 6 gig plan from Telus last summer (the “buy a 1 gig or greater plan and get 5 bonus gigs”) when I got my iPhone 4, and it’s just tremendous. Knowing that you will, effectively, never reach your data cap limit is a good feeling. Most I’ve ever used in a month is 2.5 Gigs, and that was this month on vacation Canada with 2 iPod Touch’s tethered to my iPhone for a week.

Wow!!! I called them yesterday evening and they denied and refused to give it to me and it was still the old 1 GB info when I checked their web site this morning. Gotta give them a call again.
So worth it. The 6GB for $30 deal is the only thing that we have over carriers in the US. It’s unfortunate that it is a timed deal, but reassuring that every carrier offers it now every year.
I would recommend anyone who has gone over their 500MB or pays for more than 500MB switch to it ASAP. It’s really nice to not have to worry about mobile data usage and also not have to pay through the nose to do so.

Just wait for a bit. Last year Telus integrated the 6GB plan into their existing $55, $65, etc offers.

I’ll be getting it if the iPhone 5 comes put before sept. 30th when I upgrade from the 3GS. I have at the moment 18 months left so by sept it should be at 16 months times that by $15/month upgrade fee which equals to around $240 to upgrade early.

Just changed my plan to this. Thanks for the heads up Gary!!!
No, I don’t think there is anything you can do because the plan you have is an individual plan with voice and data, and what they are offering is “add on”. Unless you are willing to switch to a separate voice plan and then add the data plan.
