Carriers

Remember when Rogers last posted about their iPhone 4 updates? On their Redboard, they told customers that stock would be arriving on Saturday, August 7th. Due to this information, many of you lined up outside Rogers stores hoping to get an iPhone 4. However, the exact opposite occurred. There was no stock. You wasted your...

It looks like waiting in line on iPhone 4 launch day (and even camping out overnight) has been paying dividends for early iPhone 4 adopters. As for everyone else, right now it looks like the iPhone 4 is sold out coast to coast. People have been waiting in line outside Apple Stores in Vancouver for...

If you haven't gotten your hands on an iPhone 4 yet, it is becoming quite the challenge to acquire one. People have been waiting in line at the Apple Stores here in Vancouver, hoping that stocks have arrived for unlocked iPhones. If you're looking for an iPhone 4 from Rogers, today is the day you...

As the summer comes to a close and the back-to-school seasons arrives, the Canadian wireless carriers have started to release their Student Plans. This week, Telus has finalized their student plans with two offers, both iPhone compatible. Telus Student Plans This summer, students have, among the other Telus plans, two specific student plans available to...

**This is an opinion piece by Chris Aceto, contributing writer.** I'm heading to California next week and I thought I'd plan ahead by calling Rogers and activating a US Data Pack. On the Rogers website I noticed some interesting plans on the Smartphone Data Plan page, namely the $40 travel plan. TRAVEL PLAN $40/mo 1...

Even though Canada seems to get technology last, we are definitely ahead of the curve when it comes to North American wireless speeds. Back in September 2009, Rogers (and Fido) was the first North American wireless network to launch an HSPA+ 21Mpbs network. At that time, AT&T, the exclusive iPhone provider in the USA, was...

Looks like Rogers needs to get a few more subscribers on its network, but if you help them out (*cringe*), you can score up to $500. Starting today (and expiring on September 3, 2010), any existing Rogers customers who have My5 plans or any new Rogers customers that were referred to Rogers by an existing...

Did you purchase an unlocked iPhone 4 from Apple? If you did, then you're going to have to change your SIM card number on Rogers.com, as your SIM won't fit into the microSIM slot on the iPhone 4. You could cut your original SIM down to size, but it's easier to just change your SIM...

The iPhone 4 launch was a huge success depending on how you acquired your iPhone. For those that purchased outright unlocked units from Apple Stores, your transaction was completed in a matter of minutes (including those that ordered online). I entered the Apple Store in Vancouver at 7:30am (after waiting in line all night) and...

To coincide with the iPhone 4 launch, and to match Rogers/Fido and Bell, Telus has also launched their own 6GB data plan. The Telus 6GB data plan is similar to the other carrier 6GB data offers in that it requires a 3-year agreement, however it is different by not being a standalone $30 feature like...

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on an iPhone 4 of my very own today and so far I'm pretty impressed. Over the past month I've had the opportunity to test an iPhone 4 on the Fido network, which was purchased in UK. I was amazed that everyone was freaking about reception issues...

The iPhone 4 launch is happening LIVE in Canada as we speak. Here in Vancouver, the line up is about 300 deep and Pacific Centre will open its doors at 6AM PST. Rogers released their iPhone 4 prices, then Bell, and now Telus. Here are the prices--which aren't a big surprise: 3 year contract pricing:...
