At WWDC 2010, Apple announced that the next iPhone, iPhone 4, is coming to Canada by the end of July. Apple also announced that the existing iPhone 3GS would be reduced in capacity to 8GB and offered for $99 on contract ($549 without contract). This week, Future Shop has made a series of price drops...

Way back in November 2009, Rogers and Fido launched two account management iPhone apps called "My Account". The “My Account” app allows Rogers/Fido customers to view the amount of minutes, data and messages that they have used so far in the month, the amount of remaining usage for the month and how many minutes/data/messages their...

In a move that is not surprising at all, Virgin Mobile has announced on their website that they will also be selling the iPhone 4 when it launches in Canada. Why is this not surprising? Because Virgin Mobile Canada is a subsidiary of Bell Mobility. Following suit of other carriers, no exact pricing or release...

Canadians are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the iPhone 4, but we're going to have to wait until the second launch in "late July". The issue with the iPhone 4 in Canada can be complicated due to the fact that most iPhone users have signed onto 3 year contracts with either Rogers, Telus or Bell....

Effective June 2010, Rogers/Fido will no longer be honoring requests to block data on prepaid (pay as you go) and postpaid (contracts) customer accounts. Existing customers that already have data blocks are not affected until they take the block off. The new Data Block Policy states that Rogers/Fido will no longer offer Data Blocking services...

Effective June 2010, the Saskatchewan Government 911 Fee that Fido customers pay will be increasing to $0.62 per month from the previously charged $0.38 per month. The change will affect all Fido prepaid (Pay as you Go) customers and all Fido postpaid (contracts) customers that are being charged the system access fee/911 fee on previously...

If you like low prices, don't mind contracts, and don't really care for having the latest tech, then this deal from Bell may be for you. Through their Family and Friends program, Bell is offering a "refreshed" iPhone 3G for $9.95 on a 3-year agreement with a minimum $50 per month smartphone plan. The promotion...

Bringing themselves on par with Rogers, Telus has now increased the prices on a series of their services.

Looks like Rogers has broken their silence on the status of the iPhone 4's arrival in Canada. We know Rogers was the first to launch the iPhone 3G in Canada, will they be the first of the "Big 3" to launch the iPhone 4? As of now, Canada is only one of a handful of...

When the iPhone 3G first arrived in Canada, Rogers had some really questionable iPhone voice/data plans. People were not happy and with your support iPhoneinCanada.ca was able to help bring a voice and push Rogers to change their data plans. They eventually succumbed to media pressure and introduced their 6GB/$30 data plan. It's amazing how...

Over the last few months, Telus launched two promotions that gave customers six months of unlimited local calling and free 6PM early evenings ($7 value). The Canadian wireless carriers usually provide one month or no months of unlimited local calling, so to come out with six months is definitely a Canadian first. Six Months Unlimited...
