The device, which weighs about 3 ounces, is compatible...

31 days left... As many have read our article regarding the Tethering policies for Rogers and Fido, one of the most talked about points is that Rogers/Fido plan to offer Tethering access for free to accounts that have 1GB or higher data plans (using your data bucket) up until December 31, 2009...but what then? Well,...

TELUS officially launched their HSPA (3G+) network back on November 5th and they have expanded to reach residents in Kelowna, B.C. TELUS reps say they now cover an additional 1.1 million square kilometres. Steve Jenkins, general manager of Customer Solutions Delivery for the Interior South said: “Thanks to the tremendous efforts of our 144 employees...

A few months ago, Rogers/Fido updated their websites to provide customers with the ability to view their wireless usage in almost real-time. The information was updated every four hours and gave users a great tool to track wireless usage. To expand on that functionality and to set themselves apart from the other two Canadian iPhone...

As reported earlier this week, this morning Bell has officially dropped their $6.95 system access fee and 911 fee, whose rate varies between the Canadian provinces (Quebec will still pay the upcoming $0.40 911 fee for their province only). As originally reported, the dropped fees came with a $5.00 (and even $10) plan increase, which...

As expected, Virgin Mobile Canada will be launching the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in Canada in 2010. An official statement was released this morning. Bell Canada acquired Virgin Mobile Canada in May 2009 and since Bell has just received the iPhone in Novemer 2009, they now plan to move the device to their Virgin...

These two are like brothers fighting over toys. This morning, Telus filed legal action against Rogers for misleading advertisements claiming that Rogers is "Canada's fastest network". Rogers has been running these ads, along with another one whose slogan is "Canada's fastest network: two times faster than any other" since 2007. We have seen them all...

Recently Rogers and Fido both updated their various iPhone related value packs to include Name Display along side the Caller Display feature. This was primarily due to the release of iPhone OS 3.1, which, among other updates, brought with it the ability to use Name Display on the iPhone...or did it? After various personal testing...

As per an internal Bell document, Bell Canada may be dropping the dreaded system access fee effective November 20, 2009. This puts Bell in line with Telus, who just recently dropped their SAF and 911 fee but did increase price plans by $5.00 (still cheaper than with the SAF). See the Bell announcement below: Effective...

Oh Telus customers, you will not like this. If you picked up the iPhone on Telus and purchased Visual Voicemail as part of your Telus iPhone plan, you have probably already realized that you do not have true Apple Visual Voicemail. If you have not realized this, try accessing your Voicemail service from your iPhone....

As of November 5, 2009, the four major Canadian wireless carriers consisting of Rogers, Fido, Bell, and Telus are all finally running HSPA+ with network speeds of up to 21Mbps.
