If you plan on traveling this summer and want to save on your wireless bill by using text messaging, Rogers/Fido have just launched a new US/International text message promotion. When you go traveling outside of Canada, roaming can be expensive and using another carrier network for voice, data, and messages adds up quickly. In recent...
Update 1: Similar Fido image added as well. The iPhone 4 launched yesterday in the USA, France, Germany, the UK, and Japan. Reception issues have dominated Internet headlines and even Apple's response has been questionable. What about the iPhone 4 in Canada? When can we expect to see the iPhone? We know that Rogers, Telus,...
We just received an anonymous email from a tipster that noted Bell will be launching the 8GB iPhone 3GS on June 25th. We've also received word that Rogers and Telus will also be launching on the same date too--not surprising at all. Apple will be selling these units one day before on June 24th. We...
One of the smaller, not widely known features of iOS 4, is the ability for carriers to push out updates, over the air. Previously, this could only be done, via iTunes. This isn't Apple firmware updates, but rather carrier specific updates. The iOS 4 betas have been coming with Rogers carrier updates. Rogers 6 was...

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...
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...
