Rogers

This past summer, and what seems to be a recurring promotion each year, Rogers/Fido released their amazing $30 6GB data plan. Rogers/Fido typically release this data plan when a new iPhone comes out and this has been the trend since summer 2008. However, as summer comes to an end, so does this promotion. Effective September...

At first I thought I was going crazy. That was until I started receiving numerous tweets from you guys about the recent slowdowns to 3G speeds on the Rogers network. The 3G speeds on my iPhone 4 are usually blazing fast. However, the past couple days everything has slowed down to a snail's pace. We...

Yesterday, we reported on Fido posting their plans to expand their HSPA+ network in various areas of Manitoba. The new Fido coverage map indicated where current upgrades were happening and also where future upgrades will be in place. Even though the coverage maps indicate a plan to upgrade, it would seem that Rogers in this...

Looks like Rogers is getting desperate for business! This week, Rogers is contacting "special customers" via a letter encouraging them to sign a 3-year smartphone (voice/data) agreement with the wireless company. The incentive? A $100 bill credit. At this time, it is unknown what it takes to be a "special customer", however it may be...

This month, Rogers has launched a new 50% off promotion for 6PM early evenings and also made 6PM early evenings a new plan feature choice. However, I am not really sure how I feel about this new 6PM feature update from Rogers. Obviously I prefer that Rogers just make 6PM early evening calling free (instead...

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...

**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...

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...
