Remember when Rogers "eliminated" their System Access Fee, only to replace it with the Government Regulated Recovery Fee (GRRF), which has nothing to do with the government whatsoever? Well, today Virgin Mobile's Chairman, Sir Richard Branson pulled out his guns to attack Rogers over this questionable and unjustified fee. I think he hit the nail...
It seems that the folks over at BGR have heard whispers of a possible 8GB iPhone 3GS to emerge on AT&T. While many would say that it won't happen, it very well could considering Apple's current pricing schemes. This could also mean interesting news for Canada as many devices that are planned and released on...
Just as Apple did yesterday with the launch of the Bell iPhone in Canada, Apple has now acknowledged Telus to be an official carrier of the iPhone.

With the upcoming iPhone release from both Telus and Bell, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the network coverage provided by all the carriers in Canada. As many know, Telus and Bell are launching HSPA+ networks, a complete departure from their existing CDMA networks. The new network technology also puts...
In an anonymous tip received, the early plan prices for the upcoming Telus iPhone may have been revealed. This news comes as Telus is set to unveil their iPhone 3G/3GS on November 5 2009. It would seem that Telus will have numerous options for customers to choose from (aside from their normally offered plans), 12...
Early Thursday morning we reported about the unfortunate email that TELUS sent out to its promotional mailing list subscribers. According to the email, customers living in Saskatchewan and Manitoba would not be getting the iPhone 3G/3GS on launch day. That email is referenced below: Clearly this is bad news for our Prairie friends. But hope...
With the great news that the iPhone was coming to TELUS and then TELUS eliminating the SAF, there just had to be some bad news in there somewhere.
