Update: April Voice and Data plans for iPhone 3G

Below you find the latest Rogers Wireless plans for iPhone 3G for April 2009. The information below will not include the specifically labeled “iPhone 3G plans” from Rogers that run $60 and $75 per month because when compared to the other plans, they do not offer a good enough value.

Please note that these plans will be reflective of Rogers Wireless and there are five sections below detailing individual regions (Prices vary between regions):

1.) BC/ALBERTA REGION

2.) MIDWEST REGION

3.) ONTARIO REGION

4.) QUEBEC REGION

5.) ATLANTIC REGION

Please note, as of April 7, 2009, all new acquisitions on a 3 year contract will only receive one (1) month of unlimited local minutes (“Freedom of Speech”) as opposed to 3 months as it has been in the past. If you are getting a data plan on a 3 year term as well, you still receive 3 months unlimited data usage.

Also note, as of April 16, 2009, the $17.50 plan will be increasing in price to $20.00. All of the other advertised features within this plan will be staying the same.

People who want iPhone 3G without data

If you are one of the people that want an iPhone 3G without data and prefer to use the Wi-Fi feature, then really any voice plan is fine for you. Essentially you will want a plan that will give you enough minutes so you do not end up paying overage fees. Currently there is a very good plan called the “Employee Purchase Plan”. The plan is $17.50 per month and includes the following:

200 Daytime Minutes, Unlimited Evenings & Weekends at 6PM.

In terms of minutes and value, this is the best plan however if you need more minutes, then obviously you should choose a higher voice plan.

In any case, the iPhone 3G from Rogers will run you $249 (8GB) and $349 (16GB) under this plan. (Rogers policy is in order to get the iPhone 3G for $199 (8GB) or $299 (16GB), your VOICE plan must be $30.01 or higher before all add-ons, fees, and taxes).

People who want iPhone 3G with data

For the folks that want to utilize their iPhone 3G for all the glory that it is, you have a few more options. What it comes down to is you may choose a Voice and Data plan combo (where they come together) or separate the two and choose a Voice plan and add a Data plan option.

As mentioned previously, you can still pick up the $17.50 plan (remember the iPhone will run you $249 for the 8GB) and then for a data option, the best value is the iPhone Data Value Pack. This pack is $35 and gives you:

$35 iPhone Data Value Pack

500MB of Data, Caller Display, Visual Voicemail, Unlimited sent Text Messages, WhoCalled service.

So together with the EPP voice plan, your monthly total will run: $67.14 (BC Only). And of course, if you need more minutes or more data, you simply increase your plan, but that does mean increasing the amount you pay. (In other words, you do not have to choose what I just recommended. There are many VOICE plans to choose from but only ONE $35 iPhone Value Pack)

For Voice and Data combo plans, there are three very good choices.

$45 SmartPhone Plan
