Looks like Rogers and Fido have rolled out some new changes today. According to an internal doc received by MobileSyrup, the GRRF (also known as the Government Recovery Regulatory Fee) will be eliminated for new customers (existing customers will remain the same). The charge will now be bundled into monthly service fees instead, which some...
Wind and Mobilicity have some enticing voice and data plans that the 'Big 3' cannot compete with. But, the newer entrants stumble based on the fact their AWS network does not support the latest GSM smartphones, such as the iPhone. In an attempt to entice Wind and Mobilicity users, Rogers/Fido are offering a $100 credit...
Just when you thought Tim Cook only replied to my emails, think again. 9to5Mac reports on a story of how one AT&T customer had just been relocated to Canada for work and wanted to use his iPhone 3GS here on PAYG plans. However, his phone was locked to AT&T and he was told to contact...
Fido has modified their $50 Canada-wide talk and text plans to allow for three year terms, instead of just two, as of March 9th, 2012. This means those signing up for three year plans for a maximum hardware subsidy will now be eligible for this plan. It is available for new and existing customers. Here's...
Update 2: Rogers contacted us and wanted to clarify the following: A customer can get the unlock code from our care reps provided they’re willing to pay out the remaining subsidy, regardless of time frame left on the contract. Also, their account needs to be in good standing and the device needs to be in...
For new and existing Fido users, the company has released a 2G/$25 data plan, with an additional 1GB for $10.

As a reader, I visit iPhoneinCanada.ca everyday. As a writer, I seem to drop in and out, depending on my schedule at home. As a graphic designer, I have released a few themes in Cydia, but haven't done so in a long time. Well, today I have released a new add on for the Zeppelin...
Update 1: Rogers will also be applying the same prepaid data pass changes as well. (Thanks Jonathan!) == Fido Prepaid Data Passes are set to receive a new price overhaul as of February 6th, 2012. These data passes are available daily and weekly for prepaid customers that want to use small amounts of data with...
Update 1: Our own tipster notes: You can't use iPhone on this plan. In other words, if you want an iPhone at $159, you can't use this plan. Unless you sign up for a 3 year voice/data term, cancel, pay ECF (early cancellation fee) and DECF (data early cancellation fee) and switch to the new...
