| 683404 | 2008-06-28 21:53:00 | And we thought WE were hard done by :eek: Rogers and its Fido wireless unit said they were offering voice and data plans ranging in price from C$60 ($59) to C$115 ($114) a month for the iPhone, a price that includes unlimited Wi-Fi access at Rogers and Fido hotspots. The top-end C$115 plan will buy 800 weekday minutes for voice calling and unlimited time at evenings and weekends. It will allow users to send 300 text messages and have 2 gigabytes of data usage -- something that Rogers says is enough for about 1 million text e-mails, or 16,000 Web pages, or 7,000 photo attachments. By comparison, U.S. carrier AT&T has said it will offer unlimited 3G iPhone data plans for $30 a month in addition to voice plans that start at $39.99 a month. Everyone would like to say "**** YOU" to Rogers/Fido for screwing our iPhone Canadian dream with poor data/voice plans http://www.****yourogers.com/ |

If you are going to copy and paste from a journalist's article, then you should give them credit for their work or note your source. I also cannot understand why you have posted a link to a online petition for something is only for Canadians? Please keep all related iPhone discussions/articles to the one thread rather than making a new thread each time you find one on the net. |

| 683408 | 2008-06-29 00:18:00 | Don't forget most European telco's paid a fortune for 3G band licenses. And they have to get that back. That did not happen in NZ. |

| 683410 | 2008-06-29 01:05:00 | Have vodafone announced what plan they are going to create/use for the iphone? Apart from the existing plans that are on their site I don't think that they have made any special annoucements. |

| 683411 | 2008-06-29 01:30:00 | Probably some crappy old M$ product. They may make a dollar or 3 out of that. The only ones that will maybe? Doesn't matter if they don't, they make plenty anyway. Ken |
