Not sure how legit this is but it's from howardforums

Quote:
Official Update*
*As always Everything is subject to change. Information below is correct at time of posting, however Rogers may change some or all of it as they see fit.

Hardware price is based on the customer MSF and a 3-year term
MSF-----------8GB------------16GB
$30 or below--$249-----------$349
Above $30----$199-----------$299

Yes this means you can keep your $8 retention plan and get an iPhone.

MSF Downgrade fee (applicable if you received your iPhone 3G for $199/$299)
If at any time during your 3 year term you downgrade your MSF to $30 or below "Rogers will need to cancel the original $50 credit".

Note regarding HUPs: When doing a Hardware upgrade you will always be billed the $249/$349 price points and if you signed up on a MSF >$30 you will automatically be credited the additional $50 on your next bill.

Data plans are not required to purchase an iPhone 3G and they have no effect on pricing. Therefore if you take one there is no need to commit to a term and subsequently no Data ECF. Also there is no Data ECF if you take the iPhone voice and data bundles.

However if you do not take a data plan you will be forced to sign a data waiver saying that you understand how the pay per use data charges work.

All iPhones will be tethered and unbricked instore as part of the activation process.

Does anyone know if the MSF price includes the add-ons such as caller ID or is it JUST the plan itself without the add-ons?

My bill each month comes out to $31 just after the add-ons (before tax and SAF).

usually when they say MSF (Monthly Service Fee), it only includes the plan fee, so 30 unlimited incoming + 7 CID + 10 text .. MSF is still 30

i'm pretty confused too...

my friend who works for rogers asked his manager and he said he specifically stated that you are eligible for an upgrade if you have been on your contract for 12 months.

$199 for the phone, and getting the 3G plan for $60/mo for 2 or 3 years... eww...

not to mention you'd have to give up your current plan, if you have a good plan now I dont think it's worth it getting an iphone 3G. it's just misconception on the initial cost to make you think it's cheap = =

y don't u get it without the 3G plan then... don't give up your current plan and just do a HUP..

it's Rogers mistakes to put out those plans.. but you're not forced to follow it..
