There is something called renewing your contract which cost you $0 to do...unless ur not with rogers or fido that is another issue. =P
my coworkers fiance stood in line for 6 hours until he finally got his.

OH yeah i got a question, im reading up on msn.ca they said,
"On a monthly basis, Canadian customers can choose from voice plans that start at $20 and add on the new 6 GB data plan for $30, plus the $6.95 system access fee, for a total of $56.95 before taxes. After Aug. 31, customers will pay at least $60 for a data plan that offers only 400 MB worth of usage."
how come when i asked the guy at wireless wave he told me minimum $35 voice plan...like is he lying to me or he didn't have any stock or wanted to push his sale away lol.

Yesterday was truly the Ipocalypse.
As per McDick, it is boring. I felt that it was huge in comparison to my old 1st gen. When I put it in my pocket it had a much more noticeable presence. It now feels thicker and beefer than the very first phone I got, which was the T720 by Motorola, when it's in my pocket. And it rolls around on my desk.
-1 for iphone
+1 for apple and rogers for sucking people in with a sexy first phone.

Unfortunately, I don't qualify for an upgrade as I just re-upped last November for another 3y but with an awesome plan. I spoke to a supervisor @ Fido to see if there was anything they could do and she advised that on July 24th, they would be selling the iPhone 3G on a no contract basis for around $600. Not sure if she meant the 8GB or 16GB but it would still be cheaper than buying one on a contract and then canceling it. My last gen iPhone should last me until then and the devteam should have pwned it by then too.

u were told mnimun 35 so u actually could get the device at 199/299
30 and below voice plans will make the device 249/349
if u were to downgrade ur plan $30 and below at anytime during the contract, u will be charged back 50dollars

i know there was much speculation as to if you had to sign up for a data plan or not did you have to or not? Like could you just do a HUP/Renewal and keep your same plan

from wut i understand is. u can get the iphone with ANY plan. but for it to be $199
u must have a 35 min voice plan? anyhow since i did HUP it works out to be same
for me, and i kept my old plan. Quote:

unfortunately....
im not a salesperson....
im the iPhone Retail Representative...
i go around making sure stores know their knowledge...and make sure that they wont fail the dreaded apple police mystery shoppers
Rogers knows they are going around, my job is to make sure front line know what they are doing.
my recommendations for some good customer service(though it might be tough to expect ANY at the moment due to the craziness..as everyone is human..and people get mad...)
recommended RS sales people
Shuya80(Tim) Brentwood Rogers Plus Corporate
Scheng924(simon) Richmond Center Fido Corporate store
others..cant really put down names
but look for..
Manager at Telephone Booth Richmond Center
Manager at CellCom Rogers Oakridge
Manager at Celtek Rogers Aberdeen/Metropolis/Robson
Manager at Fido Service/Repair on Kingsway and Royal Oakand
to hondah20...u cant really call it the dark side since hte data plan is the best deal for data in wireless history in Canada...and no..$7 unlimited WAP browsing doesnt count...
the best deal would be cityfido+the promo data plan...its sooo awesome
its like unlimited EVERYTHING
for those that can wait...call customer service..and do an upgrade...but good luck waiting..
and like..really..waiting...wobuffet waited for close to 3hrs

hey darthchilli, quick ques for ya since ur pretty knowledgeable.
i currently have 2 lines with rogers a work phone that i got in dec 07 and a berry that i got in march 08. both of these lines are locked into a 3 yr contract. so technically im not eligible for a hardware upgrade yet but do you think there is anything i can do so i can get the iphone? both my lines together run me about 400-450 a month.

It doesnt hurt to give them a call...dial *611 and speak with RETENTIONS Quote:

Store levels have pretty high goals right now. then again, store level is OBLIGATED to obey the policies and grant you your upgrade. The data plan is worth every penny, most of the population cant even use up 3gb of data on their PCs per month!
regardless, if u want to be gauranteed a phone, *611 on ur cell is the only way to get what u need w/o being hassled or waiting for the system to allow store level to get things done Quote: |

Thanks, just trying to figure out a way to receive emergency calls. Find it funny so many phones are considered 'world phones' yet don't work in Japan (all Telus and Rogers models).

got 16gb in white =)
does anyone know how to disable network data?
ever since my gf got it.. she did like 400kb and fido is going to charge that right?
no, she didn't get a dataplan.
overall, i don't see anything special compared to the 1st gen.. maybe it looks better from the back, that's it. but for only $349.99.. its well worth the money! (comparing the other high end Nokia or SE phones that cost $500+)

u dont have to get data, but you should as then you will be able to fully enjoy what the iPhone 3G can offer you! GPS requires data anyways..and 6gb allows u to do ALOT of things Quote:

for Rogers, you qualify after 1 year into your 3 year contract, but you will be on tier1 pricing, so the phone is 350/450 before the $50 credit if ur plan is 30 or below
