I think if there's enough public outcry on it Rogers will have to rethink their price plans

I have unlimited internet/email etc for 15bucks a month with telus

Man, Rogers really screwed themselves over this. Sure, people who have money to throw away will still the get the iPhone 3G, but for people with half a brain, these plans offer no value at all.
150 daytime mins, evenings at 9pm, no caller ID, for $60?! WTF!  | |

I'm just amazed that Apple let Rogers do it. It totally goes against what they wanted for the iPhone, which is to sell to more people so that it can penetrate the market more and address the concern that the first iPhone was "too expensive".

Has this been posted already? Quote:
Rogers announced service plans for the iPhone 3G in Canada today. iPhone 3G combined voice and data plans start at $60 and will be available starting July 11th. "As the wireless provider voted number one in wireless satisfaction(x), Fido is thrilled to offer a variety of well-priced voice and data plans making iPhone 3G accessible to as many of our customers as possible," said Sylvain Roy, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Fido. "These pricing plans will allow our urban customer base easy enjoyment of all that iPhone 3G has to offer."
The data plans, however, are not unlimited as had been rumored. The new rate plans are detailed below:
- $60/month. 150 minutes + unlimited evenings/weekends, 400 MB Data, 75 SMS sent, unlimited incoming SMS
- $75/month. 300 minutes + unlimited evenings/weekends, 750 MB Data, 100 SMS sent, unlimited incoming SMS
- $100/month. 600 minutes + unlimited evenings/weekends, 1 GB Data, 200 SMS sent, unlimited incoming SMS
- $115/month. 800 minutes + unlimited evenings/weekends, 2 GB Data, 300 SMS sent, unlimited incoming SMS
How about it Canadians ? Will you buy into the IPhone madness?

Bullshit prices. Please, for the love of god, do NOT purchase a 3G iPhone...show Rogers that we will not put up with these rape prices for data. We pay the most out of all first world countries for mobile phone plans.

iPhone rates irate would-be customers
Roger's high monthly plans cause cyberspace buzz
Canwest News Service
Published: Monday, June 30, 2008
An online petition looking to mobilize Canadians outraged over Rogers Communications Inc.'s rates for Apple's iPhone 3G has begun to create a buzz in cyberspace, collecting over 19,000 signatures along the way.
The petition, found on the website ruinediphone.com, was launched shortly after Rogers unveiled its pricing scheme last Friday for the iPhone, scheduled for sale in Canada July 11.
The website, title “Screwing Canadian iPhone consumers since ‘08”, also includes an open letter to Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
Signed by James Hallen, the letter calls on Jobs to intervene and pressure Rogers into cheapening up their iPhone rates.
“I was going to buy an iPhone for me, my girlfriend and my family. Now, sadly, I cannot afford the plan,” writes Hallen. “I hope you can do something Steve; we are loyal customers and trust that you will. We don’t want to lose faith in Apple.”
The website has also provided a venting forum for outraged would-be iPhone customers, many who have included sharply worded statements along with their names or aliases on the petition.
“As a previous Rogers employee I know for a fact that they can do better and this plan is a joke. Smarte’n up guys,” Chris Burka posted Monday.
“You really ought to take a lesson from Google. ‘Don’t be evil,’” wrote Ryan Feller, who posted a minute before Burka.
The petition is getting some high-profile cyber exposure with Fortune Magazine’s Apple 2.0 blog picking up the cause by comparing Rogers’ rates with those from the U.S. and U.K.
“What’s wrong with Rogers’ rate plan?” writes blogger Philip Elmer-DeWitt. “For one thing, it comes with a mandatory three-year contract. In the U.K., O2 offers an 18 month contract and throws in the iPhone for free. And although both AT&T and Rogers offer calling, data and text messaging for $75 a month, Rogers at that price gives Canadians a third less calling time, half as many text messages, and puts a 750 MB cap on 3G data usage - with steep fees for users who go over their monthly limit.”
Rogers is offering up four voice-and-data combo packages for the iPhone 3G, ranging in price from $60 per month to $115 a month, all requiring a three-year contract. Pricing includes unlimited Wi-Fi access at all Rogers and Fido hot spots, the company said. Caller ID will cost an extra $15 to $20 per month, depending on the package.
The price on the phone - touted as being twice as fast as the first iPhone launched last year - is $199 for the eight-gigabyte model or $299 for the 16-gigabyte version.
Liz Hamilton, a spokeswoman for Rogers said the company had no comment on the petition but said it was apparent there is “confusion in the marketplace” about Rogers pricing plans for the phone.
She said iPhone 3G bundles are high value and offer customers savings over voice and data plans that exist today though they are not the only plans being offered.
“These are the best value for customers who wish to use the iPhone 3G as it was meant to be used, but as always our customers have choices,” Hamilton said in an e-mail.
She said customers can use their existing voice and smartphone data plans, or order other a la carte options so they don’t have to take the value pack.

| Rogers Screwing Canadians with 3G Iphone Release
Hey guys,
If you haven't noticed, Rogers has just recently unveiled their Voice and Data Plans for the Iphone and they are a slap in the face. If you haven't seen them yet than check them out here
Rogers http://www.rogers.com/web/content/wi..._data_packages
This is where we all come in. Voice your opinion if you feel outraged like many other Canadians. A website was created on June 30th,2008 (JUST LAST FRIDAY) with an online petition voiced towards Rogers and Apple. Thus far they have over 22,000 signatures just over one weekend. People are talking and the media is also covering this outrage and giving hope to some sort of shakeup. To sign the petition and be heard please visit http://www.ruinediphone.com/
We've waited so long for these phones, just to get slapped in the face by Rogers. Steve Jobs .... this is the worst decision you ever made. Rogers just shit on everyone !

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha *gasp* ahahahahahahahahah
people were already complaining when they first anticipated it to be what? $30 for unlimited data? Now it's 400MB data? Chances are people would use that much in the first week or two, especially with INCREDIBLY 3G SPEEDS!!!!1!!1!!
...and to think that a lot of the people were actually anticipating the new iphone being a steal of a deal with the $199 price tag hahahahahahahhahahhahhah

LOL at extra fee for call display... 9pm evenings??...
anythings I think cell phones are for calling people. they should have 12 buttons, one funtion (send) and one ring tone. one that goes ring ring. anything else is gay on a phone, and should be done with a computer.

...and to think that a lot of the people were actually anticipating the new iphone being a steal of a deal with the $199 price tag hahahahahahahhahahhahhah | my thoughts exactly, people don't understand that the $200 price tag is more than made up when you're being gouged with $300+ phone bills:P
400mb is nothing, i can use that in a day on my 2g iphone but yayfreewifi so i'm not paying another $100/day to watch some youtube videos
3g iphone has no improvements that warrant the price, i can't imagine the battery life as the 3g version's is RATED (so, take 3/4 of the rated time lol) at half of the 2g and the battery still drains fast as hell when you're actually on it.
3g=waste of time and money unless we have decently priced data plans, and i laugh at anyone and everyone who buys one and is suddenly surprised at their $1000 phone bill as they've burned through data. lolpeace3g
