is the iphone 2g, or 3g/3gs?
if it's 2g, then their only choice is a fido/rogers sim
if it's 3g/3gs, the student can get a telus or bell sim card, those are cheaper than the rogers/fido sim cards

if you go with rogers/fido
its:
$10 for prepaid air time
$35 activation fee ( sim card )
= $45 setup cost
monthly plan
$35 activation fee
$20+tax etc - 200mins (anytime)
i set this up for for a relative that stayed with us , and i was amazed at the start up costs.
if you want a rogers sim - i got one i'll sell for $10

bring to to bell
if you get a sim only from bell, they get a discount on their price plan 5-20% depending on your rep

since he needs data and voice why don't u just go with fido month to month no contract and get data + voice? pretty sure u can fetch a fido sim off revscene somewhere for like $15bux and cancel when u leave.. none of the unlimited mobile browsing crap applies to the iphone and blackberries.. from ANY COMPANY. those are usually meant for their own mobile device's on board internet broswer.. and definitely not the iphone safari broswer
