Iphone Updates

A good many of our neighbors to the north have been eagerly awaiting information regarding the iPhone 3G data/voice plans from Rogers/Fido. Well that day has come, and while they have come up with plans that feature more data for the iPhone, they apparently don’t believe in unlimited data. Hit the jump for a breakdown of their rates.

• $60 – 150 daytime minutes, 75 sent text messages, 400MB of data
• $75 – 300 daytime minutes, 100 sent text messages, 750MB of data
• $100 – 600 daytime minutes, 200 sent text messages, 1GB of data
• $115 – 800 daytime minutes, 300 sent test messages, 2GB of data

I feel really bad for the Canadian customers that want an iPhone. First, there is no unlimited data plan, which while some people may never go over that 2GB cap on the $115 plan, I still would much rather not have to worry about it. As for the customers that don’t really use that many daytime minutes, they’re still forced into purchasing more minutes just to get more data.

There are a few things that Rogers is throwing in, like free incoming text messages, and free access to Rogers and Fido Wi-Fi hotspots. While those are a couple of niceties, they don’t make up for what the plans are lacking.
