Rogers yesterday announced its iPhone 3G pricing, and unfortunately as some had predicted, their plans leave something to be desired. The details for both Rogers and Fido are as follows:
$60/mo: 150 anytime min, unlimited evenings/weekends, 400 MB data
$75/mo: 300 anytime min, unlimited evenings/weekends, 750 MB data
$100/mo: 150 anytime min, unlimited evenings/weekends, 1 GB data
$115/mo: 150 anytime min, unlimited evenings/weekends, 2 GB data
While the plans include unlimited received text messages and some sent text messages, note that these prices don't include Caller ID or the $6.95 system access fee. On top of this, a 3-year contract is mandatory, "evenings" start at 9 pm, and data costs 50¢ per MB if you go over.
An average user might want the 2nd plan:
$75 for voice and data
$15 (or $7?) for Caller ID
$6.95 for System access fee
$0.50 for 911 emergency access fee
Total (depending on cost of Caller ID) would be:
$89.45 ($101.08 including tax in Ont.)
or $97.45 ($110.12 including tax in Ont.)
No thanks Rogers.

Oh wow, that is so incredibly poor. I have a number of friends in Canada and it's a rare occasion that us Brits get a better deal than our Canadian counterparts!
