Are you Canadian and do you really really want an Apple iPhone?
If you’re a Macolyte, it’s almost a given that you will. No matter what price.
But if you’re not, take a look at what Rogers is trying to force on you.
Called “Flexible Price” packages, its rip-off service plans for the iPhone 3G range from $60 for 400MB at the cheapest rate, rising to $115.
And none of them include unlimited use. Instead, Rogers will cap data each month, and the ’service’ comes with the now-traditional iPhone lock-in contract.
In the US, mugs (sorry, consumers) have to sign a two-year AT&T contract.
In Canada, however, Rogers is demanding punters sign up for a minimum of three-years!
And it gets worse.
At $70 per month, AT&T’s cheapest iPhone 3G service plan includes 450 anytime minutes. But at 400MB, the cheapest Rogers plan only gets buyers 100 anytime minutes.
Similarly, Rogers’ most expensive plan includes only 800 anytime minutes whereas AT&T’s ($130 per month) includes unlimited anytime minutes.
