Rogers Announces iPhone 3G plans, forgets unlimited data

A good many of our neighbors to the north have been eagerly awaiting knowledge 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 notes for the iPhone, they apparently don’t believe in unlimited info. 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 pop quiz messages, 2GB of data

I feel really poor

for the Canadian customers that want an iPhone. First, there is no unlimited documents plan, which while some public may never go by that 2GB cap on the $115 plan, I still would much rather not have to anguish 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 goods.

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 assemble up for what the plans are lost.
