Canadian iPhone plans and pricing revealed.
Rogers Wireless announced the numbers we’ve all been waiting for in press releases today. Eager iPhone purchasers will have the choice between 4 plans- all of which are “Voice and Data Packages”. This is different from other countries where the 3G internet option is an add-on to any voice plan. Fido plan details are, predictably, exactly the same with the exception of being billed by the second.
All plans include Visual Voicemail, unlimited access to Rogers and Fido WiFi hotspots, and unlimited evening and weekend calling between 9pm and 7am.
Here are the details so far:
- $60: 150 daytime minutes/400MB data/75 SMS
- $75: 300 daytime minutes/750MB data/100 SMS
- $100: 600 daytime minutes/1GB data/200 SMS
- $115: 800 daytime minutes/2GB data/300 SMS
New subscribers will be required to sign a 3-year contract.
The most noticeable difference between these plans and what we’ve seen before is the data limit. Seems like Canadians are suffering from not having nearly enough (or any) competition in wireless providers.
As previously pointed out, Rogers’ other “unlimited” internet plan was for internet use with specific applications on specific devices.
Interestingly, especially in the light of the recent launch in Canada of Koodo Mobile, a provider who chooses not to charge extra System Access Fees, there is no mention of System Access Fees or any possible additional fees on the iPhone plan details page, or any other paged clicked on to get to the iPhone plan page.
