It allows unlimited bandwith and calls from 3-6 pm for $1 a day. It's well worth it considering the $80 for the plan which is capped for downloads. Considering that iPhones are sold on a plan few will use this pay per call plan. Tethering has some issues to the bandwidth but how dovthey know if your tethered or not??? And is untethered capped? Questions still prevail as for customer service forget about it. My iPhone was free because of those morons (: </p> Rogers has a data plan that is on pay per call.

As it is their discount brand, you will likely pay more with a Rogers plan.... Plus, Rogers almost never gets their billing right, I've had both and at least Fido doesn't make me call them every month to reverse the false over-charges that they constantly stick me with. They are both pretty horrible, but they have a monopoly on GSM in Canada, so you are stuck with them.</p> @ Jane : Fido is owned by Rogers.

I'm thinking of changing to Rogers. I have the previous version IPhone and they keep wanting me to sign a 3 year contract even though I own my own iphone. I also think I'm getting ripped off as I pay Fido $30 for IGB data plan and it doesn't work most of the time (because I didn't buy my iphone from Fido so they say). I pay approx. $85 per month for cell pkg, IGB data iphone plan and basic value voice plan. Could I get a better deal with Rogers. I might be interested in the 4G iphone 2 if it comes out s o o n. Thanks.</p> Hi: I'm with fido :-( Not happy with their services, they are not very cooperative. I'm thinking of changing to Rogers.

Assuming you use wifi part of the time and haven't found a shady way to tether, how the heck is anyone using 6GB of cell data in a month. I've never reset my iPhone's data counter and it is sitting at 4.5GB (I purchased on 3G day one). I can't imagine there are people using 6GB per month on the phone itself.</p> Why do they even bother capping people at 6GB?

I think with the new HUP, an upgrade will probably only come in the form of full price unless Apple can twist Roger's arms.

I'm not planning on upgrading unless the video and camera upgrades are worthwhile and or multi-tasking with new phone only.
