3 years, thats garbage. 2 Gigs is a lot of browsing, but download 2 albums, or stream a couple movies and youre getting overage charges.
instead of 115, your bill will be closer to 1155. keeping track of minutes is hard enough, data will be impossible

well, your contact with your new wife is good for about 3 years perhaps less.
that plan is garbage, but i will never own a smart phone. i like my run of the mill dumb phone with, unlimited calling. that btw i'll only use if get into some kinda trouble.
perhaps its a guy thing but when leave my house, i usually dont want to be bothered by chitchat over a phone.

Come on my fellow Canucks! Are we not used to being shafted by the same stupid excuse of "Oh, Canada isn't as large a market as the U.S. to offer such deals." My friend in N.Y. on Verizon pays $35/mo. for UNLIMITED North American calling and no roaming charges!!! The day Rogers... wait, the day ANY provider in Canada offers these kinds of plans, is the day we become the next U.S. state.
Message to the CRTC: Open this baby up so we can get some true competition up here! There's Rogers, Telus, and Bell. Fido? Just a division of Rogers. Virgin? Barely making a dent in the market. The new Koodo (who comes up with these names)? Just a new division of Telus. This is not the type of competition that helps the end-user. But then again, when has what we want ever been priority?!
End Tirade.

lol ..the more i hear bout this phone..the more i wanna go to apple and shot a bazooka through the CEO's office..god how much more leeching can they possibly do? and with the limitations in place its not worth signing those 3 year plan documents..go to shopkami(dot)com and purchase yourself a nice advanced phone..theres even a duplicate of iphone in every way except its only 2 GB memory..but at least its unlocked already..

you mean teach him to stop trying to screw the public ?
unfortunately there will always be some dimwits out there who will fall for it and bend over willingly and they can't be saved from a Mr Rogers all out anal attack.

But you see, the thing about Canada, we do not have the amount of carriers the states has.
We have 4 Major carriers, Rogers, Bell, Fido (Which Rogers owns), and Telus. And all 3 are garbage. So either way, we're screwed.

I was under the impression that three year contracts are the normal in Canada?
