you do not have to renew your voice agreement, all you have to do is sign a new agreement just on the data portion of your plan. i just called in today and did so, here's the details...

current voice plan under agreement from nov 2008 - nov 2011
current data plan without agreement
new data plan added ($30, 6gb) under agreement from jun 2009 - jun 2012
voice plan agreement remains unchanged

also i asked about my options on getting a new iphone 3g s, i currently have 3 lines with fido, 2 with data and 1 without. one the 1 without the contract is open for renewal but i was told that data is mandatory to get an iphone 3g s at the subsidized price under a new agreement. if you dont want data then you have to pay full price for the handset (thumbs down) but you dont have to sign a new agreement (thumbs up). dude wouldnt release the pricing, he said to call back on june 19 for that info.

6gb of data for $30 is acutally a good, it is virtually unlimited data, the only way i see someone chewing through that is with tethering.

512mb of data is sufficient for most iphone users, myself i only go through 100-400mb per month. i rip off is that there is no affordable 512mb or 1gb data plan. you can get 6gb for $30 so you should be able to get 1gb for $10.

if these fuckers thought like that they almost every one of their clients would have 1gb data plans at $10 a pop. instead they ransom you with the iphone 3g S and make it mandatory to get a data plan. who in their right mind is going to pay $25 for 500mb when you can get 6gb for $30? there is no affordable data plan, i have the 6gb and it is great but i am not tethering right now and its a fucking waste. shit i could live with even 512mb if it was cheaper.

Yes, you have to sign up for a 3-year data plan agreement which is something added to your line. It is not a new line.

the 6gb data plan from fido/rogers is a promo and a 3 year commitment to the service is mandatory. if you choose to cancel the service before then there is a $100 ECF.

Check with them just exactly they did to your data. Most likely they renewed your data contract from that day forwards.

Spoke with rogers, my blackberry was eligible for the 6gb plan, so I jumped all over it like a fat kid on doughnuts.

Im currently using a non-NAM N96 with HSDPA 900 / 2100,
Will I still be able to add the plan?
Or will they tell me that im not using a 3G compatible phone and not let me get this plan?

Tethering isn't allowed any more and that blows chunks. I am not happy.

It's still allowed. Just not with plans of 500mb or less a month.

It is not. I have the 6GB plan and it's no longer allowed. That's what I've been shown from Rogers. Only allowed for iPhones. Unless you know something that I don't...
