| $30 6GB Data Plan Back on Rogers
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/...-back-to-life/
Supposed to be for the two Android phones only, but BGR reports getting it put on a 'Berry and an iPhone no problemo. Your mileage may vary.

I'm getting pretty good speeds in the daytime around 2 - 3mbps and as fast as 5mbps in the evenings/late night. Mind you, this is on a Sierra Wireless Card, not an iPhone.

So the answer to your question is a resounding "no." Unless I'm wrong.

meaning June19th is also the day that the plan will be available "publically" on Rogers

The promotion coming to Fido, it's for new iphone users only? Or open to the public whoever is using Fido service?
And I am assuming not 6gb worth of BIS data for Blackberries right?

just wondering if this is a new being of some sort. | you can. as long as you have a fido iphone already registered under your account already, then you will be able to sign up for the offer. what you do with the sim card in the iphone is then up to you.

to be honest, the plan is new. many csr dont know about it still. go call in soon and take advantage of the fact that some may not know about all the specific rules. data is data. these data packages are for all smartphones except blackberry. most if not all 3g smartphones can use the dataplan here.

I just called Rogers to change up my 1gig plan to 6gig plan..here are details:
I signed up on a 3yr contract with the iphone on Rogers back on Oct 2008. Unfortunately the 6gig plan was NOT available and so i opted for 1gig.. MIND YOU, try as I may, i never hit 1gig a month! anyways, for me to switch to the 6gig plan at THIS time, the rogers rep advised that I would have to renew my data plan for another 3yrs..but not the voice plan. ODD. So now, my 3yr data plan starts today while my voice plan chugs along towards it's original expiration of oct 2011. Once my voice plan expires, I can cancel the data plan for $40 as calculated by the rogers rep.
Anyways, whatever.. we're all gonna need a cell phone for life lol and everyone's gonna need data so screw it! i done it!

Just renew your voice plan with a retentions plan before then and you're golden haha
Or just go with no voice contract for a bit first, then renew with a retentions plan.
