Rogers Unlimited Data Plan Brings iPhone Canada A Step Closer

February 5th, 2008

Rogers Wireless today began offering it's much awaited 'Communicate Value Pack', the first bundle to offer true unlimited web browsing with the Canadian provider.

The Rogers pack allows both unlimited browsing and some 2,500 outbound SMS text messages with 1,000 MMS sent picture or video messages.

The Communicate Value Pack is limited to 'feature phones' only (PC Cards and Smart Phones using the BlackBerry or Windows Mobile operating systems are subject to different plans). The plan can be bolted on to any existing cellphone plan for an additional $20 (CA and US) per month.

Rogers have said in the past they would gladly carry the iPhone in Canada but have been slow to lower the cost of their cellphone data service, which at one point would have cost nearly $300 per month for just 512MB of data transfer - a fraction of the calling time on the base $60 iPhone plan from AT&T.
