Rogers rep on iPhone plans

The $30, 6GB data plan remains available for iPhones bought through Canada's Rogers, a customer care worker claims. Although originally offered as an early promotion, the plan is still said to be available, in spite of a lack of publicity and allegations of massive overcharges if a user's account information is suddenly changed. The plan is in fact said to be available with any Windows Mobile smartphone on a three-year contract as well, the main caveat being that shoppers may have to ask for it.

The trouble some iPhone subscribers have been having may be connected to other provisions of the plan, which limit it only to new activations or upgrades to a smartphone. If the option is knocked off by accident, it can require extra effort on the part of Rogers support to get it back in place; it should not however take the amount some people have suffered through, the worker claims. He suggests that frustrated iPhone owners simply call again for another representative if the one they are talking to refuses to restore an original deal.
