Exclamation WARNING! – Roger’s unlimited web browsing on your Phone

WARNING! – Roger’s unlimited web browsing

Called Roger’s customer service centre to change something on my Essential Plan and the rep tells me Roger’s is now offering “Unlimited Web Browsing” and I ask the guy a few times to makes sure I can surf the web with unlimited access. He says, yes and even ask me what unit I’m using. I changed it and started to surfed the web for a bit and etc.

Thanks to my GF, she contacts a friend of her and finds out this Unlimited Web Browsing is for WAP only! Surfing the web on my Treo 680 is considered Internet Data. (How you figure? Their both using GPRS, WAP2.0 and internet data to transfer data back and forth) I call the tech support, which re-routes me to PDA support and then back to customer service again. The rep. tells me “all device that is a BlackBerry, WM OS and Palm OS must use internet data, b/c when you surf the web it’s just like what you see on the computer and WAP is very limited, and only works on normal cell phones” Had to report I was missed informed and changed my plan to another one. Let’s hope they waive that data usage … but, I doubt it. Lucky me it was for about an hour, imagine I used it for a month non-stop and found out from my bill?

Please be careful you don’t get confused with this like me … this plan below is not unlimited web browsing for PDA Phones

http://www.rogers.com/web/content/w...0=20_comm#start

$20 Value Pack | $20.00/month


Group your wireless essential services and save.

Includes:
• 2500 Sent Text Messages
• 1000 Sent Picture/Video Messages
• Unlimited On-Device Mobile Browsing
• Unlimited MobileMail Email
• Call Display with Name Display
• Enhanced Voicemail

• Mobile Backup


Roger’s is slowly moving towards the real world of cellular services, the iPhone will have a unlimited web browsing for $7.00, now let’s see what’s the catch with that plan and what's the limitation. Once T-Mobile comes, the real deal will start happening and Roger’s will have to adjust to compete. T-Moblie is going to have TRUE unlimited data plan for Blackberry and every PDA phone for a flat fee, not this cheesy WAP package. I honestly hope T-Mobile will crush Roger’s and teach them a real lesson.

I got nailed hard on exactly this issue and it compounded to the point that my BlackBerry is now deactivated due to Rogers' outright refusal to reverse the charges.

Be careful - Absolutely can't wait for T-Mobile to come north.

Rogers should be called ROBBERS

They are the biggest pieces of shit on this earth. They will see how fast i change companies when a big player comes in. The only reason im with them is becuase they are GSM based.

Once the Iphone comes to Canada.. they will be STUPID not to offer unlimited data packages.. the phone was MADE to download a ton of stuff.

My buddy in New York Pays 20 bucks for unlmited data... and there are no raoming charges to use the data... so he can use the net with his iphone in Puesto Rico,... Hawaii, and Alaska... without being charged. Not only that.. ther is no such thing as Roaming in the US anymore.

If i drive to burlington... ROBBERS starts to charge long distance rates..

FUCK THEM AND THEIR MOTHERS\


P.S Dont get your hopes up to high guys.. i dont think T-Mobile or AT&T will be coming here any time soon.. they backed out of the wireless auction block the government made to create more competition around the wirelss oligopoly

Ahhhh I fell for this too .. I fucking hate rogers.. getting a plan with them is the worst decision Ive made since Ive moved here.. my phone bill was supposed to be 30-70 a month which was no big deal.. but lately they've been over 200$!!

errrrrr all the fine print and supposedly "free" add ons suck balls.
Im canceling my plan as soon as I get the charges dropped and using my American [sprint] phone until I do so .. I cannot believe its cheaper to use an international phone .. grrr so angry

Your gonna use your Sprint phone in TO? You don;t get roaming charges for making calls and etc? I know using Internet Data can be by passed

Someone should make a t-shirt, use the symbol but just alter it to say "ROBBERS".

What type of phone do you have? I'm on Fido as well, and I have the unlimited surfing package for $7. I go nuts on it, and have never been charged more than $7.
