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

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.
