I own a phone with those 3G bands, my Nokia N82. If I wasn't with Rogers I'd consider this WIND stuff |
i don't think WIND even has coverage in Cambridge yet?

Toronto, Calgary, and 5 towers in Brampton...
And when I say Toronto, I don't mean GTA...
Not even Woodbridge is covered...
Anywhere outside of those areas and you pay airtime... |

Phishing Android apps explain our maxed-out credit cards
There's no such thing as a perfect mobile app store strategy -- you're either too draconian, too arbitrary, or too loose in your policies, and as far as we can tell, there's no way to find a balance that isn't going to trigger an alarm here and there or get a few people worked into a lather. If you're too loose, for instance, you're liable end up with the occasional bout of malware, which is exactly what appears to have gone down recently in the Android Market with a few fake banking apps published by a bandit going as "Droid09." As you might imagine, the apps end up doing little more than stealing your information and ending your day in tears; the apps have since been pulled, but that's probably little consolation for those already affected. The moral of the story? Be vigilant, keep a close eye on those system permissions the Market warns you about as you install new apps, report sketchy ones, and -- as always -- use a hearty dose of common sense.
Google imposes $350 early termination fee for subsidized Nexus One in addition to carrier's own ETF
Here's another reason to consider going the unlocked route with the Nexus One, in addition to having the AT&T (non-3G) and international GSM option. As a number of people have noticed, Google's got its own Early Termination Fee (ETF) equivalent, here called the Equipment Recovery Fee, in the terms of sale, to the tune of $350 if you cancel within the first 120 days. Sound familiar? It's because we saw it in a leak just before the new year. Here's the kicker, though: this is in addition to any fees imposed by the carrier -- not necessarily a problem on its own, but we just glanced at T-Mobile's terms of sale, and sure enough, there's an associated ETF up to $200. If we're reading this right, Nexus One owners who decide to end their service after the 14-day trial period is over but before four months have passed will be hit with upwards of $550 in fees -- more than if you bought the phone outright from the start, especially when you factor in the upfront $180. There hasn't been enough time for someone to tempt fate, but who knows -- come January 20th when early adopters' trial period ends, there might be some interesting stories abound. |

Local calling areas are the areas in which you can make or receive calls without incurring long distance charges. These changes will provide clarity around our local calling area boundaries and may make your bill easier to understand.

All other aspects of your service will remain the same.

"For this case, better call Rogers Customer Relations dept and force them to give you R2R free or 1000 CDN LD mins free to your account. Tell them it's unfair to they've changed your "contract" policy you've signed up for.
If they won't budge, you can legally cancel without facing ECF & DECF for this reason. You have 30 days to do this ..." |
