Ya true.
I am finally messing with it right now.
Its kinda slow to pick up the carriers, it shows ATT 3G and ATT (which is edge after messing with it).
I have it constantly locked in with ATT 3G now. When I am down there will all the carriers show up under that tab?
It will show both ATT and both Telcels right? |
Of course it's slow, it's scanning for networks ... You're expecting something magical?
You will pick up 5 of our carriers.
Rogers
Fido
Telus
Bell
Virgin
When I was in the states, I picked ...
AT&T
T-Mobile |

I just upgraded to the 6 Gig plan for only 10 bux more a month.
I was on the 40 dollar value data package, which included a lot of nice goodies the 30 dollar 6 gig plan didnt, but all those goodies were added again as a 20 dollar value pack, which makes for a ten dollar difference from what I was paying for only 500MB
BTW, browsing by tethering is actually way faster on my laptop than browsing on the phone. MyWi is a sick app. |

For those interested - I was just able to HUP over the phone to the iphone4 (directly through the Rogers Retenion Centre). It was pretty easy to do - Just told them I couldn't get out to a store to pick one up - and they set me up. Should arrive in 3-5 business days...

oh awesome. I need to give Rogers a call. Did you do this through normal customer service or retention? |

Customer relations is the department they transferred me to. Just ask for the 30 dollar 6 gig plan and add the 20 dollar value pack that includes call answer, call display, voice mail, unlimited text, bla bla bla :) Theres an iphone value pack too that includes visual voice mail, instead of the text message that gives you your voice mail in a text. |

Nice, gonna try tonight.
EDIT: The switching carrier story isnt gonna work for me as I just updated my data plan hence on another 3 year term, so my buy out for leaving would be more than out right buying the damn phone. |

Ya I did that.
30-40 seconds is fine with me, I just kinda thought the phone was freezing for the first few times haha
Thanks again guys.  |

| Yes that's the time frame ever phone takes to scan networks ... 30 secs ain't gonna make you jump off a bridge will it? |

Got my iPhone today after waiting in line at the SQ1 Apple store. I got there at 7:15am and left the mall around 11:00am.
The problem is fido is contract stacking (not new news). I called customer retention and they said there is nothing they can do but made a note on my account. What a load of crap. |
Contract stacking? That's retarded! Well if that's going to be the case I'm going to call them up and tell them I'm cancelling my current contract and just going with Telus. Considering I'm a good customer since my phone bills are ridiculously high |
