Djsketchbag you still work for Rogers? I got an iphone in feb, and they did not offer the $30 6GB plan. They offered it for the new HTC, i tried to get it, they wouldn't give it to me. Now they are offering it for new iphone customers, and they are not giving it to me. Is there anyway around this!?
Absolute bull that I am a paying customers, trying to spend MORE money and they are not willing to let me, because I already bought the phone in Feb. All the while I wanted the plan, and they did not offer it in that small window. |
Rogers sucks just like the Jays....plain and simple. |

Any special hand shake, or magic code? Whats the catch?
They said it had to be on a hardware upgrade, and renew 3 year contract. |

I think I read somewhere (back a couple pages) that the 3GS doesn't come with the video recorder when I think I read it does.
Can anyone confirm?
I'll be ordering my 3Gs on Friday to take advantage of some upgrade discounts available. I haven't upgraded my phone with Rogers in over 5 years and apparently my revenue with the company puts me at the top tier. The sales person actually told me to wait. |

Ok awesome. Just spent the entire last 3 hours reading this thread and all I have to say is thank you to E2EK1EL for all the updates, info, and pointers you've provided.
I'm going to grab the 3Gs on Friday and so I'm clear there is no jailbreak available as of yet for this? I see that there is for the 3.0 software but does that include the 3GS?
Pumped to join the iphone gen. |
