More than 50,000 people have complained about the high data plan cost set by Rogers Wireless in Canada. And because of the insistent public demand, Rogers Wireless finally bowed down and lowered the price of the company’s data packages.

The highly-anticipated smartphone will be sold in 6 stores located in Canada. It is still not definite if Rogers will be selling the 3G iPhone on July 11 or on a later date. The customers who will be purchasing the second-generation iPhone before August 31 are eligible for the 6 GB data plan worth $30.

A representative from Rogers Wireless said that the 6 GB plan would allow the user to visit




as much as 36,000 websites, receive or send as much as 157,000 emails and get to watch 6,300 minutes of videos from YouTube every month. However, the plan only includes sending emails and browsing the web. Customers still have to pay for additional cost if they want to make voice calls or send text messages.

The said plan is definitely cheaper compared to the plan that Rogers Wireless previously released. The previously released plan from Rogers Wireless includes 400 MB worth of data, 150 minutes of talktime during the weekdays, and unlimited minutes of talktime during the weekends. This would cost the customers $60 a month plus additional fees as well as taxes.

      an extra 30 dollers on top of the plan you already have? if so thats still expansive and the states can get an a data and phone plan for 70 dollers with 450 min and ulmimited data
      yet we pay 60 for 150 min and a measly 400mg i would rather pay the extra 10 dollers
