As you know in just a few days time, we will be able to get our hands on the new 3G Apple iPhone. Most network carriers around the world have adopted the unlimited data pricing structure, but we are surprised to learn that Canada’s Rogers Wireless has decided not to join in the unlimited data pricing structure party.
The guys over at Phones Review learned of this and decided to explain to us as to why Rogers Wireless has made this decision, well in their own unique way.
They have come to the conclusion that Rogers Wireless does not see themselves as just another Apple iPhone 3G supplier. Why else would they not adopt the unlimited data plans, which does seem the way to go. It seems as if Rogers Wireless does not care about their customers, with that in mind we could see them losing a bundle of 3G Apple iPhone sales.
So why would Rogers Wireless have gone against what other carriers are doing, well there has to be one simple answer to that, and that is they wish to earn as much profit from Canadian iPhoners as possible. Why else would they not want to provide a decent service and give customers what they want? Fido are also not offering the unlimited data plans, so if you are a Canadian iPhone user, then looks as if you are getting a raw deal.
The sad fact of the matter is those of live in Canada and wish to own a 3G Apple iPhone, have no choice but to put up with this terrible decision from Rogers Wireless and Fido. If I was one of you I would not get the new handset, make these guys sweat a little and maybe they might just change their minds.

No iPhone for me. I plan to cancel my internet and cell phone services with Rogers ON July 11th. I will buy an iPod touch instead and use a separate cell phone with Telus mobility.
“Robbers” will not be getting ANY MORE OF MY MONEY come July 11th and I hope the iPhone launch in Canada is a COMPLETE FAILURE while being a huge success everywhere else! Rogers will price for our crooked market so if NO ONE BUYS FROM ROGERS, the price will quickly drop.
BOYCOTT ROGERS!!!
