Safe shopping folks. Buyers Beware of the Apple Iphone from Rogers or anywhere else that plans on raping you to purchase such an expensive phone. Get the Fvck outdoors people and unplug yourselves from the matrix. Buy a piece of shit pay as you go phone, get the cheap unlimited plan and you won’t have to argue with whiney little b*tchez on this fantastic website.

P.S. Fvck U Rogers. From most if not all of us. Stop Raping the Innocent!

It is no wonder that while the rest of the world enjoys 10Mbit internet, TV and video-chat on their cell phones, we in Canada are stuck with 10 year old service and cell phones that the rest of the world traded in years earlier. We pretty much invented telecommunications, and yet here we are today. If there was ever proof that lack of competition stifles innovation, this is it.

“But there’s competition”, they say. But it seems all the major companies operate nearly exactly the same way, leaving the customer with virtually no choice.

In an ideal world, the customer should be able to permanently own his own phone number and cell phone, and to use them on any and every cell phone service provider.

Also, people do complain about gas. And about cell phone plans. And non-smoking by-laws, and just about anything else they can complain about. Not sure where you’re coming from there big chucker?

These are the same people complaining about the price of gasoline these days, but would they ever think to complain about the price of their cellphone plan? No way! It’s amazing how incredibly dim-witted people are. They’ll pay thousands to be hip (like anyone else cares, lol), but they’ll complain about something a lot more useful like the price of gas being too high.

It just astounds me.. Every single Canadian that buys this piece of junk makes the rest of us look bad.

All in all, it’s a toy that’s in a class that’s always been expensive. That’s why I’ve never owned a Blackberry and it’s mostly business clients. Now they’ve made a device, in that category, that is wanted by a wider range of people. People who don’t like the expensive category. If Lexus managed to spin one of their cars in such a way that a broader range of people want it, those people would complain that Lexus is ripping off Canadians with high priced cars. They’ve always been high priced. People who aren’t used to buying Lexus’ now want one. People who aren’t used to Smartphones and their data plans now want an iPhone.

Oddly enough, I think owning a Lexus is a status symbol. I did go and contradict myself. Please disregard that fact.

service access fee lol it was required in teh 80’s when cell phones came out but once the companies were no longer charged the fee they continued to charge the customers. Sadly rogers and Fido are the best cell companies in canada in terms of networks etc. Bell just sucks and is costly for a highly outdated network.

Either way if you want an iphone just refer to the small text on the fido site(fido is a subsidiary of rogers) saying you don’t need to get one of the iphone plans. And if your a current Rogers/Fido customer the phone will cost $249 if you want to renew your contract.
