After much waiting and anticipation, Canadians can now sink their teeth into some hard data from Rogers on their iPhone 3G pricing plans. All of the new plans are going to require a 3-year contract, and they will include visual voicemail, free evenings and weekends, and unlimited WiFi at all Rogers and Fido hotspots.
Plans are starting at $60/month for 150 minutes of voice and 400MB of data… and top out at $115/month for 800 minutes of voice and up to 2GB of data.
*sigh*, still no unlimited plan for Canadians.

I’m really starting to get sick of the ridiculous data charges up here in Canada. Was really hoping the iPhone would usher in a new, reasonable, ‘unlimited’ data era up here. Guess I’m wrong so far. It’s time for Canadians to bend over and take what Rogers is giving them.
