Rogers said, WE DO NOT COVER FOR SOFTWARE ISSUES

WTF??? It was you who send a SMS to update the OS and now you said that you are not responsible?

bottom line they want to buy a new phone with 3 year contract again !!!!

I prefer to pay 420$ and cancel my service (120$ a month)

ROGERS is definetely one of the worst companies in Canada

DO NOT GO WITH ROGERS

  1. what specifically is AIRPLANE MODE turning off? if i turn on airplane mode, am i disconnecting myself from both the AT&T network AND the 3G network?

  2. what gives you text messaging? AT&T or 3G or some combination of both?

  3. what gives you access to the internet? 3G, WiFi or both?

  4. what takes priority – 3G or WiFi? i.e. if i’m somewhere with a strong wifi signal but a low 3G signal, will i get the same data speed? do they work together to bring you data? or does one take priority over the other?

…trying to get it so i can set it and save battery life!

Can i disable the G3 and Edge network. I have had Verizon sales tell me they will not sell me a data phone if i don't activate the data plan which i found out later is illegal. Verizon is to expensive 180 dollars a month with no data no messaging and no roll over, yea for me. </p> <p>So will these apps you are talking about block G3 and Edge from starting up and causing a mega cell phone bill? Can AT&T decline to sell me a IPhone or decline to activate the i-phone if purchased direct from apple w/ out the data plan (i have had that happen before with verizon)?</p> Ok Canadians, how does this all apply to the US based AT&T plans.

I have called fido for the iphone since i'm planning on getting one, and asked for the data to be blocked. They said although they block it can sometimes switch to 3G and start charging me data, and therefore would have to pay the amount charged. I would like to know if this is true, or they're only saying this to make me buy the data plan. Do you think I should still get the iphone. Thanks</p> Hello everyone.
