Seriously though, O2's prices in general are completely wacky these days. The up-front prices that they're charging for all phones are terrible in comparison to the other carriers. ]]>Jun 9th 2009 12:33PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/09/iphone-3g-s-plans-revealed-on-rogers-o2/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/09/iphone-3g-s-plans-revealed-on-rogers-o2/Jun 9th 2009 12:44PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/09/iphone-3g-s-plans-revealed-on-rogers-o2/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/09/iphone-3g-s-plans-revealed-on-rogers-o2/
Me and a mate worked out that you could get the 32 GB iPhone 3G S on pay as you go, top up £10 a month for 18, and pay £10 a month for the the final 6 months for the unlimited internet, and it WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN GETTING IT ON THE CHEAPEST 18 MONTH CONTRACT.

NOT. CHEAP.]]>Jun 9th 2009 12:56PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/09/iphone-3g-s-plans-revealed-on-rogers-o2/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/09/iphone-3g-s-plans-revealed-on-rogers-o2/Jun 9th 2009 1:19PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/09/iphone-3g-s-plans-revealed-on-rogers-o2/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/09/iphone-3g-s-plans-revealed-on-rogers-o2/
- 3 Year Contract required (36 months!)
- Must Subscribe to separate voice & data plans
- Voice plans have a $400 early cancellation fee, data $100 more (no big loopholes like the US)
- Typical minimum voice/data is $25/$15 = $50 (typically couple hundred minutes & megs)
- But to get something (halfway!) decent, you're probably talking v/d $40/$30 = $70 (several hundred mins, features, gigs)
- BS System Access etc fees around $8-10/mo bring those to either $58 or $78

For 36 months we're talking over $3100, not including taxes! NOT CHEAP!!!

Here the actual price for up north (Rogers Canada)

Monthly plan include 350 min any time & 500 Mo, free after 9:00 PM to 8: Am cost 65.00$/month
Voice mail cost including call display, unlimited test message cost 20.00$ /month
Monthly system access fees 6.95$ / month
911 monthly charge 0.50$/ month

So that made: 92.45 $ a MONTH plus sales taxes (13%) = 12.01 FOR A NICE MONTHLY TOTAL OF 104.46

FOR A NICE TOTAL OF 104.46 $ / MONTH TO ENJOY THIS TOY IN THE CANADIAN SIDE
ALSO YOU HAVE TO SIGN FOR 3 YEARS CONTRACT SO THAT COST YOU 3,760.56 CDN $ (ALMOST 3,350.00 us $)

AH BY THE WAY ROGERS CHARGE ALSO ONE TIME FEES FOR ACTIVATION......35.00$


SO DO THE MATH

I paid $60 included everything you mentioned and more. :)

I found it funny when people are getting high end phone but too cheap to pay their bills.
Why don't you go get a Samsung and go Pay As You Go? HA HA HA!]]>Jun 10th 2009 1:02AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/09/iphone-3g-s-plans-revealed-on-rogers-o2/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/09/iphone-3g-s-plans-revealed-on-rogers-o2/
The first and last column seem to be the same plan, and yet the first column says that the 32GB will cost £96.89 but the last column says free?!

Also, O2 have announced their tethering 'Bolt-On's'. the pricing is the same as they would charge for their 3G dongles i believe which seems completely unjust if you ask me as they already give unlimited data on the iPhone itself!]]>Jun 10th 2009 10:21AM
