Selling my iPhone 3g
Ever since I got my Blackberry 9700 Bold I haven’t had a need to use my iPhone 3g, even for Tethering. So I’ve decided to attempt to sell my iPhone 3g. The Phone is perfectly fine, minus the silent mode switch being missing. (the little knob on the side of the phone). But other than that everything is perfectly fine.
It’s a Black 16GB iPhone locked onto the Rogers network. Of course it can be unlocked so it can be used for any gsm network. My asking price for it right now is $300 dollars.
Rogers iPhone promotion
Due to popular customer demand, Rogers has caved in in offering a promotion of a data only plan of 6GB a month for 30 dollars more on top of any voice plan. This is significantly better than their previous top iPhone plan which costs 115 a month for only 2GB of data. This plan takes effect on July 11th and will run until August 31st 2008. Anyone who purchases an iPhone within this time period can take that offer, which is 1 step further to an unlimited data plan. haha
A few stores in Canada (see roger’s press release for more information) is opening their stores at 8am for advanced iPhone purchases for anyone anxious to buy the an iPhone. As well as complementary breakfast and prizes to be won.
Fido to sell iPhones, Rogers iPhone plans announced
Fidos, a gsm based phone service that was bought by Rogers a few years ago, has announced it too will be selling the iPhone under the Fido brand. Though ultimately it’s still Rogers.
On other news, Rogers announces their iPhone plan. Though its not what I was hoping for, the data allowance is too low in my opinion. But here are the official data plans.
| Monthly | $60 | $75 | $100 | $115 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weekday Minutes | 150 | 300 | 600 | 800 |
| Evenings and Weekends | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Data | 400MB* | 750MB* | 1GB* | 2GB* |
| Sent Text Messages | 75 | 100 | 200 | 300 |
| Additional Weekenday Minutes (per minute) | $0.35 | $0.35 | $0.25 | $0.15 |
| Additional Sent Text Messages | $0.15 each | $0.15 each | $0.15 each | $0.15 each |
*Additional data charges are $0.50 per MB for the first 60MB. $0.03 per MB afrerwards
Other essential plans such as Call Display, Who Called, more send text messages, Caller Ring Trax, call forwarding minutes and early evening calling is 15-20 dollars more.
*Update. Forgot to add. There is also a $6.95 charge for “system access fee”. Also it appears you are not limited to only iPhone plans. You can pick voice and data plan available on their website. As well as you do not have to buy Data plan (although it would make the iPhone just another cell phone without data plan) Without a data plan, using the 3g network costs 5 cents per kilobyte or 51 dollars per megabyte. so it would be best to buy a data plan.
Also the announcements of the plan has triggered and uproar in potential iPhone customers in Canada creating ruinediphone.com. A site created around a petition to rogers to make the plans more fair and comparable to AT&T’s plans and pricing. So far over 30 000 users have signed it. All it needs now is for Rogers to cave into the demand and lower prices on the iPhone AND include unlimited data.
Rogers has also updated their pricing plans to include unlimited local calling in the first 3 months.
keep checking Roger’s iPhone plan for up to date plan details
