apple Iphone 3g

[tzetsin]

This is a call to any person who frequents remote area's (ie, anywhere a rig goes in alberta) with a ROGERS phone...

now i'm quite aware of the massive suckyness of the rogers network, and truethfully, i have NO love for the apple i phone. But as far as circumstances are, i'm fairly pissy with BELL. I do a "fair" amount of data on my cell phone every now and then... and by "fair" i mean less than 30 bloody megabytes per month. i'd do more but i'm scared of the huge cost of going over my plan (6 bucks per mb) that is already way over priced (60 dollars for 30 mb)...

so i'm talking to a friend of mine who works at a rogers wireless store, she tells me i can get SIX GIGS for 30 bucks if you get a contract and the iphone... now... i dont do that much data with my phone... but mostly because i stop myself, if i had the data, i'd surely use it...

i'd drop bell in a hot minute if i thought their service area was worth a damn, but from what i hear it sucks. does anyone have the iphone that works in the patch? or remote areas anyway? is the phone a total piece of junk? let me know... i want to call bell and complane, but before that i need to be willing to backup my threats....

The phone is a great piece of technology but Rogers' service coverage blows chunks at times. The great thing about Rogers and their devices is that they gain access to a broadened range of networks increasing effective range (i.e. superior to Bell and Telus).

you mean to say that if i'm in the bush, the rogers phone will work on whomevers network it can jack into?

Roger's GSM network is AWFUL out west. If you don't live in a major center and stay in that area forget about it. Telus and Bell are you only real choices here..

Grande Cache is a giant Void for Rogers, I used to work for Schlumberger there.

Grande Cache has 0 Rogers service. My workblackberry use to be on Rogers and everytime I had to go to GC, I was hooped. :angry2: Thankfully new one is with Bell.

I get huge holes at UWO in London. It could be my phone as well though aka RAZR. I'm looking into getting a new phone because I'm due for a HUP.
