Rogers wireless: “300MB for $20″

In the spirit of sharing, I thought I’d let you know about a call I had with a Rogers customer service rep tonight…

I have a first generation hacked iPhone and some very good legacy calling plans + extras from Rogers. I’ve decided not to upgrade to the new iPhone so I called Rogers tonight to see if they could upgrade my data plan to something better than the 10MB I have right now.

I end up chatting with a lovely rep. She looked into the available data plans and offered me 300MB for $30 a month. Not bad. Then she said “because you’re so nice” and offered me a $10 per month credit on my account. So that’s 300MB for $20 – a pretty good deal in my humble opinion.

I asked if this was 3G or EDGE and she said I could use the data on either. I didn’t take her up on the offer right away because I want to look at a couple of other options first. She said I could call back to activate the plan anytime.

If you are looking for a data upgrade without going for an iPhone it might be worth calling Rogers and asking about this.

Hope this helps!
