Another Reason the iPhone Can’t Come to Canada Yet
I saw the data rates for the iPhone posted today. I did a quick search of the three major wireless carriers to see what their plans are like. I took the basic, most inexpensive plan available for each. Here’s the comparison:
| Rogers | Bell | Telus | AT&T iPhone | |
| Monthly Price | $25 CAD | $25 CAD | $45 CAD | $60 US |
| Minutes | Not included (must be added to voice plan) | Not included (must be added to voice plan) | 100 | 450 |
| Data | 0.5MB ($31 per additional MB) | 4MB ($12 per additional MB) | 4MB (60 email cap) | Unlimited |
| Text Messages | Not included (must be added to voice plan) | Not included | Not included | 200 |
| Nights & Weekends | Not included (must be added to voice plan) | Not included | Unlimited | 5000 |

| Contract | 3 Years | None | 1, 2, or 3 Years | 2 Years |
