    How to Get Unlimited Data with Rogers for the 3G iPhone

    I just came across this article by accident while searching for iPhone news.

    Has anyone been able to do this?

    Here's the link: http://iphonenews.ca/index.php/2008/...phone/#respond

    Doesn't sound right. Isn't the $7/month unlimited web plan WAP only?

    Yes, you're right. How can one add or disable APN settings on the iPhone settings and ensure you're using only GoRogers.com?

    When you get 6 gigs for $30 who needs to scam unlimited? If you can't afford the 30 a month you should have stuck with the ipod touch.

    They should bust those people and force them to pay PPU. No $100 overage protection for them either.

    I believe that I read that sometimes when you connect to iTunes for an update, it will reset your internet connection so that it will use the regular Rogers internet setting and some users received an unexpected surprise on their bill.

    Also, as the aircard and the $30 for 6GB issue shows with Rogers/Fido, it is very easy for the company to know what device you're using by looking at the IMEI number which is transmitted everytime your GSM phone is authenticated on the network.

    I think that it is a risk for anyone to try a $7 workaround when for $30, you wouldn't have to worry about anything on your iPhone. 6GB on an iPhone is practically "unlimited".

    That's what I thought. There is a comment section in the above link where I got the info for those that would like to share their input.

    you can get unlim http data for $7 if you are on paygo.
    if you are on a regular plan they check the imei, and you'll get a big bill.
