Removing the data from your current plan is possible provided that you don't have a voice+data combo plan and have voice and data as two separate parts of your current plan.
Rogers doesn't have a method to switch the data over to a new line, but what they can do is cancel it on your current plan and create a new data only line with its own number and whatnot (2 lines, 1 account). Data only lines do have their own phone number even though you generally can't dial out or text on them.
A few issues to note.
1. You'd be required to pay a DECF for cancelling the data on your iPhone plan. Unless your were lucky to get a presumably Customer Relations rep who was nice enough to credit the DECF under this case, you'd probably have to pay it even though your opening a new line to counteract the revenue loss to Rogers.
2. Not all plans can be data only. For example, you can't activate $30/6GB LTE plan on a data only. Can't be done, not even if your willing to sign a 3-year term contract.
Since your voice and data plan is combined, there is simply no way for you to go about this currently. What I think are your options.
1. You would need to drop to a voice only plan and pay any accompanying fees, then open a new line for a Sierra Wireless 754S Rocket Hotspot and pick from the available HSPA or LTE data plans.
2. Switch your current plan to a separate voice and data plan, choose the $30/6GB LTE data plan while it's still available and pay $10/month to share the data to the Rocket Hotspot.
Not 100% sure if this is accurate, but that is how I understand it.
you can have a 10g rocket stick ard and you will still only get 3G speeds with a 3G phone! the hardware in the iphone only is able to get a mx of 3g speeds!

LOL! Next time, slow down and read the op before you attempt to comment.

I don't think Rogers will allow me to pay $10/month to access the 6GB that I already have access to. Regardless, I don't want to pay $10/month to access the data that I'm already paying for. Unfortunately Apple still doesn't have an iPhone with LTE yet. I really want LTE so I'm thinking of buying the Sierra Wireless 754S. Then my iPhone will have LTE speed at the expense of me having two devices (not really a problem since I carry a messenger bag or briefcase with me). Unfortunately my data plan is embedded with my voice plan when I bought my iPhone 4 from Rogers. I know that Rogers can add a code to my account to enable access to the LTE network. Will Rogers allow me to split the data plan off my iPhone? I still have about 1.5 years left on my contract.
you said right in ur 1st post that your iphone would have lte speeds. and thats why i said your iphone cant! its the hardware in the iphone that doesnt allow lte speeds
maybe you should slow down and read your own posts

Obviously your reading comprehension skills are very poor because that's not what I said. I never once suggested that the iPhone have LTE.
