As re-posted by elReg, Rogers Canada has an Unlimited plan, that is, not exactly so unlimited.
Assuming you are using their mobile browser, on their mobile devices, you should not be charged for your browsing. Use a third party phone? 5 cents a kilobyte. Yes folks, welcome to 90’s. Even using a third party browser will ding you heavily.
I am used to talking other European providers and their “unlimited plans” (capped at 200MB) and really ranting about them, but Rogers Canada? You would think Canada’s sole GSM based monopoly provider would be friendly and nice.
Well, this post is a rant and a way to get by their greedy ways.
Seeing that I may have a slight influence and this will get a LOT of attention, I will just say what you need to know. If you are crazy enough to pull it off, awesome, but I will *not* help ANYONE with any extra data (cheap pun intended)!
Rogers mobile phones use a builtin browser and that uses a specific APN. That APN has “free” internet. Take that APN, use it to connect with another program (or computer data card), and you now have “unlimited” and they’ll think you’re using their browser.
If you know what I am saying, you are already on your way. If you do not, sorry, wrong camp guys. I put “free” and “unlimited” in quotes, only Rogers knows best how to fix/screw their customers.
Disclosure: I work with mobile phones, I used to be a customer of Rogers (5 years with them and another 4 years when they bought their only competitor).
