RogersPetition.com Mission Accomplished (Rogers now has 200MB plan)

The last month, my data charges were as follows: Data - Data Usage-Monthly Plan = 25,600.00kb $000.00 Data - Other Data = 35,861.44kb $251.03 Thats $250 extra dollars a month!!!! And lets not start with the month before that, when I was installing programs OTA, that month was significantly worse. Who else has these problems? If there is enough of us, I will write up a petition we can all sign, and I will present it to Rogers (through RIM contacts). Tom Example quotes from this thread. Quote:

I thought they did have an unlimited plan for $60.
|
Where as my data charges are not as high as others I've still felt for yrs. the 25MB cap is a filthy way of business, being Robbers and all it's no shock. It's a cash grab and a dirty one at that with a $7 per MB for overage charge. Don't call a $60 unlimited data plan unless it is just that, UNLIMITED...

I will sign it.

Count me in.
I paid over $1000 total for three months to Rogers for data overusages over a 3-month period (Dec 2004, Jan 2005, Feb 2005) before I significantly curbed my data usage. I have already tried to petition Rogers, but we can all do it again, since there are probably dozens more users exceeding the 25-meg cap thanks to the Rogers 8700r model. The Over-25-Megabyte BlackBerry Data Club And:
Is there any grounds for class action lawsuit? This was supposed to be called "Unlimited", but it is not actually unlimited. Plus, the "excessive usage" loophole is moot, it is no longer "excessive usage" to go beyond 25 megabytes, given the changed circumstances today. Rogers is a GSM monopoly in Canada (they own Fido too). So this is an anti-competitive pratice. I believe we have grounds for a lawsuit, no? |
Where do I sign?

New Tip - Avoid Rodgers
Well I know you can't do that, but if you want me to put something on the Tips site let me know. Is there any other choice?
|
I will sign it and re-sign it. I've been extremely frustrated by the 25MB cap and have paid stupid amounts of overage charges to Rogers. Lead the way Guess!

A mass market-shift would be a much more powerful statement than any petition. |
2 Heads are Better Than One
Maybe a silly idea, and not practical, but here goes. What if you switched to a US Carrier number with Canada roaming plan? Downside is people calling you are calling long distance to the states, so you carry a small cell phone for your incoming calls. I know back to 2 devices, or it's Bell Mobility I guess.

Now that everyone has me worried on getting the 8700, what exactly do you do that causes you to be over 25M. I am not sure that I will so maybe I should not worry about it. Can someone help me to determine that possibility of being over.
thanks |
I will sign any petition for this. All Canadian Cell carriers screw you. SAF anyone? Although I heard that there is a class action suit against Bell over the SAF. I hope they lose so that all carriers will refund this outrageous charge.
Anyhow, we need to have thousands and not hundreds on this petition if anyone will pay attention to this. |

However, I only see myself using data for the Free news app updates (3-4 times a day), email and occasional surfing in the long run. If it's exceeds 25MB for these three, I might as well give up BB. If not, I'll bump up to the 25MB / CAD $60 plan. Cheers, Sabesh. PS> Here's the link for the Bonus page: http://www.shoprogers.com/business/w...ta&cat=2&typ=2 Quote:

Robbers Wireless...yes...I like that one and that's who they really are. What they do with this unlimited plan..they should be shot for...unlimited means unlimited...not 25MB, especially while Bell M is at 100MB for the same money. Sign me up!! (y)

I just got my Rogers bill for my first full month of cautious and sparing 8700r usage.
Here goes: 31.5 megabytes! And that's with web browser image downloads permanently turned off. (I browse text-only on the BlackBerry precisely to avoid data overages!) Rogers calls this "Excessive data usage"? |
I am scared to see my next bill which will reflect almost a months use of Google Local.
|
umm
i had a 1700$ bill 200 for voice and 1500 for data in december i almost had a instant heart attack when i saw it..
and yeaa there was data usage on my bill on days i didnt use my BB @ all.. wtf.. :S i posted thsi on another thread... soo id unno if all of u read it or not |
Google local usage
The opening screen for Google Local shows "data received." I assume this is cumulative, and doesn't reset every time the unit is powered off, etc.
It shows I have received 5.2 MB of data - that's probably over about three weeks. |
