Unlimited Nothing

February 5th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

So Rogers (and their other brand, Fido) have Unlimited Data plans. And guess what? The fine print is so bad I do not know whether to laugh or cry. The Fido page says

The Unlimited surfing on your Fido option includes unlimited mobile surfing on your handset only and is only available on selected handsets (non-Fido certified handsets, WindowsMobile devices and PC cards are not eligible). Data usage incurred on ineligible handsets and devices, incurred while tethering (using a handset or device as a wireless modem or laptop) or incurred using non-Fido (third party) applications downloaded to your handset will be subject to pay-per-use charge of 5¢ per KB. Option applies within Canada only. While roaming outside Canada, data transmission charge of 5¢ per KB apply, except in the U.S. where data transmission charges of 1¢ per KB apply.

The Rogers page has a few good ones too, have a look.

This means that I can have unlimited data, but only on devices where I would likely not use much, right?

The Torontoist has an article on this subject.
