According to Wikipedia, Rogers scrapped the unlimited plan in August 2008.

From what I can tell, their unlimited browser allows you to browse freely on your cell phone. HOWEVER, you must use the included browser. According to a Fido rep, it does not allow for downloading to your cell, but my girlfriend never got charged for her downloads, so the rep was probably full of air.

Currently Telus offers unlimited on smartphones for an extra $30 per month, and Bell offers unlimited on their cell phones for $7 per month.

As Dtx mentioned before – 7$ is “mobile browsing” plan, which is different from data plan. With mobile browsing your phone communicates with Rogers servers and Rogers sends requests to web sites on your behalf, acting as proxy . Disaadvantages – limitation which sites you can go to and protocoles that you can use with your phone (eg. POP3 won’t work)

As far as I know Rogers doesn’t have unlimited data plan, the best data plan that you can get 500MB per month for 200$

i’m in total confusion. some people have gotten away with using the 7$ unlimited data on iphones here in canada… i’ve heard of it working on n95s as well… but then everywhere i look i also see people not being able to make use of it… whenever i speak to anybody in person, i hear stories of having no problems whatsoever. and then when i go online all the forums are full of people complaining that they’ve been gouged by rogers…? i assume that rogers is able to track imei numbers, but do the question is, for 6.whatever users, do they actually track everybody?!

It’s an unlimited “mobile browsing” plan for $7 a month. The $20 plan is a value pack that includes the $7 plan.
Rogers does not offer an unlimited data plan that will work on smart phones or for tethering (unfortunately).

This is crappy plan from rogers. We canadians get screwed again.
Apparenly this plan will not work on unlocked phones(confirmed), pda (htc), bb. Only on rogers approved devices, with rogers browser. So you cant even freely browse, just what ever they give you(myspace, facebook, google search…).
If you use Opera Mini you are screwed again.
This all has been confirmed numerous times.

And i got happy for nothing, as i was thinking about nice N95.
