WOW. Rogers $60/month iPhone plan doesn’t seem so bad anymore. I am currently subscribed to a lot of news feeds that I receive via TEXT message on my cell phone (How else do you think Access Winnipeg stays up to date :) ) Other people also use the facebook text feature that sends you a text when you get a message, or a friend adds you.
So this is a HUGE warning to all Telus and Bell customers. If you have these features enabled, you might want to turn them off… and also need to tell your boyfriend that the 3 “I LOVE YOU” text messages a night are going to start costing you 45 cents!!!!
As far as I know, Rogers is still offering unlimited received text messages to anyone on a monthly plan.
