Rogers Wireless $20 Value Pack adds unlimited text messaging

by Darren Murph posted Jan 25th 2009 at 10:10AM

Nothing too exceptional here, but the texters in attendance should certainly have a listen. Just a week after Rogers Wireless launched two new unlimited packs for BlackBerry users, the Canadian carrier has upgraded the $20 Value Pack (for standard handsets) to include unlimited texting, up from 2,500 previously. Like we said, nothing too incredible -- unless you've been burned of late for sending over 2,500 texts in a month.

Rogers has put a cap on it at 10,000 texts
so it isn't necessarily unlimited
but yes it is a big step up from 2500

Rogers can't even get unlimited data going. Rogers is SHIT. But they're Canada's only GSM provider (Fido is owned by Rogers) so I have no choice. If only Bell went GSM...

Bell and Telus have both stated that they will have GSM phones in their library within a year or two. They will keep the CDMA as well though. Hopefully that will wake Rogers up and make everyone's prices drop dramatically. And then the Leprechauns and unicorns will come from the land of Nod and show us powerful wisdom and insights into life love and happiness. That or we will still get raped on prices like always.

But ya, Bell and Telus really are going to have GSM soon...

"This is huge news for the wireless industry in Canada. We are hearing strong rumours than both Bell and Telus will be switching (or at least launching) an HSPA (GSM) network in Canada by 2010. You heard it here first. Rumours and speculation about the switch have been swirling for a while, but this time it looks like it’s for real."
