Too funny...you fought for it...they offered it...and you didn't take it

Excellent deal overall though.

Just call telus and tell them rogers is offering $30 6GB of data including tethering and just for the heck of it mention that rogers also has the IPhone 3G S (IPhone sucks!).

Telus has lost a lot of customers to the stinky IPhone, so it hurts them to hear the "IPhone" name.

Get through to their loyalty and retention dept. and try it, they may offer you unlimited tethering as well.

I didn't realize that it was even a cheap addon option. Good to know...

I'd probably have more to leverage i.e. push the old retention button, If I hadn't just switched from Bell

C'est la vie!

I love how this thread has become a war of who has the best rate plan. everyone loves to show off when they get a good deal!

i think i'm gonna try and get free telus to telus calling. i wouldn't have even known about it if no one had mentioned it. sounds like a good deal to me! then again, anything free is a good deal i suppose.

also, what's tethering?

tethering is hooking up your phone to a laptop or pc and using your phone as a modem to browse the internet on your laptop or pc. (basically)
