When I've called, I've always been told that this is a PC card plan only. How do you go about getting this plan (i.e., $65/1GB) for a phone?

Would you be able to post the link on the Rogers site with the plan details? That would be a significant improvement and even better than Telstra's rates.

–or–

real data plan (still expensive but better):
- 65$ for 1GB
- 75$ for 2GB
- 85$ for 3GB
- 100$ for 5GB (and 3cents for MB after)

If you pick the 65$ for 1GB, it's about 6 cents per MB, not KB!

I really think they are moving in the right direction
