Attention all people who are using their iPhone in Canada on the $7 unlimited browsing ($20 communicate) pack. Apparently Rogers/Fido is going to start cracking down on ineligible phone users starting April 15th!
It has been reported on Howard Forums that the billing system will begin charging those who are not using eligible phones at the 5 cent per kb rate starting April 15.

This means that all people who are on this plan better be careful. You definitely don't want a surprise bill next month. However, many people using this plan think that they wont know and wont be charged. When they are charged, the cliche phrase will apply "told you so".
The other bad news is that is possible that the Windows Mobile plans wont work on the iPhone either. Rogers has a $80 500mb Windows Mobile plan, it would be a shame if it no longer works on the iPhone.
What if you changed your IMEI?
You are still out of luck. Fido and Rogers will be able to tell what you are using the data for. If you are not using the Fido or Rogers browser and are not specifically WAP browsing, you will be charged.
Unfortunately there is no way around this which is sad for the the iPhone users in Canada. I wish that they came out with some kind of decent plan or a plan that was meant for non-branded or unlocked phones. I don't know what Rogers and Fido are thinking, there must be hundreds of thousands of people on their network using unlocked phones, why are they forgetting about us?
