Comments on: Rogers on Bell & Telus launching the iPhone http://mobilesyrup.com/2009/10/28/quote-of-the-day-rogers-on-bell-telus-launching-the-iphone/ Canadian Mobile Phone News & Reviews - Cell phones and Accessories Fri, 25 May 2012 21:14:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Harlow.P http://mobilesyrup.com/2009/10/28/quote-of-the-day-rogers-on-bell-telus-launching-the-iphone/#comment-57882 Harlow.P Thu, 08 Jul 2010 17:11:00 +0000 http://mobilesyrup.com/?p=14979#comment-57882 There's no way Rogers is even giving Bell/Telus a second thought. It's true, most people know that Rogers and Fido are with the times, and obviously do have the least dropped calls. Plus the fact that Rogers cones out with data plans for the iPhone that are promoted really well and when compared with everything else seem like the best deal in the world. Conclusion? Rogers will prevail, no doubt. There’s no way Rogers is even giving Bell/Telus a second thought.

I had many dropped calls. At least once a day and I didn't use my phone that often either. Fido's 3G is horrible even in the middle of Vancouver.

Rogers rips you off, they rip a friend of mines by $700 in ONE bil. Rogers also has bad service, a friend of mines had no service in the lake Erie area, and Telus and Bell did. Telus and Bell are way better . Bell & Telus is way better than Rogers. Rogers rips you off, they rip a friend of mines by $700 in ONE bil.

I know some people to have been charge over 500$ on a single bill and it wasn't theirs in the first place. I know a guy who had no service with his blackberry in the US or even when he was on the highway in the NB, so why is Rogers saying that it was a quality and reliable network? I for one am never going to go with Rogers, Telus will do me juste fine. Rogers is full of it!

Check out the telus coverage map on their site that compares it to rogers. Pretty shocking. Yeah, it has always been strange to lose all cell reception about 2km outside of the western city limits.

SERIOUSLY wait till they fix all the problems. I've spent the last week fighting with Bell because the reception is HORRIBLE (also for some reason I can't call some of my friends and they can't figure out how to fix it. Nothing to do with my phone or theirs, it's the network). When I first got the phone the reception was fine but now with more people on the network it's just getting worse and worse. I live in Halifax and driving in the middle of the city the reception cuts in and out. In my apartment the phone doesn't work at all (I have to go outside!!!) I spent around 3 hours on the phone with Bell in the last 2 days fighting with them only to hear them say the same thing over and over again. One tech told me that this is a big problem they're having which they didn't notice when they were testing but now they see the system can't handle all of these customers and they hope to get it fixed in the next couple of months. The guy had the nerve to tell me to call in every time I experience bad reception (which is every 2 minutes while driving). I was speaking to a supervisor (who was very rude I should add) and she told me there is no way I can get out of my contract because service is not guaranteed to work everywhere and my service was cutting out because I was driving between towers (I'm driving in the middle of the city!!! It should work!) She told me that I would have to pay all the fees and there was nothing they could do for me and it's not their fault I'm unhappy with the service. I asked for a discounted rate until the system is working properly and NOTHING. They should be sued for false advertising and breach of contract because there is no way they have 93% coverage and fewest dropped calls and they are in no way providing the service they promised.

I have been with Robbers for years as I prefer a sim card over cdma. Today alone I had 3 dropped calls on the Rogers network... and I only made 4 calls.... That all changes next week when I finally get to switch to Bell and use my work's corporate plan and drop my phone bill by $17/month! hahahaha, Rogers and reliability in the same sentence!!!

Which is what I was alluding to in my other reply concerning current iPhone customers who are getting crappy reception on Rogers. And even though you may not be able to have a back up roaming ability on Telus or Bell, their HSPA coverage is going to be considerably better than Rogers'. Exactly.

So what does that mean well if on telus the hspa network goes down there is nothing for it to fall back on meaning not able to access the web on your new bell or telus iphone. With Rogers there is the fall back that we have, hspa network not work we fall back to the edge network. You will still have access to the web if the rogers hspa network fails.
