Guest Hiten. Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 OK so the iphone has 3 different ways to access the internet. 1. wifi. basically the same that you use for your laptop.. you're home wifi. Your iphone can connect to it. This can be done when you're home or at a store or something. You obv cant get wifi while driving... 2. 3G. 3G is a connection type, which is "broadband for phones. " This comes wirelessly.. so its like broadband internet on your phone.. wherever you are. 3. EDGE. Edge is another connection type, and it is not as fast as 3g. Not all places have 3g, as it is a new technology and is not installed everywhere. The iphone can connect to edge wherever 3g isnt there. the 6gb/month is the limit on downloading stuff to your phone from 3g and EDGE. aah ! Thanks holy baba. Appreciate che :--D I don't need an internet connection on my PHONE. You lot are wanna be busy bees :P
Rajiv Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 :banghead::banghead: I guess I am stuck with the ***** I've got right now. I never knew you couldn't upgrade your phone while you're on contract. I was always under impression that you could change your handset but not the plan while being under the contract. What is 6 GB/mo = 30$ charge for ? They charge you for internet browsing on your phone ? I thought we could access our wireless internet via Iphone. Sorry its a n00bie question :nervous: You are never stuck, if you renew 3 more years ( for eg., ure 6 mths passed ur 3 year and u have 2.5 years left ) why wouldn't they want to retain you, you can upgrade plans As for hardware upgrade, when was the last time you got a discounted phone from Fido? usually an hardware upgrade ( ie., special pricing such as iphone ) is after 2 years in service All you need to know is call them and tell them I want this, what can you do for me. Luckily, Fido is not as backed up as rogers, rogers system along with iphone's server just couldn't handle the load today About the 30 charge, its the data plan. You surf on your cellphones, WM's and Blackberries.through data plans and rogers was originally charging $100 for this but thanx to online petition and pressure form apple, this $30/6b monthly ( a whole lotta browsing and email and youtube ) is on till aug 31st From what I read today =, its even better than At & T - they have a 5GB cap/mth ( although advertised as unlimited ) I tell ya, its the monthly cost but what a great phone
Holysmoke Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 aah ! Thanks holy baba. Appreciate che :--D I don't need an internet connection on my PHONE. You lot are wanna be busy bees :P Thats how I felt too.. but once I started using it, I fell into the black hole.. there is no way out.. I NEED it now:hysterical:

I was with Fido for 1.5 years prior to that but I was not under any contract. As you can see, I have fulfilled (almost) 7 months with Fido under that 3 year contract. My question to you is, am I eligible for the 'hardware upgrade' ?
ludhianvi Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 blue_brigade, do check out rfd from time to time if you're not already familiar with them. They have some pretty good deals and discussion. For instance, a sample of some threads http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=376936&page=158 http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=611938 Bump. Got mine. Its friggin amazing Take some picture or video with it dude or upload some cricket videos and watch them when you commute:D
Guest Hiten. Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Thanks ludh. Will check it out. ** If you already have an agreement, you can renew it to get a 8GB 3G iPhone for $249 or a 16GB 3G iPhone for $349. You'll also receive a $50 credit on your first or second invoice if you subscribe to a monthly plan over $30. Renewals can be made 6 months before your agreement ends on a 2-year plan and 14 months before it ends on a 3-year plan. Rajeev, Why exactly am I not eligible for a renewal ?
Rajiv Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Thanks ludh. Will check it out. Rajeev, Why exactly am I not eligible for a renewal ? Hmm, did I say you can't? :nervous:

Online Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 ..u know what I couldnt do, I uploaded 2 cricket vids and went out. I went to youtube via safari and found my vids were uploaded but I couldnt find a link to upload to ICF, and even if there was, how to copy/paste a link P.S I searched for my vids today but it sorts by view by default and no other option Not all youtube videos are available on the iphone. Only videos that are specially converted for the iphone format can be seen on youtube. The reason is that the processor inside the iphone cannot render all formats properly - u need a processor with an x86 base for that.
