Revisiting the iPhone on Rogers/Fido

A few days ago, I wrote that I wasn’t planning on getting the iPhone under the data plans that Rogers/Fido offered offered.
I didn’t.
When they offered the $30/6 GB data plan, I started looking at my options and on Friday, I ordered an iPhone (16 GB, Black) with the $30/6 GB data plan, combined with my existing 300 minute plan totalling out at $75. I don’t have Visual Voicemail or text messages with this, but I can add Visual Voicemail and a few other features for $15 per month, so for $90 a month I’m getting a pretty good plan—and I don’t have to give up my long distance option.
I may shift my voice plan around a bit since the plan that I’m on has been grandfathered in and includes voicemail already (which I won’t need with Visual Voicemail) and I’m pretty sure that I can save some money doing that.
Even better, since I ordered my iPhone on-line, it’ll arrive sometime next week (without having to stand in line) and it’s going to be $48 dollars cheaper than it would have been because I had 48 “Fido Dollars” in rewards.
Go me.
