I'm interested in switching to speakout wireless. I want to use my iPhone from Rogers on this network. How does unlimited web browsing work? Do I need to pay per kilobytes as well? If I use it to surf the web (no voice call), does 25 cent/minute air time still apply (25 c per minute when web browsing?)

Also, anyone know if Google map App will work on speakout wireless?

Speakout's unlimited data plan may or may not be able to be configured on your iPhone. It uses the Edge network and costs $10/month. 3gs phones and 2g models seem to have no problems being configured to use it, but 3g models are unable to.

I'm not 100% sure a SO sim will work in a Rogers whine without unlocking either. I tried it briefly in my friends locked 3g and I couldn't get any signal.

SpeakOut only works in 2G.

Can anyone confirm if it is all iphones gs models that do not work well with speak out, or just the Rogers based models? I have a 3G Nokia E71 that has no problem with speakout data.

I'm quite aware of that. I'm mearly stating that for some reason people have only been able to get their iPhone 2g & 3gs phones to connect. Nobody is 100% sure why the 3g won't, but some feel that Rogers is forcing it to use 3g.

xentara, it really is unlimited (it's slow anyways compared to 3G so you won't be downloading much, but still very handy), no air-time costs, just the $10 a month.

If you have an iPhone 3G, don't count on this working. 3GS is fine, 2G seems fine too. Check this thread for more details:
