I have an iPhone 3GS locked to Rogers and am successfully using the SO data plan. I have not been able to get push notifications to work though (either through the EDGE connection or WIFI). The phone is not jailbroken and not unlocked.

Has anyone got push notifications working on a non-jailbroken Rogers iPhone?

I don't have the exact phone provider but I am using an AT&T unlocked jailbroken iphone 3GS and push notification works even over the EDGE/3G with speakout. Even the email push works fanstatic using gmail "exchange" settings!

Oh, did you have to apply a patch or something on your JB's iphone to get push notifications to work?

I had to use a profile using binarysearchtree's instructions. Worked perfectly after that. Absolutely love using the 3gs as the only thing of note not working is youtube.

Seems my situation is even stranger... I discovered that push notifications work exactly when I am in Airplane Mode with Wifi Activated. Somehow, being out of airplane mode (i.e. being connected to the cellular network via sim card) is preventing me from getting push notifications either through wifi or edge
