Canadian carriers Bell, Telus say they're working on iPad 2 data plans

by Megan Lavey-Heaton Mar 7th 2011 at 6:00PM

Electronista reports that Canadian carriers Bell and Telus have notified their customers that iPad 2 data plans will be coming within the next few weeks. Another Canadian carrier, Rogers, will keep existing iPad data plans in place for its customers going forward. There's no word on just exactly what the Bell and Telus plans will look like, but details on how they work are supposed to be released soon.

The iPad 2 will be launched in Canada on March 25, two weeks after the US release. And no, there will not be any carrier locks -- looks like Canadian customers will have plenty of data plans to choose from.

The big 3 collude to jack up the price anyway. The prices are very similar across the board and the top-tier plan is $35 for 5GB. Differentiation!!!

At least one good thing is that Rogers allow you to tether for free if you have a plan with 1GB or more. That makes MiFi entirely legal.

Also if you have an iPhone AND an iPad, shared data must be allowed...

I just hope they don't use the iPad 2 as a reason to jack up the prices...

Regardless,
Canadian data plans are still amongst the most expensive in the world.

If they do 250megs for $10 I think we have a winner. $15 is too much money for that price you should get 1gb
