Videotron Launches 6GB/$30 Smartphone Plan; Will Bell, Rogers, and Telus Follow?

Phillip Dampier June 29, 2011 Canada, Competition, Vidéotron, Wireless Broadband 2 Comments

Videotron has opened a new window of opportunity for wireless users looking for higher usage smartphone data allowances with the introduction of a 6GB for $30 plan the company says is available for a limited time only.

Canadian wireless customers are well used to 6GB data plans — they show up periodically from Bell, Rogers, and Telus, usually coinciding with the launch of another new version of Apple’s iPhone, but Videotron seeks to heat up the competition this summer with a new offer.

Videotron, a popular wireless carrier in Quebec, may be able to inspire counteroffers from other carriers re-launching similarly priced promotions in the days ahead.

Compared to pricing in the United States, this is a reasonably good deal.  AT&T charges $25 for just 2GB per month and Verizon will seek $30 for the same allowance early next month.

i’m pretty sure that i saw a Verizon commercial recently for unlimited mobile Internet access…

Anyway, Bell-owned Virgin Mobile also offers the 6GB/$30/month plan, but only in Québec and also only for a limited time.

The best i could get for my Telus phone is $55/month for unlimited local calling, 3GB of tetherable mobile Internet, caller ID, voicemail 10, and a 250 text pack. Not too bad…
