Rogers launches chatr wireless for budget minded consumers

Rogers has officially launched their budget-minded chatr wireless service. The offer seems simple enough, pick a phone and pick a plan. And the best (or worst) part, there are limited options available.

In the case of the calling plans — two. Those interested in chatr can choose between the $35 or $45 per month plan. As for what you get — in both cases unlimited incoming talk, unlimited incoming text and call display, call waiting, call forwarding and group calling. Otherwise, the $35 per month plan has unlimited outgoing talk to anywhere in your province, 50 outgoing text messages and a $0.25 per minute charge for voicemail retrieval. And as you would expect, the $45 per month plan better covers those basics. In this case the outgoing talk is expanded to anywhere in Canada, the outgoing text messages are unlimited and the voicemail retrieval is also included.

As for the phones, there are four available — the Nokia 1661 for $60, the LG GB125R for $75, the Nokia 2680 for $95 and the Samsung Gravity for $130. And all come with no contract.
