The average Rogers Wireless customer spent $63.23 a month on wireless services in the fourth quarter of 2009 according to figures published today by Rogers.

So how does your Rogers Bill stack up?

Interestingly, smartphone users generate nearly twice the revenue of voice only subscribers

Well, to answer the question, I only have a mobile with them, and my bill, after GST and Qc PST, is about 75$. So basically 66.45$ before taxes. That include all the fees they add on top of the bundle .

I use only voice. Data is too costy for now in my eyse in Canada, so I rely on wifi and an ipod for thoses needs (in my city it's relatively not difficult - could be better).

Because of the now well implanted habit of making contracts for 3 years, I don't see many change in the near future. In the long run maybe.

I saw an offer much better then what I get from a competitor here. We'll see what is available in the market in december, date where I will be free.

That's about right for me (pre-tax). I have three wireless lines, including two iPhones, and they average in that range. My blackberry often runs into the hundreds of dollars (overages above my US bucket of minutes and overseas data) but that's a different story.

$76 for my iPhone. When the iPad comes out I might drop my 3g plan and just use Skype, wifi & my headset. I don't use a phone much at all.

On average I think we are below average. We have two phones, one with data, and I think our average is about $50, maybe slightly less.

According to my latest bill, I paid $32.44 after taxes.

$42/month for me.

Mine is $118.63 before taxes. That's for the iphone.

I'm at $67 + tax, voice and 6GB data

I would guess that 90% of the members here are below average simply because the big bills are corporate users who spend all day on the phone for business.
