Chatr Wireless, a Rogers Communications venture, is officially open for business, and the low-cost, prepaid wireless company is keeping things simple. Chatr is currently offering a selection of four phones: the Nokia 1661 for $60, the LG GB125R for $75, the Nokia 2680 for $95, and the Samsung Gravity for $130. The company also, as reported, has two very simple contract-less calling plans: unlimited talk for $35 per month, and unlimited talk and text for $45 per month. The website http://www.chatrwireless.com is also up and running, ready to show you coverage maps, roaming rates, etc. Happy chatring!

    Soo this is exactly what City Fido was before Rogers gave it the axe, and forced its customers to normal rogers plans. What a joke, Rogers could give Unlimited calling Canada wide, but the only reason for this brand is to kill WIND and Mobilicity. Rogers is a scum corporation.

      BGR forgot to mention any calls made outside the “Unlimited zone” is charged at $0.25 a minute

    …how’s this trash going to compete against Wind or Mobilicity???, they don’t even have data!!!!

    Still, most canadians will never know the difference between Crper and Rogers, then they will complain….
