"After receiving the iPad, MacKay was told by another caller that there had been a mistake and she would have to pay for a data plan, which upset her."
"MacKay realized she had not signed up for a cheaper phone plan, but for an actual iPad financing agreement and data plan with Rogers."
"Despite explaining her situation to Rogers and asking to cancel the plan, the company refused to assist her."
