Rogers Adjusts Plans for Canada/U.S. Roaming
Rogers recently updated its mobile plans, adding Canada/U.S. roaming features to some offers. This change comes about ten days after the company raised its plan prices.
New Features in the $75/175GB Plan
The $75 monthly plan now includes data, talk, and text for use in both Canada and the U.S. This means customers can use their phones just like they do at home when traveling south of the border. The same benefit applies to the $85 version of this plan, which is available for those who want to finance a device.
Details on Data Speeds and Other Benefits
Despite these updates, there are no changes to other aspects of the 175GB plan. Users can still enjoy data speeds up to 1Gbps. Once they reach their data limit, speeds will be throttled down to 512Kbps. Additionally, customers continue to have unlimited international texting from Canada and receive 1,000 minutes for international calls.
Comparing Plans: A Balanced Option
This adjustment positions Rogers' offering as a balanced choice between its lower-tier $65/100GB Canada-only plan and its higher-tier $95/250GB option that covers canada,U.S., and Mexico. It also brings Rogers closer in line with Telus’ similar $75 Canada/U.S. plan while still providing more data then Telus at this price point.
Exploring Alternatives
While these new features add value for some users, there may be better options available overall.For those who don’t require more than 100GB of data each month, Freedom Mobile and Public Mobile offer several plans priced at $55 or less that include roaming across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico along with access to 5G networks.
while Rogers has made strides by enhancing certain plans with added roaming benefits between Canada and the U.S., potential customers should consider all available options before making a decision on their mobile service provider.
