TORONTO – Rogers Communications said Wednesday that it is extending its popular Roam Like Home wireless travel plan to Asia and Oceania, pushing its list of roaming destinations to more than 100 worldwide.
Starting immediately, Rogers customers can use the data and unlimited talk and text from their Share Everything plan for a flat fee of $10/day in locations including China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, India, Pakistan, Russia, Australia and New Zealand. Customers will only be charged for a maximum of 10 days on each monthly bill or a maximum of $100, and calls and texts to local numbers in the country they're visiting or back to Canada are included and no long distance charges will apply for those calls.
Existing Share Everything customers, including small businesses, can enroll by texting "travel" to 222 for free before they leave or once they've landed in one of over 100 eligible countries. New Share Everything customers will be automatically enrolled and can opt out at any time.
"We know our customers love the freedom of using their plan wherever they are, just like they do at home. We've heard them and we've invested in Roam Like Home to add more and more destinations to the plan," said Rogers’ EVP wireless services Raj Doshi, in the news release. "Now they won't have to think twice before posting a selfie from the Sydney Opera House or searching for a restaurant in Tokyo."
