DALLAS – AT&T announced Monday it has enhanced its wireless priority service to operate when roaming in Canada within the Rogers Wireless coverage area in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
This enhancement is made possible by AT&T’s cross-border roaming relationship with Rogers Wireless.
The AT&T wireless priority service is an add-on feature subscribed on a per-month, per user basis for qualified United States government customers. AT&T plans to introduce new pricing for this service in February 2010, which will eliminate the activation fee and lower the monthly recurring charges. Other charges, taxes and fees, including roaming charges when using the feature in Canada, will apply.
"With an increasing number of national security and emergency preparedness personnel relying on cell phones, the AT&T wireless priority service can help them to respond quickly in an emergency by improving access to the wireless network," said Stacey Black, assistant vice president, mobility product management, AT&T Business Solutions. We’re pleased to provide the choice of expanded service to our government customers requiring cross-border wireless communications in Canada."
