TORONTO – Rogers Communications said Tuesday that it is extending its popular Roam Like Home wireless travel plan to over 40 countries in the Caribbean, Mexico and South and Central America.
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, and will only be charged for a maximum of 10 days on each monthly bill or a maximum of $100. 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.
Rogers recently extended the offer to over 35 countries in Europe. Travellers to the U.S. are charged $5 per day when roaming up to a maximum of $50 on each monthly bill.
"Our customers are really embracing Roam Like Home – it's one of the top reasons for choosing a Share Everything plan”, said Rogers’ EVP wireless services Raj Doshi, in the news release. “Almost two million customers are enrolled in less than a year and they're using more data when roaming than they did before."
Share Everything customers already enrolled in Roam Like Home may simply start using their devices while travelling to the Caribbean, Mexico and South and Central America. 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 75 eligible countries. New Share Everything customers will be automatically enrolled and can opt out at any time.
