Ever have a person who just wouldn’t leave you alone? Being nice didn’t work, blocking texts/calls was unavailable, so you were forced to enter witness protection and change your number? Then having to go through the ever-frustrating task of notifying everyone of the number change. Being a former Rogers retail/corporate representative, one of the most common questions I received daily was: “Can I block incoming calls/text messages?” And the answer (unless paying for a third party service) has always been, “no.”

Well, starting immiedietley Rogers is changing that, plus, adding a few additional features to take the way you text message to the next level.

Welcome the Extreme Text Messaging plan.

Extreme Text Messaging lets you block unwanted texts, set up an auto-reply message and easily send a text to a distribution list.

Best of all, Extreme Text Messaging is available at no additional cost for any Rogers postpaid or prepaid wireless customer — whether you are using text messaging on a pay-per-use basis, part of your plan or as an add-on.

Features and benefits:

  • Text Blocker: Have an ex you’d rather not hear from? Getting spam messages? You can now add any phone number to a blocker list and stop receiving messages from that number. The owner of the number won’t even know they’ve been blocked
  • Text Auto Reply: If you’re away on vacation or not checking messages, you can set up this feature to send an auto-reply message to anyone who sends you a text
  • Distribution lists: Quickly message your family or a group of friends all at once without having to add each recipient to the message one by one.
  • Text Copy: Want to send a copy of any text message you receive to your computer so you can see your text messages while you email? Need a written backup of your text messages? Have a copy of your text messages automatically sent to an email address or another wireless phone number.
  • Text Forward: No more carrying around a personal and work phone on the weekend. Have all your text messages automatically forwarded to another phone number, just like call forwarding.
  • Personal Signature: Add some fun to your text messages by creating a personal signature or message that will automatically be included at the end of any text you send.
