Remember that contract-killing campaign WIND Mobile launched not too long ago called “Everybody Winds?” aimed at seducing disgruntled consumers nearing the end of their contracts with the big 3 to port over to WIND. The offer was simple: bring a bill from your respective carrier and receive a $150 bill credit (paid in installments over 6 [...]

When Rogers launched the iPhone 3G in July of 2008 their network must have been beaten to a pulp. They were the only network in Canada with iPhone for over a year, and until Bell and Telus launched their HSPA+ network in late 2009, Rogers seemed poised for a network over-extension. Recently Toronto saw Rogers’ [...]

Ok people, for this post I’d like some feedback. I just did a write up in regards to a rumor that Solo Mobile is being re-branded and appeal to the new landscape of “unlimited talk and text,” and it got me thinking, “What makes you choose who to sign with?” Each carrier brings its own [...]

Rogers is usually pretty competitively priced with their phones. They can have such large subsidies because in Canada, with three-year contracts, they are guaranteed a certain amount of revenue per customer. And Rogers’ monthly charges, especially for a smartphone, are not cheap. So a few handsets are coming down in price, and while none are [...]

For now you can file this as a rumour, but one of our solid sources has just tipped us off that Rogers is in the process of selling / has sold its Home Phone division to Primus. As with all rumors until this is officially announced by Rogers we can’t confirm nor deny its validity. [...]

Is it fair that Rogers, the established giant of mobile dominance in Canada, and especially in Toronto, is launching a discount brand, Chat-r, to compete directly with the two newly-launched, low-cost providers in WIND Mobile and Mobilicity? John Bitove, Chairman of Mobilicity, doesn’t seem to think so. After learning of Rogers’ intention to squarley aim [...]

Today, Rogers Wireless announced the immediate availability of the Samsung Wave, the cousin to the Galaxy S series running its own Bada operating system instead of Android. While not a lot of good things have been said about the Bada platform, especially when compared to the robust existing offerings from Apple, Google and RIM, its [...]

Today, Canucks Sports & Entertainment and Rogers Communications Inc announced a major, ten-year strategic alliance giving Rogers the Arena naming and telecommunications sponsorship rights. Beyond Rogers branding, the telecommunications sponsorship includes, in-game features, interactive hockey themed concourse displays, mobile applications and more. Here at Rogers, we’re passionate about sports – whether it’s tennis (Rogers Cup), [...]

Like thousands of others, I headed downtown yesterday, weathering the scorching heat, to support the annual Gay Pride Parade in Toronto. A good time was had by all and the support was clearly evident. What was also evident was Rogers’ lack of service availability in the downtown core throughout most of the afternoon. I’ll admit, [...]

For most Canadians, the hardest part of going anywhere (outside the country) is remaining in touch with friends/family. Roaming charges are often exorbitantly high, especially when if you decide not to purchase a package. Starting today through to October 31st, Rogers is lowering the US/Int’l text message packages from $12.50 to $5. So add the [...]
