All of you who say your canceling Rogers and going to Fido are hysterical. Not only do you not understand business and the way it works you apparently dont understand Rogers owns Fido. Way to stick it to them by leaving and still paying them money monthly.

P. S. This means Homephone, Cable, Internet – 150 CAD turnover every month gone, fo a few measly messages ( I receive about two a month – so for the sake of 30 cents).

O. K. I signed a 36 month agreement with Rogers 20 months ago that said: No fees for incoming calls.

Rogers now says: By the way, we can change the terms and conditions but YOU are still locked in! Fair?

How about me saying: My phone in Europe had NO monthly charge, free incoming calls, free call display and I pay 9 Euro cent (15 canadian cent) for ANY call (even to Canada) – and this is what I will pay as of now! You think Rogers will go for that?

I have cancelled ALL my Rogers services – except wireless (locked in, eh?) – but I will as soon as the 36 months are over – Bye bye!

If you guys are just gonna complain about it,
get the package. Its not a huge deal $5.. really ?
Like come on, Rogers is the best phone company out there I think never had a problem with them. Do you think everything can be free, there are things that need to be paided for…

Totally for Rogers.

Have a pay-as-you-go. Called several times to block the incoming SMS. I don’t use text messaging. They blocked it. Still being charged for received SMS messages. People being ripped off by Rogers for some idiots sending SMS to every phone.

nice for the rogers secret police to be on here spouting their propaganda. what about all your premium sms revenue? how about letting people block those lame services that send them jokes or horoscopes and scam them out of money? oh, right, you won’t do that…. and, you say internet forum people don’t count – http://www.crtc.gc.ca/public/partvii/2009/8620/u11_200901951/1064663.pdf

I would pay for unlimited messaging if I didn’t have to pay $6.95 for a system access fee. I’m thinking of canceling Rogers and my 8900 and get a simple phone on Fido.

@ Paul,

Can you leave your contact information so we can run our opinions past you for validation?

Also, You’ll note that my comment was a round about comment on apathy. If people need it spelled out here it is:

VOTE, GET ACTIVE, MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD IN PLACES OTHER THAN COMMENT BOXES.

Easier to understand? Less subtle?

What a bunch of whiners!!
If you’re receiving text messages, it’s likely you’ve sending them as well. So, if you’re sending text messages in the first place, it’s obvious you would be on a text messaging plan. UNLESS, you’re a dimwit who enjoys paying for each text you send. SUCK it up people! Why don’t you all complain about something more worthwhile like the price of gas.
