I wonder if anyone is working on it for Rogers? Just an idea

Rogers pathetic chat rep conversation. I hope he gets reviewed on this...

11:06 AM David:
Hi, you’ve reached David, how may I help you?
11:07 AM PC:
Hello I was told by a Rogers rep to make a payment of $18.06 and I would receive a credit of $54.53 but it's still showing I owe that amount.
11:07 AM David:
Have you contacted and reported the payment?
11:08 AM PC:
No, he didn't tell me to do that.
11:08 AM David:
I will check. In order to access your account, I will require some information from you. Please click on the following secure link to enter your personal information. You will notice I requested a four digit PIN. This would be a four-digit pin that you had set up for account security. If you don't know your pin you likely do not have one. You can leave that field blank.
11:09 AM PC:
Link?

Are you joking? There is no link...
11:15 AM David:
I am sorry. I think you are having a Internet browser issue. Please try a different brwser.

Holy cow does this remote control IR app stink compared to the version on the HTC One. The channel guide only goes up to channel 96 on Rogers? All the channels I watch are on 500+!

What is the best way to make Telemarketers to go away?

I had them call me 3 days in a row.

You won a free trip !!!

First time I hung up
Second time I swore to the taped message and hung up
Third time it left me voice mail

I heard you never ask to be removed from a list, "Good number to SPAM"
Is there a Android App that works to block them?

I long press the number and select block the number but, every time they call me with a different number.

..... I hate these clowns.

For those people who have the Blackberry Q10 (or even the Blackberry Z10)...

When you go into Settings, SIM Card, and scroll all the way to the bottom, underneath the "Phone Network Lock", does it say "Network Subset Unlocked" & "Service Provider Unlocked"?

I'm wondering if the Q10 that I got from Rogers is unlocked or if I'm misreading this information.

Unfortunately, I don't have another carrier's SIM in microSIM size to test it (all my other active SIMs and/or non-active SIMs are in miniSIM size and I don't feel like cutting them).

Just in time for the long weekend Rogers just launched LTE Max in the Muskokas. They also launched in Sault Ste Marie ON, Brooks, Cochrane and Canmore, Atla, Syndey NS plus they're increasing their footprint in Moncton NB.

Got news of some rate changes to certain Rogers plans:

Good morning,

I left my house to go to the US from south of Winnipeg on Saturday May 11. The whole time driving down highway 75 to the border, my phone (BB9780) flipped between GPRS, GSM, and No Service the whole time. As soon as I crossed the US border, I had AT&T 3G, with no issues.

I live just south of Winnipeg, and have noticed a severe degradation in service, and an increase in dropped calls when near or outside of the Perimeter.

Anyone else seeing this? Everything was great right up until May 11. Its like someone flipped a switch or something...

t

I'm on a three year prison term with Rogers at $75/month under the old ECF terms - ends in October. I see Fido has an equivalent plan that's around $44/month total. Does Rogers still wave the ECF when you switch to Fido?

Quick question. I am with Telus and can get a very good corporate plan with Rogers. The only downside is that it comes with basic vm. I understand that you can only save 3 voicemails and when a new one comes in, the oldest gets deleted. Stupid but obvious why Rogers does it to get you to upgrade. I don't want to spend more on the plan so wondering:

1) What are the features of basic voicemail? (can't find it on Rogers.com)
2) Is there a way to record the voicemails I get either via an app or some other creative invention so that I don't have to worry about losing VM's?

I will likely get the Z10 if I make the switch as I can get a $300 bill credit. Phone is $99 on a 3 year. Thanks.

Bought a code from cellunlocker.net for my S4, doesn't work. No email replies either.

Anyone else tried ?

Need a nice budget phone to replace the HTC 8S I gave my mother on Sunday for mother's day that she already smashed. Repair guys are quoting her $200+ for a screen replacement which sounds far fetched but anyway...

So she loves the Lumia 520. She's on Wind and I know the 920 is pentaband since my g/f is using hers on Wind. Can anyone confirm the same for the 520? My mother is also on Wind.

ive just rwcwntly discovered that i dont get vm notifications on my rogers bb q 10?Anyone know when rogers will lainxh visual vm or introduce a patch to enable vm notifications!?

When it launched its Chatr discount cellphone service in 2010, Rogers Communications Inc. violated Canada’s false-advertising rules by pledging “fewer dropped calls” than its upstart wireless rivals, a lawyer for the federal Competition Bureau argued in a Toronto trial on Monday.

In his closing arguments, bureau lawyer Tom Curry described some of the ads, which depicted competitors’ customers frustrated as their conversations got cut off by their phones alongside images of happy Chatr customers continuing their calls. The ads suggested a “meaningful” difference in dropped calls, he said, that consumers would notice.

“None of that is actually true,” Mr. Curry said, arguing that even in places where data suggest Chatr did have fewer dropped calls, the difference is tiny – as little as one dropped call in 500 calls.

“The differences are not significant in many, or most cases,” he told court. “Those images are significant. They create a general impression of a strong and meaningful difference in the level of service.”

It’s a case that raises questions about aggressive advertising campaigns and sheds light on the battle that emerged between established cellphone companies and the new wireless carriers that entered the Canadian market after 2008.

The federal regulator charges that Rogers produced “false and misleading” ads, and failed to back up its claims about dropped calls with “adequate and proper tests.” The bureau is seeking a $10-million fine. The trial began last summer.

Rogers counters that the ads, which it withdrew when the Competition Bureau raised objections, are “unquestionably true and correct.” In addition to claiming that its established network is inherently more reliable, it conducted industry-standard “drive tests,” common in the United States and Europe, that involve making calls on competitors’ networks from specially equipped trucks.

The Competition Bureau disagrees with Rogers’s interpretation of those tests. And it has highlighted network data, gleaned from cellphone companies’ computers, which it claims is more accurate and contradicts Rogers’s conclusions. Rogers has argued that this data can’t be used for comparisons.

In written closing arguments submitted to the court by lawyers for Rogers, the company blames the Competition Bureau investigation on its smaller rivals, Mobilicity, Public Mobile and Wind Mobile, which were “determined to undermine Chatr” and made “multiple co-ordinated complaints to federal regulators within days or weeks of the launch of Chatr.”

Rogers – which points out that its rivals had faced “highly publicized” problems with their own networks – claims its competitors “seriously misled” the Competition Bureau about the use of network data and drive tests: “Rather than conduct a proper, thorough and balanced investigation, the Bureau engaged in a rush to judgment, and did so in a manner that can only be viewed as regrettable.”

The company says it was “blindsided” when then-commissioner of competition Melanie Aitken went public with the bureau’s false-advertising allegations in November, 2010. Rogers says it was labelled “a cheat” despite “co-operating fully” and pulling the ads when concerns were raised.

The allegations left it facing a “firestorm of criticism,” Rogers says, while its smaller cellphone rivals were “celebrating.” In what Rogers called a “media stunt,” Mobilicity sent a dance troupe to the company’s head office.

Rogers claims that the Competition Bureau is wrong to question the drive-test data and that the regulator has taken “a series of positions in this case that no regulator in the world has ever taken.”
