Rogers to raise prices on some wireless phone plans
Global News
Rogers Communications says it will be raising prices on some of its plans and bundles starting this month, with the increases applying to both Rogers and Fido customers.
Some Rogers mobile customers will be paying a little more for their wireless plans this year.
Rogers Communications told Global News on Wednesday that it will be raising prices on some of its plans and bundles starting this month, with the increases applying to both Rogers and Fido customers.
A spokesperson said the change will not apply to customers under contract. But other customers will see increases from under $7 to as high as $9 per month, depending on their plan or bundle.
Customers who have been notified of an increase will see the new price on their first bill after Jan. 17.
“We are committed to delivering mobile services with the highest standard of quality and reliability to bring our customers the best network experience,” the company said in a statement.
“This includes increased capacity to ensure reliable and consistent service for our customers, expanding into more communities from coast to coast, and making improvements to our customer service tools.”
Global News asked the other major wireless carriers — Bell, Telus and Freedom Mobile — if they were also raising prices this year, but did not immediately hear back.
The price increases for some Rogers wireless plans come less than a year after the telecommunications giant’s merger with Shaw Communications, valued at $26 billion, was formally approved.
