Quick tips and ways to save on long distance and roaming

Long Distance and Roaming Explained

Here's some information about where and why long distance and roaming appear on your bill.

Long distance charges include:
  • Calls made to numbers outside your local calling area
  • Calls made or received while you're outside your local calling area
Roaming charges apply to:
  • Calls made outside Canada that are no longer in the Rogers network
  • Calling, text messaging, picture/video messaging and data usage (such as email, IM or mobile browsing) outside of Canada will result in roaming charges
Did you know?
  • Rogers helps you stay connected in more than 210 destinations around the world
  • Unlike long distance calling, there's no additional charge for using data outside your local calling area while in Canada
  • If you answer a call or pick up your voicemail while in another country, you will be charged roaming rates
  • You can save money while you're travelling by making sure Rogers has voice and/or data coverage in the country you're travelling to
  • Be prepared for your travels by checking rates in other countries
