Text Messaging

Text messaging, also called Short Messaging Service (SMS), is a wireless service available on digital mobile networks.

You can send text messages to another text messaging capable phone. You can also receive text messages from another text messaging-capable phone.

All wireless customers that have a compatible device can send and receive text messages. You don't need to subscribe to a text messaging plan to be able to send and receive text messages. Rogers wireless customers can receive text messages from other Rogers customers and customers of other wireless carriers (both within Canada and internationally).

Depending upon the text messaging plan you choose the cost for sending a text message may vary.

All Rogers Infinite_TM plans include unlimited text messaging sent from Canada to a Canadian wireless number. We also offer Rogers Infinite_TM plans that include unlimited U.S. text messaging (from Canada to a U.S. number).

• If you do not have text messaging included with your plan you are subject to pay-per-use rates of $0.25/message to send/receive a text messages from your wireless phone while in Canada to another Canadian number.
• Pay-per-use charges are generated in 160-character increments. For example, if a text you send exceeds 160 characters an additional pay-per-use charge will apply. And if a text you send exceeds 320 characters another pay-per-use charge will apply. And so on
• If you do not have unlimited text messaging, you can confirm the details for your current plan by signing into MyRogers.
• Sending text messages from Canada to a US or international wireless number is $0.45/message.
