Rogers on Friday announced that it will soon launch a new roaming rate for customers travelling to the United States. The CA$7.99 pay-per-use plan will give customers 50MB of data in a 24 hour period while they are travelling in the U.S. Rogers estimates that this is nearly twice the average customer’s daily domestic usage and should be enough for about 50 maps, 200 web pages, 1,000 emails or over 5,000 tweets.
“Our customers have consistently told us they want certainty and peace of mind when using their wireless devices to access the Internet while travelling,” said Raj Doshi, Rogers Senior Vice President of Products. “Canadians’ connected habits are evolving, and our new roaming model is an important step in addressing the changing needs of our customers. With this simple and affordable roaming rate, customers will be able to use their devices while travelling just as they would at home.”
To help customers manage their roaming costs, alerts will be sent out before the 50MB threshold is reached.
The new Rogers U.S. data roaming plan will launch this spring.
