Rogers intros new $25 Student Plan with Unlimited Texting

By on March 4, 2010 at 5:50pm in Asides, Mobile News, Rogers Wireless News, Various News

Rogers has released a new Student Plan that is “exclusively for High School or post-secondary school student” aptly called the “Student Plan With Unlimited Texting”. For $25 a month gets you:
- 50 Daytime Minutes (additional minutes: 35¢/minute)
- Unlimited evenings and weekends starting at 6pm
- Unlimited incoming and outgoing text messages
- Bonus Features at no extra charge: Call Waiting, Group Calling, Call Forwarding, WhoCalled & Call Manager

Of course before you sign up for any plan make sure you read the fine print. Above the $25 is the GRRF (Government Regulatory Recovery Fee) with can range from $2.46-$3.46 per month depending on what province you’re from. In addition, there will also be the usual $35 Activation Fee.

  1. None of the bonus feature is useful. What about voice mail and caller ID?

    Also the GRRF is still a proof that Rogers want to abuse their customers. When will they add the Income Tax Recovery Fee and the HST Recovery Fee?

    I just wish the Federal Government felt more compelled to protect consumer and order to drop all of these.

  2. I just want them to drop the stupid Activation fee. Why is anyone paying it? Is it a privilege to have shitty service?

  5. of course if you happen to wander over to Virgin you’ll see their 25$ plan (available to EVERYONE) offers double the daytime minutes, no GRRF, and still has that unlimited text goodness. Not to mention Virgin actually has decent customer support.

  7. Virgin is a much better company, as William said. While Rogers is still better than Bell, the Virgin plan wipes the floor with this and so does the Koodo one. Plus Virgin is a 2 year not a 3 year and they’re waiving activation fees.
