Rogers cuts $35 activation fee when you “Add a Device” on data sharing (for a limited time)

By on April 21, 2011 at 2:46pm in Mobile News, Rogers Wireless News


Rogers has come out with another limited time promo. The offer starts today and goes until August 3rd and waives the $35 activation fee when you add another device for data sharing. Adding devices on the data sharing plan should be free to do but bottom line is the $35 is better in your pocket.

  1. On top of the $35, there’s tethering…

    Ah Rogers! Always taking tech tools to nickel&dime…

  2. No one should charge so-called “Activation fee” if someone wants to be your customer. Can customers charge the company “Welcome fee”? Just a thought….

  3. The link states that you still have to pay the 35 activation fee. You’re first bill receives a 35 buck credit.

    So really…. You’re still paying the fee, the promo sucks, and Rogers still is a horrible company.

  4. Why would I ever share data when I can tether for free? I can’t be losing that much speed when comparing the two, can I?

    Actually the activation fee is charged to your bill, and will be credited back on the same bill. So no, you don’t pay it.

  9. The big guys in Canada are always looking for ways to make more money, without giving more (data sharing plan, digital access fee, multiple receiver fee, roaming surcharge fee, Rogers wi-fi calling). Rogers seems to have quite a few tricks up its sleeve lately. Just tether (or VOIP over wi-fi) and be happy. With this “promotion”, they’re just trying to look good.

    Reminds me of an election campaign going on.

  10. There honestly shouldn’t have been a $35 activation fee for a $10/month or $15/month plan in the first place. That’s three months of service god sake.

  14. @george – Making money is fine, but there is no need at all for Rogers to charge as much as they do, except greed.
    For example, Rogers earned 4 billion in 2009. 4 BILLION!
    Give me a break. A fair profit is fine, but that’s ridiculous.

    • Don’t make mistake 4 Billion is the Revenue not the profit. the only type of company in Canada that can make billion(s) of dollards in Profits are the Bank.

  16. Of the big 3, Rogers is the one with the most to loose, with a greater share of the market (38% vs 29% and 29%), and an ARPU of $11 more than then other two ($53 vs $42). It doesn’t take much for those people to realize that they could be paying a fraction of their current bill.
