Rogers “Hand-Me-Down” Program Discounts to Include Non-Rogers Devices

Rogers will soon offer discounts on monthly plans for customers that bring their own devices, according to MobileSyrup. The changes will come to the existing Rogers Hand-Me-Down program, an initiative announced by the company last September. Here is what the current program entails, as explained by Rogers last fall:

• If you’re a Rogers wireless customer you can hand down your previous generation Rogers wireless phone to a family or friend when you upgrade to a new one
• The recipient of that handed down device must be a new customer who activates with Rogers. They can activate on any month-to-month plan or add a line to an existing Family Plan
• When they activate their Hand-Me-Down device, we’ll waive the activation fee!
• $5/month off on talk/text plans; $10/month off on talk/text/internet plans

There are currently three month-to-month plans on the Rogers Hand-Me-Down page:

Individual Talk & Text – $35/month

• 200 daytime minutes
• 6PM evenings and weekends
• Unlimited SMS/MMS
• Unlimited Canada-wide talk and text via Rogers One Number
• Call display, mini voicemail

So essentially if you bring your own phone (any device from any network) Rogers will start providing credits on eligible month-to-month plans, similar to existing offers from TELUS and Bell. Let us know if this is something you are looking forward to.
