Rogers Updates Cancellation Policy for Data-Only Accounts

It was a little quiet there for a while, but Rogers is BACK on the road to [insert word] their customers! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Effective October 5 2009, Rogers Wireless customers, both new and existing, that have Data-Only accounts will be subject to an ECF (Early Cancellation Fee) of $400 (maximum).

Data Early Cancellation Fee Policy Update

If a customer has Rogers Wireless service that is Data-Only, then that customer is subject to the new ECF change.

A Data-Only account means the customer does not have any Voice services attached to their phone number. In other words, this policy update applies to

  • Customers that have a Smartphone with no Voice Plan and only a Data Plan.
