So before making a phone call check if you and the person you are calling to belongs in the same area so that you’ll not get charged for long distance call.

I think Roger’s is offering one of the best call forwarding feature among the competition.

No response from Rogers and the replacement map is now up at the same URL. The outgoing LCA is unchanged but the incoming LCA has been changed to exclude certain towns at the extremity of the LCA due north of Montreal. Not so big of a deal after all!

Okay, finally got around to downloading the replacement Montreal map and it's currently 404 – anyone else found the same? I've emailed Rogers for their explanation for the absence of the map.

[...] to roaming, the Big Three equivalent would be long distance, especially relevant since they have shrunk their local calling area (WIND’s local calling area is EVERYWHERE they have coverage!). [...]

The URL in the post above linking to detailed maps for Rogers is incomplete. It should be:

http://www.rogers.com/web/content/wireless-plan...

What I'm wondering is, are the maps currently available pre or post changes to the LCA size? I've downloaded the Montreal one now and I'll do so again after the 15th to check if it's changed.

Guess who runs the CRTC?

Former executives of Rogers, Bell, Telus.

So don't expect any changes for the better for the consumer.

We need a government that will shut down the CRTC. It's a waste of $ and completely unnecessary!

Seems like Robbers is accelerating their program to stick it to customers since Ted Rogers passed away…..

It's not going to end anytime soon folks. When will the madness end? Rogers Wireless is the WORST COMPANY EVER!

Read the fine print on their website. It's going to continue into 2010. Shrinking local calling areas charging fees for incoming texts. We are signing 3 yes 3 year contracts that mean nothing to Rogers. How can we be penalized or terminating a contract if Rogers keeps rasimg fees? Who's watching out for consumers? This needs to stop! It won't and the CRTC will crush ant real competition because the big 3 have them bought and paid for. Happy holidays everyone. This Rogers robbery will continue throught the years and years to come.
