Rogers plans to introduce new monthly wireless plans tomorrow, according to this thread over at RedFlagDeals. The changes will see a $5/month increase to existing monthly plans, but the extra cost brings with it caller ID and voicemail to monthly packages.
Current plans on the Rogers website are priced at $45, $50, $65, $70 and $95 per month with a variety of voice and data options.
The new plans will be priced at $55, $70, $80 and $100, as seen below:
The value pack for the iPhone that includes caller ID, visual voicemail and 100 US and international texts is $12.79/month. So the $5 increase per month appears to undercut the value pack, but it’s now bundled into the monthly cost.
Earlier today, WIND Mobile launched new plans, with a $30/month plan offering unlimited talk, text and data.

‘Added value’ for customers!
Rogers: ” hey our customers aren’t really smart. Lets help them to spend their money!”
What about the ‘added value’? Free CID/VM! 😀
but its NOT FREE! this is like WestJet forcing you to purchase a meal you probably don’t like at 3pm on a domestic flight.
I forgot the /sarcasm tag 🙂
At least it’s built into the contract now. As with a value pack they’re constantly changing the price. Still pricey though.
From a caller ID and voicemail perspective, $5 is a ‘deal’. But still, for people who don’t want it, they are forced to get it no matter what.
I’m with wind mobile now. I was paying Rogers over $80 but now im only paying 29.99 and the service is great
Do you mean on new plans. Surely not on plans already contracted for 3 years?
Voice plans are protected by the contract … Extras (ie voice mail, caller id, text) can be increased as long as they give you thirty days notice.
Yes on new plans, which will be on the Rogers website.
hahaha Robbers is going to fail, they make Virgin mobile look promising with these ridiculous prices
Fail plans.
