Rogers has shared its plans for Shaw Mobile customers, offering them a transition to their wireless network. This was promised as part of the mega-deal that saw Rogers acquire Shaw, with Freedom Mobile sold to Quebecor to appease regulators.
Shaw Mobile customers can retain their existing mobile numbers and pricing under these new equivalency plans, which come with a 5-year price guarantee until April 3, 2028.
“To qualify for the same pricing, customers must maintain their current Shaw Internet subscription and enroll in automatic payments with Rogers, if applicable,” says the company’s fine print.
By referencing their existing Shaw Mobile plan, customers can identify their new Rogers Mobile plan, which includes equivalent features:
Shaw Basic 1GB / Shaw Equivalent Rogers Mobile Plan:
Shaw 6GB / Shaw Equivalent Rogers Mobile Plan:
Shaw 27GB / Shaw Equivalent Rogers Mobile Plan:
Shaw 27GB + Mexico / Shaw Equivalent Rogers Mobile Plan:
All plans continue to offer unlimited international messaging and features such as Call Display, Name Display, Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, Enhanced Voicemail, and Group Calling.
Rogers says the move ensures that Shaw Mobile customers transitioning to the Rogers network can enjoy enhanced services without losing any existing benefits. Sounds peachy.
Be warned though–this migration if you choose to accept will require a hard credit check by Rogers during this early voluntary migration period. You can migrate to one of these plans by calling Rogers customer service or using online chat.
Rogers says their systems have yet to integrate with Shaw yet so early problems can occur for early migrations (you’ve been warned).

If you’re a Shaw Mobile customer–did you switch over to any of these Rogers plans?

That chart isn’t accurate. When you move your Shaw Mobile US/Canada/Mexico plan to Rogers’ 27 GB US/Canada/Mexico plan, you don’t get 2 GB of included Mexico data any longer. You have to use Rogers’ Roam Like Home.
standardize canada+usa+mexico on all plans and visual voicemail. all plans $50/40gb and you will have all customers.
How is Rogers still allowed to do business in Canada after they broke the Canadian internet awhile back? This merger is a bad one and I’d switch to someone else, anyone other than Rogers. Telus, Bell and Rogers need to be broken up by law to bring real competition to the Canadian market.
They said they were sorry and it wouldn’t happen again.
Do they have a plan for the $0 customers?
Yeah that’s certainly my question too. I only have the 1.5 gig internet for three phones I have for free.
I also want to know this. I have shaw Internet and a $0 phone attached and I will instantly drop Rogers the moment they screw with it. I will also complain to the CRTC.
You mean CCTS. CRTC doesnt take complains.
Imma yell at everyone.
Check out my resonse to Jenn White. They won’tlet me post it again.
They won’t be matching my 10.00 phone
It’s pure you know what
My BYOP plan with Shaw was $10 a month unlimited t&t and I bought a GB of data every 3 months (I also have internet and cable with Shaw).
After some run around, Rogers came up with a similar plan of 1 Gb of data a month on the slowest speed. I didn’t really care as I don’t use much data. Rogers agreed to honor the same $10 a month fee as well.
My first bill shows up and it’s for $50 a month for same said plan and a $50 activation fee! Now they are dragging their feet correcting it. This change over for my cell plan has gone on for just shy of two months now and I’ve spent hours on hold and in chat sessions. Now it’s a case number with their client service dept and I’m just supposed to wait some more. I know others who are going through the same thing with Rogers trying to switch over from Shaw.
Rogers would prefer that customers like me to leave and are trying their hardest to get rid of us. They will lose me as a customer for internet and tv as well. Their internet speed is inconsistent and streaming tv often locks up and freezes.
I never had any problems for the year I had Shaw and was so disappointed when they sold out to Rogers.
Rogers was the absolute LAST choice when I researched who I wanted prior to signing on with Shaw. Their service and customer service is horrible.
So disappointed that Shaw was usurped by Rogers. The best got trampled by the worse. I’m sure Rogers will consistently ruin tv with freezing, voice and video mismatch as well as shutting off the sound. They should be fined for all these infractions that NEVER EVER OCCURRED WHILE SHAW WAS IN OPERATION. Rogers couldn’t stand the fact that Shaw offered free wifi cell phone plans and for sure are harassing customers that have them. Shaw logic, why double charge for wifi when the customer is already paying for it with their internet plan. I think not only Rogers but all the other telecomunication companies are wrongfully charging wifi customers double.
