– Unlimited weekends from Friday 6pm to Monday 7am
– Call Display & Voicemail

Similar plans are available from Telus and Bell, as seen below. Notice data overages start at $15/400MB from Telus and $15/300MB from Bell, whereas with Rogers it’s $15/1GB. Data charges are the new voice minute overages.
