Valid for up to one month, the new Travel Packs are recommended for
customers travelling to the U.S. for longer periods of time or who want
a combination of voice, text and data - all in one convenient package.
Launched this May, the $7.99 U.S. wireless data and Internet roaming
rate offers up to 50 MB of data per day and is ideal for consumers and
small business customers that are travelling for shorter periods of
time. Customers who elect not to purchase a U.S. Travel Pack will
automatically take advantage of the $7.99 per day wireless data and
Internet rate.
To keep customers connected at fast network speeds while travelling,
Rogers was the first Canadian carrier to offer LTE roaming in the U.S.,
as well as in Switzerland, France, Hong Kong and South Korea.
