Rogers Communications doesn't work

I was intrigues by all the commercials for the Rogers Wireless Internet Stick so I bought one. The ads all seem to be "plug and play" and the instructions indicated just that. My laptop is not brand new but is only two years old. I tried to make it work and could not. Took it back to the dealer and they tried and then called Rogers themselves only to be told that it works "with about half of the laptops they try it on". And that's laptops that are suppposedly compatible. It doesn't work on Mac's at all.
So, I returned it and thought that was the end of it. Apparently not. I continued to get billed for the "monthly service". I called to try to get that resolved only to be told that Rogers couldn't help me with that - I needed to go back to the store. So ... bottom line - very unhelpful people and a product that clearly does not work the way it is advertised.

A person phoned me on behalf of Rogers in January to offer me a promotional discount on my existing wireless internet subscription. She explained that is was a retention program, so as long as I did not cancel for a year, the discount would apply. I indicated that I was interested, but that I would be moving in with my boyfriend in August, and since he already has Rogers internet, I would have to cancel the service at that time. She said "As long as you are moving in with someone that is already a Rogers customer, you would not be penalized, so you are eligible for the discount". Having dealt with many painful Rogers service issues in the past, I asked again, and was reassured that I wouldn't be assessed a cancellation fee in August (you already know where this story is going, I'm sure). She then transferred me to someone else who she said would actually make the change to my account. So, I asked the second Rogers person the same thing, explaining the situation with the move, and she responded that it would be no problem, I would not have to pay a cancellation fee...Flash-forward to today, when I called to cancel my internet and was told that I would have to pay a cancellation fee, that there was no policy to waive the fee for someone moving into an already-Rogers subscribed home, and there was no notes attached to the January change in my file saying that they had told me that. So, I asked him to request the recording of the January phone call (yes, I've been through this all before with Rogers, sadly I know how this works), and he said he'd request it from his manager, but that it had been a third party doing the January promo calls, so they may not have access to the recording. So, now I am waiting for the manager to call me back, as the days until my move are going to tick down, and of course they require a ridiculous 30-day cancellation notice. I honestly sometimes wonder if this kind of stuff is a sanctioned business practice at Rogers to make more money- just wear down your customers with conflicting information and clueless customer service people until they give up and pay to make the frustration go away. I know that sounds crazy, but I can't believe that a company can be this predictably inept by accident.

i agree .they do not care.they will sign you up for all sorts of things, but it's very difficult to disconnect anything.they put you on hold then hang up.if asked what happened and why the services weren't disconnected they say the call was dropped.when asking for the name or reference # of the representative you are speaking with, they don't match.they get commission for any sale.i found out i got five features to my phone and i didnt want any.you need to confirm your order a minimum of 4 times.i don't know why it needs to be so frustrating.

Rogers Communications customer service inadquancy

Everytime I call Rogers to inquire about my account, there's some new information in there that I had nothing to do with. It seems there is lack of communication between the customer service reps. At one point I even talked to a "supervisor" informing her to listen to the apparently recorded conversation I had with a previous customer service rep to get the right info, as I was told one thing but my account said differently. How convenient that they can't access these recorded calls..."Oh it will take MONTHS". Thing is, I called Rogers EVERDAY for 2 weeks trying to get some sort of info from anyone with what was going and nothing. Their people don't care to finding out what the correct information is and there's nothing customers can do except feel helpless.

Rogers Communications service

On Fri. Nov 8/08, as the final month of our 3 year contract approached, my spouse contacted Rogers to renew our contract and to actually order two new cell phones. After being told we were considered excellant customers based on our three year history, the deal was made, and charges were calculated. No word from the rep regarding when the final payment for the new phones was due.
Today, Wed., Nov 12/08, after yesterday's day of morning, I attempted to use my cell phone. My call was directed to Rogers customer service, where I was informed that charges on my account were over the limit, and therefore, our service had been suspended.
After bouncing between billing and customer service for approx. 1 - 1 1/2 hours, we determined we were over our limit because of the new phones we had purchased, but not yet received. Furthermore, despite our history and the fact that we still had a month on our current contract, nothing could be done to reinstate service until payment had been received.
Know what they can do with their service? And, where else do I write.

I had a similar experience with the Rogers Wireless store in Kildonan Place mall. An employee there said I could upgrade my phone for $75.00 and my boyfriend could get a new phone for $250.00. We had no intention of spending $325.00 that day though, so we declined the offer.

Now here's where it gets interesting - the store manager then told us that he could arrange for us to get both phones that day without making an immediate payment. He assured us that the hardware costs of ~$325.00 would be set up on a separate "hardware upgrade plan", to be paid off over a six month period. He entered the information for the new hardware into their system and told us we would receive the payment plan information with our next monthly statement. We left the store as happy customers.

Next month when we received our statement we were enraged soon-to-be-former-customers...

The balance due showed our regular monthly fees, PLUS the $325.00 whole hardware cost, PLUS a "hardware upgrade" fee of $40.00! Our total bill for that month was over $600.00! When I spoke with a customer service rep, I was told that they had no such "hardware upgrade plan" and that we were obviously mistaken. Rather than believe that their store had intentionally mislead their customers or, in the very least, offer some kind of remedy to the problem, they simply demanded the full amount be paid by the next month. Failure to make the full payment would result in the suspension of our service.

We paid them their money and immediately cancelled our service with them. $400.00 early cancellation and all.

Horrible company.

Rogers Communications phone died before contract expired

I have a Blackberry wireless phone. I signed a three-year contract and purchased a warranty from the kiosk that was a Rogers dealer with the knowledge that if I didn't use the warranty I would get my money back.

I went to use the warranty when the screen on my phone cracked. Not covered. More over, the dealer went out of business and was replaced by another dealer - and the warranty - that company has gone bust too.

Ok, time to review my options.

1. Go to Telus
2. Purchase an iPhone
3. Purchase another Blackberry

As I was already a Rogers subscriber, in order for me to take advantage of all the offers on the table, I would have to pay a hefty upgrade fee - so I will waited.

I looked at iPhone but was not confident in the screen and the battery issue was a real turn off. Too bad as I was prepared to upgrade to the iPhone.

Over to the RIM's Blackberry Bold. Well, with a little bit of negotiation I managed to get a better upgrade price on the Bold and ordered one.

After a week I called Rogers and was told there was no stock.

A week later, I called again and was told that 1, 000 units came in, but I was not one of the recipients. Cancelled the order.

A day or two later, my existing Blackberry device stop working all together. Now I am on an emergency phone that I had in the dresser drawer. No data service, just the phone.

So, back to my first thought.

1. Go to Telus
2. Go to a Kiosk where service is so bad that the word customer should be imprinted on the forehead of every representative that works in these places.
3. Go back to Telus and wait for the Storm. But, the Storm doesn't have WiFi.

So Rogers - thanks for nothing.
Apple – Solve the battery issue
RIM – put WIFI in the Storm

That's bizarre... I bought a Curve from Rogers a year ago and a renewed contract. Within a month, I damaged the phone somehow and the USB port stopped working. I called Rogers, explained the phone was not working, they sent me a new phone 2 days later. Another 6 months later, I dropped the phone (for the hundredth time) and cracked the screen. I called them, they sent me a new phone 2 days later. I never paid any 'protection insurance', nor any warranty fees, nothing but the monthly phone+data plan. They just send me a new (refurbished) phone whenever I break mine, which has happened at least 4 times in the past few years.

My understanding is that as long as you have a Rogers contract, they will replace your phone (with a same-model refurb), all you pay is the shipping fee. That's been my experience!

Rogers Communications collections/credit

After 10 years with fido, a late payment resulted in
A freeze in service from fido.
This helped me to decide to quit using fido.
I was billed for the time period that my service was de activated and I refused to pay. I could not get them to understand that there was obviously no uasage during the de-activated period so why should I pay. "you didn't make us aware you you were cancelling".
Bs. My phone is dead. End of story. After repeated calls from nco collections they put a charge on my credit rating.
Thank you rogers for sticking it to me after 10 years of my loyalty!
Rogers, you suck big time! Bandits!

I totally agree with you. I was with Fido for 10 years and service was great up until they were bought by Rogers. It was all down hill then, soon my bills were incorrect monthly. Long story short, I cut them off and went to Koodo's which is technically owed by Telus. I paid my final bill with Fido and they still billed me for the next month. I didn't pay it and two years later is shows up on my credit. I now have to clear this up with them before it ruins my credit. Shame on them

As a matter of fact, I have already unlocked my Fido cellphones by myself (Yay!) and I shall do more. (Tip: Your Fido phones are, sadly locked can use with this or Rogers carrier only, I heard in AT&T from the States if you ask their customer support nicely by making some excuses like you are going on a trip to Europe...
they will give you the unlock code to the unlock your branded cellphone
so you can use it in any country. My next goal is flashing the original firmware (without Fido logo or its internet options on it of course)
This is already one form of protest.. I know that this is a breach of contract or illegal.. BUT I don't care about Fido anymore as they cheat for their pleasure, its their fault.
Why should I honour the contract when they failed to deliver what the customer wanted, and always
cheat, nickel and dime poor customers even in times of economic difficulty?
Why the Canadian government support the cruel behaviours of the monopoly companies like the Big three Rogers, Telus and Fido?
Also, I find it very interesting that only Canada and the UK sells locked phones only like the Blackberry instead of unlocked ones? is this kind of manipulation on the customer and insult on the customers intelligence?
Do you know in the Far East, you can buy the original unlocked cellphones like the Blackberry and Sony Ericssons for a relative cheaper price compare to the rip off deals by those 3 phone carriers in Canada. One day Fido shall learn its tough lessons of cheating poor customers and their loyalty. They shall be bankrupt
If you have a Fido/Rogers phone, you have two choices, either immediately cancel it, or unlock it.
Do NOT, I repeat do not ever do business with this unethical company..unless you wanted to get a high blood pressure. Canadians (expecially those who had been victims by Fido), We must speak up for the sake of a better tommorow for everybody.

So this is the letter I wrote to Fido, regarding my past service... long story short... (youll read more in the letter) after 1 year, i switched to rogers from fido (same company) cause i wanted a phone fido didn`t have, they informed me no ECF and i called htem several times to make sure there was none. SO... in the end, i get a collection call from NCO saying i owe fido 235$... READ ON)

-------------------------------

I am writing to file a HUGE complaint against YOUR company. I was a Fido Customer for about 4 years. I was interested in purchasing a Blackberry in November 2008, and realized that Fido does not carry them anymore. So I called a customer service Rep on the Fido number through my phone, and asked How much it would be to Cancel My Contract. I was told 200$, BUT if I switched over to Rogers after my 1 year mark with my new contract (which was November 29th 2008) It would be NO CHARGE to switch to Rogers because rogers owns Fido. I said great. I waited until November 29th 2008, went into a Rogers Dealer, and explained to her what I was doing. She was extatic and said it would be no problem. She was extremely helpful. I called fido to double check everything would go okay, they informed me yes, and No Cancellation fee of $200 was being charged to my account because I was switching to Rogers. We Activated my rogers phone, and before everything could be complete, the representative Had to phone Fido to switch over my phone number. While on the Phone... She was then informed that They could not cancel it until November 30th 2009, and was informed that was the date of my 1 year mark. The Rogers representative was extremely angry at the CSR through Fido and was arguing on the phone with him that November 29th 2008 WAS the 1 year mark, and his information is wrong... And told him that i WILL NOT be charged a CSF. She asked to speak to his supervisor, she was put on hold by the Fido CSR. 45 minutes later, the Fido CSR comes on the phone and informes the Rogers representative that his Supervisor is not Available. He says he will cancel the Fido Contract tomorrow, when the number is switched to Rogers, and I will not be charged a Cancelation fee. The rogers Representative makes sure he types in this whole conversation to my Customer File with FIDO and hangs up. We then proceed with my Rogers account, Pay, and off I go. The Next day on November 30th 2008, I go into a Fido Store in Langley, BC (not a booth, but a STORE) to double check my account has been cancelled with no charges. I was ensured by the CSR for fido IN PERSON, that my account is cancelled and all was ok.
YAY, SO... Next month in December... I get an e-mail from Fido (I did Email and online billing ONLY) saying my monthly invoice was available to see... confused... i call FIDO AGAIN, and ask why this has happened. I get informed that it must be a mistake, and it will not happen again, and that I do not owe them Anything. OK. Next month in January it happens again. AGAIN I PHONE FIDO, and say the exact same thing, and am told the exact same thing. I asked them why I even have a file with them anymore, seeing as Im with Rogers, Not Fido, but whatever.
NOW, ON MONDAY MARCH 2nd 2009, I GET A CALL FROM RCO COLLECTIONS SAYING I OWE $235 TO FIDO. I say... NO that is a complete mistake. The collections Lady, `JANET` informes me what i need to do is phone fido and see what happened. So then, I PHONE FIDO AGAIN and say why am I in collections... I havent had a phone with you SINCE november and it was canceled and switched for NO CHARGE to ROGERS. The lady named MARLYNE (who actually spoke ENGLISH FOR ONCE) said there was a cancellation charge for me canceling on november. I said no, that is a mistake... explained what I was told, and she said, ok, im going to put you on hold for a moment, and i said ok. At this point I am SO FRUSTERATED WITH MY PAST SERVICE I AM NEVER GOING TO REFER ANYBODY TO FIDO, AND AM TELLING THEM TO SIGN WITH TELUS OR BELL. Marlyne come back onto the phone, and says there has been an `ERROR` on my account. APPARENTLY i was supposed to call Fido, 30 days after I Cancelled my Contract to say I have Signed on with Rogers and NO charges should be made. Hmmm... I seem to recall calling fido to complain in DECEMBER AND JANUARY about receiving invoices and telling them I HAVE SIGNED ONTO ROGERS. Marlyne explained to me this was an error and that the collection is getting REVERSED, and to phone Fido back on Friday March 6th at the very latest to make sure everything was reversed. I was assured that there are going to be NO CHARGES and will probably recieve a rebate because I payed a LAST BILL i was not even supposed to pay, and NONE of this will affect my credit... Because it BETTER ###ING NOT! I said okay, and thanked Marlyne for her patience(and for once) the GOOD customer service. I then phone the RCO collection agency and informed them what was going on, and they said okay to phone them on friday and when Fido does the reversal everything will be okay.

So friday awaits, and everything SHOULD be running smoothly... If not... I AM GOING TO THE MEDIA WITH FIDO AND HOW CRAPPY THE COMPANY IS. IT IS A SCAM AND YOU DO NOT APPRECIATE YOUR CUSTOMERS OR THEIR SERVICE. I HAVE FANTASTIC CREDIT, AND HAVE WORKED HARD TO MAINTAIN IT THAT WAY, AND WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A HOME LATE THIS YEAR. THERE BETTER NOT BE AN AFFECT ON MY CREDIT BECCAUSE OF STUPID PEOPLE MAKING BIG MISTAKES AND ERRORS SO FIDO CAN SCAM PEOPLE OUT OF MONEY AND RUIN THEIR CREDIT. IT IS NOT MY FAULT YOU CANT PROPERLY TRAIN YOUR CSR`S, OR ONLY WANT TO PAY 2$ AN HOUR FOR PEOPLE IN 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES TO ANSWER CUSTOMERS SERVICE CALLS. IF THIS IS KEPT UP THE WAY FIDO IS BEING RUN, YOU WILL GO BANKRUPT

----------------------------------------

So lets hope this ### dones`t do ANYTHING to my credit, or I am storming in to their office and Vancouver, and giving ###! and not leaving... until everything is fixed... because we all know if can be done with the click of a mouse... too bad they have ### customer service reps working for them they dont know how to work a computer.

I give thumbs up for this article too. I also have been a victim of Rogers and Fido's dishonesty. They offer poor service, don't inform you of hiden fees and fail to inform on how much their new producta can cost you an arm and a leg.

I threw 400$ out of the window for a phone that I can no longer use. But I consider myself lucky because I know some people that had a thousand dollar debt with these crooks and had to go to court.

It is unfortunate that such a business like Rogers and Fido lack such business ethics and etiquette.

And I do agree they are obnoxious and rude.

I think it is time that people voice their complaints and let people know to do business. To my satisfaction, I have many friends that do business with other cell phone providers when I told them my unfortunate story with Fido and Rogers. And I hope I can inform as many people possible for the years to come not to do business with them.

(Correction, Sorry) I think Fido doesn't care about customers, just our money..so they can stay afloat.. I have been loyal customer to Fido for more than 2 years only to have them hit on my back with unfair and excessive fees, late account charges (as they either didn't send the invoice or send it late after the due date.. can you believe this?), ecf ($400 max for a phone that was scammed at $0) and etc...
Thats why we should complain to Fido and CRTC (for allowing these kinds of corporations like the Big 3 to exist) by speaking out about the poor and nasty treatment by them the more people speak out, the more disadvantageous the company will be..This way they will have to back down and listen and care about customers..

Rogers Communications customer service

If you have tried to call rogers customer service, you know where I'm going with this. EVERY time they are experiencing "high volumes" of calls showing their lack of capacity for the obviously high number of complaints. Ironic for a telephone service provider? The last time I called I was on hold in "priority" sequence for 20 minutes. When I eventually reached a real person I was told to call back in 2 hours because they had computer problems - another ironic issue considering they are an internet provider. Last year they cut my cable and left me with no phone for an hour. Apparently this was planned but told noone! This company is a monopoly and constantly cons people into accepting special deals only to find your monthly payment increases again and again.

Wow, you turn on your tv nowadays and it seems each channel has its own volume level. Seems the volume level really peaks when a Rogers commercial comes on (what a coincidence). Why do i need a Rogers commercial coming on telling me to get Rogers Cable or to get Rogers Internet services or Hoem Phone services. I think each customer should have commercials displayed based on the product they dont have. If i dont have internet, then sure show me Rogers internet commercials, but come on every 5th commercial seems to be for Rogers Cable advertising something i already have.

Also it would be nice to have a balance for volume where i can adjust the volume of all channels through the cable box menu so thatall channels have the exact same volume level. It is not fun turning the tv channel and waking up people

I just got off the phone a short while ago regarding an overbilling. Some $80 was attached to the bill as a "connection fee".. Imagine if I had direct payment set up through my bank account and didn't pay attention to my bill thinking it was static. Well Rogers would be taking money from me and its nothing short of a scam. If you don't notice or bother to call them up to find out what the extra billing is about then they just pocket the money. Its funny how grocery stores are forced to have checks in place for sale prices at the cash but none are watching to see how many millions a company like Rogers Cable is scamming out of peoples pockets.

A lot of people arn't aware of how shifty the Rogers bill can be. For instance in my case I have wireless, internet and cable all on one bill. My older cable provider (bought out by rogers) used to bill me for the service after I got it meaning I didn't get billed for a month till after that month was past. Rogers bills me BEFORE I get the service.. and not only that if the payment isn't right on time they tag on what they call a "service fee" of $25 ! .. So for example Im a little late on my payment they add another $25 onto my bill. Its not interest just a flat out late payment charge for services I've not even received. Further Im not sure how they do the wireless billing.. in advance no less because well my bill you would think was hinged on my long distance calls.. somehow its not. I can't tell how because their customer service reps are only more interested in threatening to have my service shut off. But the problem is that the scam is getting too big and its near out of my ability to afford.

Originally I was sold a wireless plan 2 phones for thirty dollars a month.. after I start getting my bills I see that its actually $60... Once rogers turned my phone service off just before Christmas demanding I pay some $200 to have it hooked up and to ensure the rest of my services were still in place as well. Basically they took presents out from under the tree.

I could go on and on.. but the point is who is watching to see how many millions of dollars rogers cable is pocketing ? How many people call rogers up regarding their bill and over charging? How can rogers legally charge a "service fee"/late fee on services not recieved? I've had my services cut back substantially because I can't afford the payments that are aggravated by their scams like "service fee"s (which isn't a service at all mind you) and still the bill is somehow much higher then it should be. I look through the jumbled mass of billing they send me and its just not clear whats going on. High speed internet $40 basic cable $35 (which includes a digital black box I no longer use or need so I tried to explain to them I don't want to be charged for but they insist I can't return it) and 2 wireless phones $60. $135 is what I should be paying but somehow they are billing me upwards of $185 and I can't clear it up. The problem with just dropping them is that I have a stupid wireless contract for 3 years and all the services are to be bundled.

When I call them to ask about payments I feel like Im talking to some kind of collections agency.. not a customer. If I ever get out of this plan I'll never go back with this company again.

Rogers is a fraudulent company. They trump bills in hopes you do not pay them so that it can be send to collections to collect an insurance pay out for money lost. The losers always end up as the insurance companies but they have no way to prove its fraud.

My gf reported her phone stolen and they said they would charge 7 dollars a month after that to keep the account active... I know it makes no sense at all. This was a complete fabrication on their part. They continued to charge full price and late fees and interest and to not send her a bill for 8 months! It obviously ended up in collections but collections wouldn't even deal with it because they know its a fraudulent bill so they want us to bully Rogers to drop it... yeah right... they were already paid for it.

I gave them a formal complain and wrote down all the numbers behind it. Requested a representitive from ehad office call me to confirm the bills and to discuss that matters at hand. They ignored me.

They are a fraudulent company plain and simple. If you don't need them, don't give them a cent!

I used to be with Sprint, till Rogers bought them out. The bills just went up & up. Later the added charges and asterisks started. All the while any regulatory body for this type of garbage stands idly by, as if they're on Roger's payroll. I dumped them, no more Rogers products.

I have Rogers cable, Internet, and wireless services and I have never been late on any of my payments. Thus, I have never seen a 'service charge.' I carefully mark my calendar each month, and I make sure that Rogers is paid well in advance of the due date. I also made sure that I could afford the services that I wanted to receive from Rogers before I signed up.

When I signed up for Rogers, I was made aware of all the costs associated with my account. Granted, it can be a little confusing at first. But isn't it the consumer's obligation to 'keep after them' until you are satisfied with the layout? After all, you alone are the 'guardian' of your money.

If you keep calling their customer service number and asking questions you will see that it is all logical and rarely do they make a mistake.

The bottom line: Responsible consumerism dictates that one be aware of ALL costs, billing realities, and due dates, as well as one's budget and willingness to part with said monies. If you only focus on the commercials,you will surely feel ripped off.

Real cost is for you to figure out.

Rogers Communications false advertising

That there is a flier i got yesterday but someone has scanned and uploaded from the markham area which i just saw now i have at home and called rogers because i need to upgrade my phone and and said them selfs they don't have the phone and they printed it and sent it out that it was suppose to be out now. So witch is considered false advertising.Me personally would really like rogers to pay for this mistake because of all the problems they give to us customers and i am a rogers customer. We pay the most for cell phones and services fees in the world. I'd really like some lawyer or someone to file a lawsuit or what ever can really be done am only 17 years of age but want them to pay up big for there mistake. If anyone can do anything or would like more info please just text me i got school so you know don't wanna get in trouble.

I have been trying to have my "FREE" listing with the WHITE PAGES as promised by Rogers since August 2008. As anyone who has ever had to call rogers knows, hours are spent being transferred. After thirty-five calls over an eight month period and being promised five times that this has been corrected, I find myself yet again on the phone on hold trying to have this corrected. This is my third call today and I have been on hold for two and a half hours and transferred a number of times. I had given up a couple of months ago because I couldn't handle the constant calling and getting nowhere.
When I think about the number of calls my business would have had if I was ever properly listed it makes me realize that this may be a major factor as to why my business is currently in trouble. I mean, if you cannot even find my in the directory.
This is the worst, most unprofessional experience I have ever had but trying to switch carriers would be a six hundred dollar installation charge which is not an option at this time.
All I need is for them to correct the listing...

Rogers Communications deceptive business practice

Rogers Wireless are once again pushing the limit on lawfull practices!

They offer a wireless add-on (called a wireless essential) which supposedly gives you unlimited on device browsing. But there is a whole bunch of fine print that I have yet to be able to find written on their site. CBC news states "Critics said the plans were Rogers' latest attempt to confuse customers, this time by misrepresenting the word "unlimited."

"What appears to be a good deal on the surface comes with some serious caveats, " wrote Marc Lostracco, assistant editor of the Torontoist website. "Customers need to remember that a company calling something 'unlimited' doesn't actually make it so."

Exactly. The only problem is now: I have a contract with this "unlimited" addon for three years (2011) or I can pay a $100 fee to remove it early. Not suprisingly I was NEVER told about a early termination fee when they offered it to me!

Rogers went ahead and extended my account for three years without my permission. At the end of my current contract which I paid for, for my son, I told him he had to move it to his name or I was cancelling it. He went to do so, and at that time they told him he would have to have my permission to discuss it only which of course I gave. They went ahead and renewed the account for three years and sent me the bill. So now I am stuck with a three hundred dollar bill to cancel it or pay for three years. I hate that company it is not the first time they have used these practices. I am done with them forever.

Rogers Communications wireless plan or phone upgrade

Mr. matthew ariker
Vice president, customer marketing
Rogers wireless
6315 cote de liesse st-laurent
Montreal, quebec, pq, h4t 1e5

Dear mr. matthew ariker,

I have been a faithful rogers wireless customer since 2002, even recommending the services
To other people that i come into contact with (we sell the bang & olufsen serene cell phone
Which works on the rogers network - as well as others). i am in sales and realize that when you
Have competition offering similar product you need to offer better service. this is why i am
Writing this letter – i feel insignificant to your organization in the way i have been treated
Recently. it started on wednesday, august 20th at about 12:00 pm. i called regarding the letter
That i had received from you. first, i was on hold for over half an hour. then, when a customer
Service representative became available he didn’t seem to know much about the letter that i
Had received – i have enclosed a copy of the letter for your reference. the only part of the letter
That interested my wife was the portion that said that we could “upgrade to a new phone” which
I was told that i didn’t qualify for when the csr did look up my account. to make matters
Worse, the csr, in his attempt to explain why i didn’t qualify, told me that i haven’t spent
Enough with rogers wireless as it is based off of points (in equation to dollars spent) system.
Then the final insult was applied when he said, “we have customers who spend in excess of
$200.00 a month” making me feel like my business is not worth saving. i did ask how much i
Would pay for a new phone and it was mentioned that the iphone would cost me approximately
$349.00 and even other phones would be “quite a bit of money”. when i mentioned that we
Could get a new phone for my wife by moving to a competing provider he agreed and left it at
That. at this point i was furious, but late for an appointment and could not spend any more time
With him.

My second call lasted over an hour (starting at 3:37 pm of the same day) with the csr unable
To provide a solution and could not transfer me to a supervisor in the few minutes that we spoke
(most of the one hour, two minutes and 45 seconds was spent on hold). i have been told that i
Should receive a call within 48 hours from a supervisor, but i am afraid it is too late to win me
Back.

My third attempt to talk to someone started at the local rogers store where i have done the
Bulk of my business (davie street near burrard). i was told that they could not do anything for
Me either and that i would have to wait in line for one of the sales associates in the store who
Would then put me in touch with a csr – which meant a potential half an hour to an hour of
Waiting just to be put on hold. this was my lunch break and i could not take that much time to
Deal with this issue. when i returned to my office i used the speaker phone and placed one
More call and reached ms. hazel louis after a relatively short time on hold - she wasn’t much
Help, but pleasant enough. she then transferred me to her manager sarah (no last name given)
Who listened to my complaint and offered to try to help, but continued to quote the same high
Prices for the iphone and an even higher price for the touch. she quoted an interaction number
Of [protected].

What i don’t understand is why i received this letter that would leave one to believe that there is
An offer to assist to upgrade when it is clear that you are not making such an offer available to
Me. my wife’s phone is under contract until december of 2008 and my phone
Come due in december of 2010. as my business is not appreciated or wanted,
I wish to end my contract with your organization and i do not expect there to be any penalties or
Cancellation fees as i feel i was told that my business is not worth keeping. i do plan to use the
Same number as most of my clients have this number. i am hoping that you will be honorable at
This last request. looking online i see that i am not alone in my anger and disappointment with
This organization. i will wait for your reply before i go ahead and activate a bell mobility account.

As a point of interest, here is the offer made by a sales associate at a bell mobility store:

300 minutes (daytime) / 6pm to 8am nights & weekends / caller id / voicemail / system
Access fee / 911 fee / $28.00 including taxes - plus a $25.00 superstore card

Regards,

Troy

Rogers Communications overbilling customers

I've been using Roger's wireless service for 10 years, with three wireless phone plans costing a total of $200/month.

Over the last few months, ROGERS consistently added $12 - $28 onto my bill claiming that they were international text messages.

I keep all text messages sent in a folder on my phone and after reviewing them (every time I receive my bill with the extra charges), there are no number in there in which the phone numbers were long distance. They charge me for 60 - 90 international text messages to the same number which is NOT even RECOGNIZABLE to myself or to their computer system according to one of their representatives. These 60 - 90 text messages is more than what I normally send on a regular basis.

The most recent customer service rep I spoke to refuse to listen to me and refuse to help. I have now gave my 30 days notice and cancelled the plan with them.

If it wasn't for the annual letters of appreciation I receive from the president for being a loyal customer, I would have changed phone providers years ago!

I don't mind paying for "good" service, but it makes me bitter when I am fraud into paying something I did not do!

One female customer service agent suggested to put a lock on the INTERNATIONAL text messages so I will not be billed anymore. I accepted the offer and then noticed she locked ALL MY TEXT MESSAGES and put a FREEZE on my account. They will not let me text anywhere now and is STILL GOING TO CHARGE ME FOR MY TEXT MESSAGING NEXT MONTH! This is rediculous!

I was a Rodgers account holder for ten years up to the other day, for the last seven months, since I upgraded my account with two smart phones my bills just kept growing and the worst part was I couldn’t even get into my account i.e. bills I thought I would switch to paperless billing to help save the planet well that was my first mistake, anyway I phoned on the 8th of august to complain about my bill I was told my plan was all wrong and they would help me out and adjust my plan to best fit my needs, well ten days later I find out my bill doubled now I owe over 500.00 for two months service when my contract was for 140 per month plus tax . Not once was my bill even close to that amount. I phoned at least five times to have my bills sent to me and never received them until today after I switched to Virgin mobile now I have no contract and was given 100 per phone for using there service. I was told by Rodgers I would be charged 500 per line and so I should be seeing a bill for about 1700.00 and I paid about 2000.00 for the last seven months so that works out to about 500. Per mo .I will do everything I can to stop people from using there phones renting movies or using any service they provide

We have a two cellphones from Rogers. I always call them before that please inform us if we are out of the credit limit but for how many times they just cut our line. we will not be able to know unless our friend or our employers call us that we cannot be reach . I call them last December telling them to cancell my subscription but they just ignore it, they keep on sending my monthly bill even I dont use my cellphone, its totally dead. I told them to charge me of the cancellation . Before we always pay our bill on time, we even pay as much as 400 a month.

Rogers Communications will not stop billing for closed account

We have recently found ourselves caring for a elderly parent who, due to illness, is dealing with dementia. She is now in a full time care home and we have had to close her home and store her belongings.

We have been able to close all accounts except for her Rogers account. We have requested the account to be closed on June 15, 2008, speaking to the service department several times and with grandma talking directly to a service representative. We have tried emailing and talking to a service manager (who took a month to get back to us)

To this date the account is still open even though the phone was disconneted June 15th, 2008.

I wonder if this is the way that Rogers made its billions?

I haven't been able to log on without difficulty since and when i called in, One of your technicians told me it was a problem on my end with my Ethernet card, this technician got my system up and running( he was very help full and extremely patient with me by the way, , kudos to him ) through the USB connection but I fear there has been damage to my computer is something that will cost me in the future . I have, today just switched over

When it comes to Rogers anything is possible, How about being billed and put into a collections company called Metro Financial Solutions after the account had been paid in full for a lengthy amount of time, "with receipts" that prooved payment was made in full, they still insisted I owe them money, I faxed the receipts and still Rogers argued the case. I spoke with several Rogers Agents and their Supervisors, who all agreed that something was definately really gone wrong, even the collections people said they had never seen anything this screwed up. I moved and had tried to cancel my services from as far back as March 09 I moved from London In May 09 to a small town that didn't even have Rogers Services, but before I moved I had a gut feeling and called Rogers on May 7th and was told I couldn't cancel for an additional 30 days, so my Conversation in March went on to deaf ears and to make matters worse I was billed past the 30 days in May 7th 09 conversation and again billed into Aug of 09, I called Rogers on Sept 27th and was told to pay 214.44 which I paid under duress on Oct 7th all was supposed to be settled from the Rogers Agent and his Supervisor on Sept 27th paid the amount of 214.44 on Oct 7th and thought "ok what a pain in the butt just to cancel Rogers service" I must mention that not once did Rogers try to reach me and they had the info needed to do so.Since that date, I've been told I owe over a thousand to 384.00 to 204.51 to 119.00 and back to 4?.00 account receivables sent my file to collections while I had in my hand receipts for over period of months stating my account was paid, I might add that I was never contacted once, that is until I was driving down the 401 on Friday 13th and got a call from Metro Financial Solutions and its been hell ever since I was told as of the end of November my good credit will be effected in a very negative way, because of Rogers mismanagement of my account, in a way that Rogers own Agents and their Supervisors agree they have never seen, , Rogers is very much like Hotel California, , "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave" I've spent a minimum of 16 hrs trying to get it through to them. I've even wrote the Office of the President and a lady called D'Arcy is now trying to battle my case with a Rogers Liason and my contact person at Metro Finicial Solutions, (Jason) has told me that this whole case is most bizzare case he has ever seen, as he has the faxes of receipts, but is at the mercy of what Rogers is claiming, any idea if I can sue Rogers for a Million Dollars? my Lawyer thinks a lawsuit would have a positive outcome, but all I want is to have this nightmare end and to warn others how bloody backwards Rogers are and how badly they can ruin your life over Kindergarden Educated Accounts Receivable and How little Rogers Agents and there Supervisors authority is continually overstepped by some idiot, with some twisted and vindictive agenda, that suffers from a Napolean Syndrome, beware Rogers has people with certain mental issues, , a serial malinger, who is at best an authority misfit, its to bad, , Rogers is no longer the most reliable provider, its people like this person that make Rogers less then it can be, , I would advise anyone who is closing their account with Rogers to have a Lawyer send them Notice 35 dollars, for a letter is a lot less, then I have had to pay and pay and pay and still no end in sight, , with Rogers and don't forget I still have the receipts that say paid and D'Arcy from the Presidents Office I do beleive is doing her best its a shame that every Rogers Rep and Supervisor have agreed with me and D'Arcy all have went to clear the account to zero only to be challanged by clearly some nut with, power by authority, , who is the only one right and all 10-14 people involved are wrong, someone needs to give this person who ever it may be a job in a retail store handing out late charges and restocking shelves, or send that person to a post in the Yukon, so they can mingle with the dogs and learn some morals, , Joseph Moses

Rogers Communications activated to the wrong account!

I called rogers to activate a pager I purchased - they activated it to the wrong person's account. So I get a call from a colleague indicating my pager is no longer in service. Called rogers and spent over an hour on the phone to find out that whomever had account to which my pager was activated called an reported the "fraud" so they deactivated the pager - with no notice to me. The was no reasonable explination for this happening. They can't reactivate the new pager and need to send me a new one that will take two days. What are they willing to do for me? give me one months free paging service - less than 10% of my regular bill!
THe customer service was terrible and the resolution was very amature.
What frustrates me most is how this happened in the first place.

Rogers Communications iphone birthday present

I had a rather disapointing experience at a local rogers store today, which has ultimately lead me to cancel my rogers service entirely.

My girlfriend was planning on buying me a 16 GB iphone as a birthday / new job present and had previously visited the same store we did today. She had given them my current number, they had reviewed my account, and came to the conclusion that she would purchase the phone for $299 on a three year contract.

Today, she took me to pick the phone up, and this is when the problems began. Apparently the price of the phone had jumped to $399, and this from the same sales women would have previoulsy quoted a price. Apparently my account had not generated sufficent revenue to be available for the $299 price, even though I have no commitments and am currently on a month to month plan which was created from a pay as you go phone. Disconcertingly customers who do not have a rogers account already, are eligible for the $299 price, which begs the question what sort of revenue have non-rogers customers generated?

We left, without the phone, and called customer service. A rather abscent and unconcerned individual confirmed what the store had told us. I stated I would like to cancel my account, where I was transfered to the account department, where a pre-recorded message told me they were closed and disconnected me.

It is a real shame Apple decided to go with Rogers. If only the CRTC would open the airwaves to some other providers with half decent service.

Meghan at Rogers talked me into transferring my Fido phone to Rogers. I said I would be charged a penalty. She said no, because Fido was part of Rogers. I WAS charged the penalty, by Fido. Fido call centre "supervisor" named Stella said they were not responsible.. I argued for one hour. Her vacuous response was to call Rogers. I called Rogers. Call centre lackey said it was Fido's responsibility and that she would transfer me to Fido. I screamed not to, that Stella at Fido told me to call Rogers... she said she would transfer me to Fido and did, even though I asked her not to. Then I was put on hold... waiting time over ten minutes and getting nowhere. I lost it at that point, sweating and crying with anguish. Bloody Rogers is soulless. They have no REAL person to talk to other than these low-paid call centre people. Why are we, the consumer, not being protected?

Rogers can't access your account without your name postal code and password if you have one. Otherwise anyone could go in anyone account and this would be a nightmare. They have to create a boundary.

They do have a complain departement, you have to call customer service, be nice and ask for customer retention. If you are nice with them, they will actually help you.

The best way to get things fix is to go visit the dealer that sold you the phone, they have rep to help them and they can get thing done faster by going to their dealer line.

Rogers Communications if you deal with a mobile phone operator in canada, you are going to get ripped off

Went to get a "pay as you go" phone from Rogers Wireless, since I had a gsm phone but only made 2 or 3 calls per month.

So I walk up to the counter, tell them what I wanted. They tell me it's going to be a $50 "activation fee". Well, it's pretty well known that the Canadian mobile phone providers are ripoff merchants, but I can take $50. I agree, they IMMEDIATELY take a sim card out of one of their boxes, without telling me anymore about the product.

I then start to think about what questions I SHOULD be asking. Like "what's the minimum amount for a pay as you go card". $10. "does it expire?". This is where it gets really confusing. The card apparently expired in 30 days. But once the card is put into the phone, I'm told the minutes purchased roll over into the following month.

Cool. I give them my details.

It then comes up in conversation that the minutes only roll over IF YOU KEEP PURCHASING THEIR CARDS. So if you don't purchase a card, goodbye to your money.

At this point I'm getting annoyed. Hidden costs popping out of the woodwork like termites. $50 activation, minimum $10 per month, and then the kicker, $0.40 per minute for any calls I make in the first place!

At this point I'm annoyed, so I tell them that no, I won't be doing pay as you go from Rogers. Not at $170 for the first year and $120 per year thereafter, whether I use the phone or not. That's NOT "pay as you go", that's "pay through the nose for not much".

The kicker was, they then made me pay $25 + tax for the sim card that they had immediately opened earlier, before disclosing anything.

So we have a complete lack of disclosure on their part that ends up costing me $28 just for having talked to them.

Unfortunately, that behavior is apparently not only legal in Canada, it's typical of all mobile phone operators.

Be warned. If you deal with a mobile phone operator in Canada, you ARE going to get ripped off.

Also Rogers and I have an angry past with one another. I've been a loyal customer for over 5 years, because I like their phones and I've had nothing but bad luck, bad service and horrible price plans.

I've never been more angry in my life, when seeing a Rogers Wireless cell phone shack in the mall.

I've had NOTHING but bad experieces for the past 5 years that I've been a Rogers customer. I can't say it any other way. DON'T GET THE iPHONE. They are only trying to lure you in. I would wait 6 months until Bell and Telus catch up and change their network paths to the same as GSM/Rogers so that they TOO can support the iPHONE. I'm sure BELL will come up with a way way way more attractive price plan.

So if you do want the phone...then wait. Rogers iphone is the worlds most expensive phone. If you don't believe me then look it up online.

Canadian customers are paying the highest price for their iphone out of anyone in the world. They do however have a smaller bill of $10.00 less that some other countries.

HOWEVER in the long run you are paying over $2, 000.00 for your iphone purchase throughout the 3 year contract. Making it the worlds most expensive phone.

I ordered the iphone on July 12th, the day after the iphone was released. I called and called to recieve information on tracking my package. I was then told that my order was denied because of flawed information in my billing address. (BOGUS)!

I then placed another order on the 17th when I found this news out. The order went through and I received a receipt stating that my package will be delivered within 7 days. It is now the 29th of July and I have NOT yet received my package.

I called in to speak to someone and they said that it could be a gliche and that my order probably didn't go through. I then told them that the $$ amount was taken off of my credit card so it has went through if the amount has been taken off of my credit card.

They are NOW telling me that my order for the 2nd time has NOT went through and that I need to make my purchase in person. They also stated that the amount will be transfered back to my account within one MONTH.

I think they are doing this because they don't want to let out too many iphones before AUGUST 1st because of the limited time offer price of $30.00 for a data package plan that is the equivilent to the $120.00 price plan.

I think they are trying to limited the amount of phones purchased and received during that time so that they don't lose any money.

THATS MY BEEF! Don't order the rogers iphone online. THEY are CROOKS! I've paid over $800.00 with my visa this month trying to purchase ONE phone. I wouldn't deal with the devil rogers ever ever again!

They are crooks, liars and manipulators. I've heard the worst ### in my life...from Rogers representatitves.
