TORONTO,
Nov. 14, 2013 /CNW/ - Rogers
Communications, Canada's leading diversified
communications and media company, today announced the launch of its
new U.S. Travel Packs that make roaming even easier and more
affordable for customers. These monthly packs offer more of what
customers want including double the data, additional minutes, and
unlimited texts at lower prices - just in time for the busy holiday
travel season.
Customers now have access to a variety of U.S. roaming offers,
including four new Travel Packs and the $7.99 per day U.S. roaming wireless data and
Internet rate. All offers deliver more value, as part of the
company's ongoing commitment to improve customers' roaming
experiences and offer better cost certainty.
"Our simplified Travel Pack line-up enables our customers to
roam with confidence and use their devices when they are south of
the border just as they would at home - without worrying about
paying more than expected," said Raj Doshi, senior vice president,
product, Rogers Communications. "We've reduced prices and delivered
more value in our U.S. Travel Packs to ensure customers continue to
stay connected with access to even more data, voice and text
services at an affordable rate."

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.
