I contacted Roger on March 22, 2023 to inquire about Roger's roaming fee while I was on a cruise. The Roger representative recommended me the Roam Like Home plan for a flat rate of $15/day, which was the only information I obtained from Rogers at that time. Then the representative activated the Roam Like Home plan for me. Upon my return, I saw a total of $253 roaming bill from Rogers. I called Rogers again on Apr 9th and was informed that 1) $148 of the total fee is charged at $4/min when I was at sea and 2) the remaining $105 is charged at a flat rate of $15/day when I was on islands I was shocked since Rogers NEVER told me about the different roaming charges depending my location (at sea or on islands). * ******* **** ****** *** ****** ** ** providing incomplete and misleading information regarding their roaming charges. ** ** ******* ************* I'd like Roger to immediately return $148 charged at sea.

Account *********** primary **** ********
On March 14th, Rogers Communications Internet service stopped supporting 3rd-party Email applications. They blame it on Rogers' ***** email partner's software "bug" being unable to generate Application Passwords needed to "synch" with the 3rd-party software, and/or disconnecting service. They also blame *******. As a customer, I consider Rogers ultimately responsible as they chose ***** (and *******) as their partners. Affected software includes dominant office productivity software ********* *******, and software such as *******, ********, etc. Many businesses and personal accounts are severely affected. Rogers says "but you have Webmail" but that is irrelevant, let alone insufficient. Is Rogers driving us to *****? It's less than 1 year since last July's Rogers nationwide outage. I have called Rogers Internet Technical Support every 3 days or so since March 14 and reported the problem. As of today the representative said they are "still working on it" with no estimated repair time. They say customers will get an Email once the problem is resolved. Tech reps have confirmed that they are told every morning how to respond to complaints about this problem. Also, I have tried to set up a new Application Password in the Rogers Member Centre, per instructions from Rogers. Each time there is an error message. It's just broken. Rogers and ***** need to be pressured to fix the problem and ensure this never happens again. They should probably reimburse us some proportionate amount because us countless users have been unable to operate as we had been prior to this problem, while we continue to pay Rogers for full functional service. They need only to reinstate password synchronization with 3rd-party Email providers, a function that was worked out in the 1990s and should be fully operational in the 2020s. I just want to run my business using *******. It's been 5 weeks. Multiply my situation by many thousands of users and companies. Thank you.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: It is unacceptable. It provides no more information than I got from calling Tech Support in March 2023 and every other time after that. It is vague, unapologetic, does not say which unit in the company is working on the problem or when they hope to have it repaired. It's also poorly written. Also, my name is not "authorized user 1, ******." All in all, a ****** job of customer service. Surprised to find this was prepared by someone claiming to work in "The Office of the President."In addition, Rogers is a public company and the representative refused to give me the President's name, as if it is a secret or an unhappy customer is a threat. We have the Internet: **** *. is, after the internal Rogers' family power struggle was resolved, the company president. Why is this so hard?

Fido account ********** ** ****** *** ****** *** ****** *- Moved I had internet service with Fido at a temporary work ********t in ****** Ontario until May of 2022 at which time I had moved out and suspended my services (suspended means I would pay $5.00 per month to pay to for the rented modem).

I made it very clear to the tech on the phone that I had not yet secured an address and I would make it to a Fido store when I did. The tech informed me that I would have to take my service off suspension but never informed me that it would me reactivation of service and monthly charges). On January 10th 2023 I had noticed that my service was fully reactivated and I was going to be charged for a monthly package. I got onto their online chat with one of their representatives, I was told that they could pro-rate and bill me for 1/2 a month. **** *** ************* I did not request activation of my service.. ***** *** ************** ** **** *** **** **** *** * *** ****** I told them to close my account and discontinue anything to do with me and Fido which apparently did not occur.

Accnt *********
It all started when my phone and other devices were being constantly hacked, where I changed my phone number 3 times, complete factory reset my phone, to no avail. So, then I felt had no other option than to upgrade to a newer phone. Then I end up moving from Winnipeg to a small town where I begin having problems with my Fido cellular network. No reliable service, my network completely shutting off constantly, have to sit in a corner on phone calls to get even 1 or 2 bars, text messages not coming in or sending, calls dropping, etc. I contact Fido on numerous occasions for help with this issue. Finally, I speak to a fido technician that tells me, the nearest cell phone tower is 16 km away and that this area is a dead zone. He also tells me that if they could transfer me to another network that is reliable that after 1 month after not using the fido network, fido would in turn cancel my account and I would owe nothing for this phone. * **** *** **** * **** **** ** ****** ****** ***** ******** ** **** ******* *** *** **** ** ***** *** ****** ****** * ******* ******* ** ** ***** **** *** **** ** *** **** ***** ***** I had no choice but to cancel this account and then they send it over to ********* collections??? If they had provided me with an alternative network, I would still be actively paying my phone bill and have reliable service.

The account number for FIDO is ********* and the phone number associated with the account is **********
I signed up for a new service in store today (Whitby ON) and was offered $55 20 gb plan with $25 credits essentially making it $30 per month for 15 months along with 1000 free LD mins. We confirmed with the store agent (Joshua) multiple times before giving him a go ahead and even shows him a photo with all the plan details. I did not receive any email after the service was activated at the store and was told I should be all set. I came home and received an email which shows only $20 credit instead of $25. I called the store and spoke with Joshua about what we saw on our email. He then said only customer service can help me with the correct credit as he applied all credits from his side. I spoke with the customer service then and they said they cannot do anything as the plan is activated. They said, they can activate a new line with $25 credits per month but I would lose my existing number. On top of this I have not yet received referral credit email confirmation after submitting the information online using my referrers link. Overall this has been really disappointing and I would like someone to rectify the issue as early as possible.
