Rogers will charge 15 cents for incoming text messages

Rogers Wireless said this Tuesday that they will charge their customers 15 cents for each incoming text message. They only way to avoid those charges, is to buy Roger’s text messaging plan which can cost you from $7 to $20 additional dollars per month. Rogers didn’t justify why they are going to charge for incoming text messages, so in my opinion it is just another way to get more money from its customers who already pay $40-$80 dollars per month. In many countries it is illegal for companies to charge money for incoming calls and messages, but here in Canada we a getting robbed and nobody cares about it.

Canada is far behind many countries when we compare telecommunication; however we pay one of the highest bills in the world for our cell phones. For company it costs almost nothing when message is received or send, so there are no way those charges can be justified. Another funny thing Rogers Wireless said is that we are not going to be charged for spam messages. However you have to call them every time you receive the spam message. If you ever tried to contact Rogers via phone, than you know that it takes forever until you are connected to a live person. So in most cases you will be charged for spam messages too.

If you have any opinions about this Roger’s move please don’t hesitate to post your comments below. If we get enough comments than maybe we can send the link to this blog, to Rogers so that they can read what people think about them.
