In this document we have outlined some potential options for phone plans while studying in the United States. Some plans allow you to keep your current plan, while others will ask for some sort of upgrade.
Rogers: Canada+US Rogers Infinite Plan
- In order to get this Canada+US phone plan, you can sign up for a new Rogers Infinite plan or update your current plan in MyRogers.
- Canada+US Rogers InfiniteTM plans include unlimited calling, text, picture and video messaging to and from phone numbers in Canada and the US whether you are in either country. In addition, you will also be able to use your plan’s data just as you do at home whenever you are in the US without paying any roaming fees.
