Roaming and Travel plans:

When leaving Canada for a US holiday or an international destination, Area WIRELESS offers different plans depending on your needs:

    1. Roam Like HomeTM

      Roam Like Home lets you use the talk, text and data included in your monthly plan just like you would at home. This feature is automatically enabled on all subscriber lines. Simply turn on data roaming on your device. Once you arrive in your destination, you will receive a welcome notification confirming that Roam Like Home™ is active and ready to use. Once Roam Like Home™ has been activated, the duration will last for 24 hours; at which time, should you continue using Roam Like Home™, you will incur an additional charge applicable to the destination you are in. The charges are as follows:

$12/day for US Destinations*
$15/day for International Destinations*

*Rates are set by Rogers and are subject to change without notice.
*Maximum charge of 20 days per billing cycle.

    1. Flex Roaming

      Flex Roaming is a feature that is offered in countries where Roam Like Home™ is not available. Flex Roaming offers different Tiers based on your usage requirements for voice, data and text. For some countries the flex roaming is very expensive, caution and research on the rates where you are travelling should be undertaken before you go. You will only be charged for the service you use (e.g. if only data and text is used, only those 2 features will be billed). Flex Roaming will be automatically enabled in countries that do not have Roam Like Home™ coverage. For more details please see https://www.rogers.com/consumer/wireless/travel. (Please note, you can use your wireless device on many cruise ships, but Roam Like Home and Flex Roaming are not available on cruise ships. Your only Rogers roaming option is to be charged standard pay-per-use roaming rates).

For Users who do not wish to incur charges, all voice, text and/or data functions should be turned off, as applicable, for the duration of time spent in the international destination. It is important to keep in mind that Area WIRELESS and Rogers have no control over what third-party wireless services may charge in the country where roaming occurs.

Users are responsible for their device use while travelling and are responsible for all charges incurred. Neither Area WIRELESS or Rogers will offer credits on unexpected bills, as charges are reflective of the device’s use during that period.

    1. US Roaming Plans for Canadian Snowbirds – Add On

If you are a snowbird and travel to the US for longer periods of time, the Canada/US Roaming Add-on allows you to pay a flat monthly fee (in addition to your monthly data plan fee) to utilize your talk, text and data included in your Area WIRELESS plan while roaming in the US. Contact your Area WIRELESS Concierge for details and to have this feature added-on before you leave the country.

    1. International Long Distance Saver - Add On

$5.00/month per line (plus usage charges) for US and International preferred long distance rates for Area WIRELESS Subscribers.

Details on rates can be found here: Rogers US and International Preferred Rates

Data Only Add-on:

As an Area WIRELESS subscriber you have the option to add on a smart watch and/or tablet to your plan. This provides an additional 1GB of data to your plan at max speed.

$10/month - Smart watch add on
$15/month - Tablet/iPad add on

$0 Down New Device Financing Plan:

Stay connected with the latest smartphone devices for $0 down!

The New Device Financing Plan allows subscribers to upgrade their devices at any time with the latest smartphone offerings (subject to availability). Shop now: https://area.mywirelessconcierge.ca

You must be on the Area WIRELESS data plan in order to purchase a device with our program. No lump sum payout is required at end of the term - you own the device outright.

How it works: The fee to purchase a new device is 5.5% of the retail price of a new smartphone of your choice, and is financed over a 36 month term.

Example: Device price of $1000. $1000 x 5.5% AW program fee = $55.00. Total device cost is therefore $1055. Divide $1055 by 36 months = $29.30. So your monthly cost for a new device is $29.30 and will be paid in 36 equal monthly payments.. Taxes extra. Taxes are based on the full price of the device and financed over the term. Taxes on the financed device are payable with your monthly device payments. Device finance payments are in addition to monthly data plan charges.

If you wish to leave the Area WIRELESS data plan you must pay out the remaining device balance in full. Users are responsible for all costs associated with the purchase of a new device. See Terms of Service for complete plan details

Unused Device Trade-In Portal:

If you have old, damaged or unused devices around the house or office you can utilize our exclusive Device Trade In Program. Send your old devices in and receive cash in return. Visit the Trade In Portal here for more details.

Billing:

All users are billed on a monthly cycle and are responsible for all charges incurred. Area WIRELESS users are required to provide up-to-date, valid credit card information for billing purposes. The credit card on file will be charged.

You will receive an email notifying you when your bill is available for viewing online. At anytime if you wish to view your account you can visit your Area WIRELESS online portal at: https://area.mywirelessconcierge.ca/. Or contact the Area WIRELESS Concierge at 1-888-819-3612 with any questions about billing and/or charges incurred.

Area WIRELESS reserves the right to suspend or cancel user accounts without valid credit card information or cancel user accounts that do not pay their invoices. Charges for the Services on cancelled and/or suspended accounts will continue to be incurred and will be payable by the User.

Leaving Area WIRELESS:

Users may leave the Area WIRELESS plan at any time by notifying the Concierge at 1-888-819-3612 of their intention to cancel. Users are responsible to pay for the full month of service in which the cancellation occurred. Users are responsible for paying any outstanding costs, including plan charges and device balances, prior to leaving the plan.

Our membership work and live in Alberta, which we acknowledge as the traditional and ancestral lands of many peoples presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8 – namely the Blackfoot Confederacy (Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika), the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda and the Tsuu T’ina Nation, and the Métis People of Alberta. We recognize the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today, and those who have gone before. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those on whose territory we reside.
