Rogers Wireless Plans for HTC Android Devices
With the release of the HTC Dream, sporting Google’s Android operating system from Rogers Wireless in only 3 days, there are a few changes with the Rogers voice and data plan offerings.
Below you find the latest Rogers Wireless plans for HTC devices for June 2024.
Please note that these plans will be reflective of Rogers Wireless and there are five sections below detailing individual regions (prices vary between regions):
1.) BC/ALBERTA REGION
2.) MIDWEST REGION
3.) ONTARIO REGION
4.) QUEBEC REGION
5.) ATLANTIC REGION
Remember, as of April 7, 2024, all new acquisitions on a 3 year contract will only receive one (1) month of unlimited local minutes (“Freedom of Speech”) as opposed to 3 months, as it was in the past. If you are getting a separate data plan or a data plan combo plan (No term or 1/2/3 year term), as of June 2, 2024 you will receive two (2) months unlimited data usage (“Data Usage Bonus”), as opposed to 3 months as it was in the past.
Also note, as of April 16, 2024, the $17.50 EPP Plan was increased in price to $20.00. All of the other advertised features within this plan are the same.
Summary of changes at June 2, 2024 (affects all devices and regions)
I will post a summary of changes here for June 2, 2024 but I have also included the relevant changes in the plans below. Also note, these changes will be similar with Telus and Bell as the “Big 3″ wait for the new wireless carrier arrivals.
1.) The My5 option will no longer be available across all Family Plans (All regions).
2.) Price increase in the Data Family Plan to $90 from $80 (All regions).
3.) All student plans ($25 and $45 options) and all student discounts (Free 6PM evenings) expired. Returning in August/September time frame (All regions).
4.) Unlimited Network Calling (free calling to/from all Rogers, Fido, and Rogers Home Phone) expired across all plans (All regions).
5.) Unlimited Network Calling feature replaced with “Double your Daytime minutes” promotion (All regions).
6.) Decrease in minutes in the $45 Mega Value Combo plan to 100 minutes + 50 bonus minutes from 200 minutes total (Regions 1, 3, 4). Decrease in minutes in the $45 Mega Value Combo plan to 150 minutes + 150 bonus minutes from 350 minutes total (Regions 2, 5).
7.) Under the Mega Value Combo plans, Canada-wide My5 is now Local My5 (Regions 1, 3, 4).
8.) Under the Mega Value plans, the $35 plan includes Local My5 instead of Nation-Wide My5. The $40 Mega Time plan still includes Nation-Wide My5 (the only Mega Time plan to include My5 now (Regions 1, 3, 4).
9.) Under the Mega Value Combo plans, Unlimited Messaging is now 1000 Messages (Text, Picture, Video) (Regions 1, 3, 4.)
10.) New $75 Smartphone & Rocket Mobile Internet Stick Plan, which is buy a smartphone on a 3 year contract and get the Rocket Stick for free. They share the data and it is all under one 3 year contract (listed below) (All Regions).
11.) $15 Smartphone Value Pack is now $20 and includes sent/received unlimited text messages and unlimited sent/received picture and video messages. Before it was 2500 and 1000 messages respectively (All Regions).

BRITISH COLUMBIA/ALBERTA REGION OFFERS

HTC device with EPP Plan (3 year contract)
You will want a plan that will give you enough minutes so you do not end up paying overage fees. Currently there is a very good plan called the “Employee Purchase Plan”. The plan is $20.00 per month and includes the following:
- 200 Daytime Minutes
- Unlimited Evenings & Weekends at 6PM
In terms of minutes and value, this is the best plan, however if you need more minutes, then obviously you should choose a higher voice plan.
In any case, with an attached data plan, the HTC devices from Rogers will run you $149 (Dream) and $149 (Magic) under this plan.
HTC device with add-on data (3 year contract)
What it comes down to is you may choose a Voice and Data plan combo (where they come together) or separate the two and choose a Voice plan and add a Data plan option.
As mentioned previously, you can still pick up the $20.00 EPP Plan and then for a data option, the best value is the Smartphone Data Value Pack. This pack is $35 and gives you:
$35 Smartphone Data Value Pack
- 500MB of Data
- Caller Display with Name Display
- Enhanced Voicemail
- Unlimited Sent/Received Text Messages
- Unlimited Sent/Received Picture/Video Messges
- WhoCalled service
So together with the EPP voice plan, your monthly total will run: $69.94 (in BC) ($65.57 in AB). And of course, if you need more minutes or more data, you simply increase your plan, but that does mean increasing the amount you pay. (In other words, you do not have to choose what I just recommended. There are many VOICE plans to choose from but only ONE $35 Smartphone Value Pack)

$20 Smartphone Value Pack
