Kitchener, ON | [LTE] Don't pay for that LTE SIM card upgrade Just upgraded my phone to LTE and the store I went to wanted $10+tax to pay for the SIM card. It's very clear here
»www.connectedmagazine.ca/how-to/···hecklist
that it says clearly that they will "provide one free of charge".

kudos:1 | Rogers policy is to give out SIMs for free if they are activated on your account in store. If you choose to take the SIM and activate it at home, $10 charge applies. |

Rogers Plus or dealer? Dealers don't always follow Rogers' guidelines on what they are supposed to do. They're definitely supposed to supply you with a card when activating a phone to a plan. |

How is someone, by the way, going to know that the Rogers store they enter is not a Rogers store? I mean, I am talking about the average person. They do not know that you need a Rogers+ rather than a Rogers store.

They do not know that you need a Rogers+ rather than a Rogers store. True and they are supposed to work the same way (from the POV of the customer). But some dealers just don't always do things by the book. |

| Are LTE sims really different? I remember them saying you needed a 3G sim when the 3G service first came out... I continued to use my Sim card from 2001 with my iPhone 3G/3GS, and it would have probably still worked in the iPhone 4 if i had cut it down. |

kudos:1 | LTE Sims have a larger storage capacity compared to non LTE Sims. Im not sure how that enables faster speeds but I know the billing system will not auto provision an account for LTE access without an LTE sim. |

If it's not a Rogers store then they shouldn't be putting a big red Rogers sign in front. If you put a Rogers sign you're a Rogers store and have to accept what comes with it, if not put up your own third party sign or dealer sign.
Goto a Rogers store - not a Rogers store
Get a free sim card - it's $10
It's available in your area - It's not really available right now.
Leave it to Rogers. |
