Canada
cellular Providers
Whether
you are an existing Canada
cellular wireless user or looking for your first wireless wireless,
our goal in this website is to provide you with information about
the Canada cellular market.
Rogers has been an excellent cellular wireless provider in Calgary
for many years. Rogers has stood by their customers through the difficult
times and has improved with technology advances. Rogers customer service
continues to improve every year with additional staff being added.
Rogers has been an excellent supporter of Calgary events and very generous
within the local community. Calgary continues to grow in cellular
users per capita with Rogers as a supplier. If you decide to read no
further, you will not be disappointed with Rogers and their cellular
services.
Rogers
cellular Coverage
The
first question every cellular wireless user in Calgary needs to ask
is, “Where do I need my Rogers
cellular wireless to work?” Well the quick answer of course
is “Everywhere!” Looking at a Canada coverage map, most
of the cellular carriers are only providing cellular coverage in cities
and major highways. If you are planning a trip outside of Calgary
to somewhere way off the beaten path and plan to be in these areas
often, refer to the Rogers cellular coverage map on the Rogers website.
On your Internet search engine, type in Rogers coverage.
Rogers cellular Rate Plans
Rogers offers a wide variety of cellular rate plans in the Calgary
market. Once you are satisfied that Rogers can meet your cellular coverage
requirements, how much you are paying is the next order of business.
The Canada cellular providers typically break down their fees in the
following ways:
An
individual user will buy a bundle of minutes each month for a set
price and an overcharge for every additional minute. These plans will
run from the low hundreds of minutes per month to 3-5000 minutes.
Rogers
offers a wide variety of individual plans.
Family
plans are designed to pool a bundle of wirelesss together under one
invoice. The airtime minutes can be used by anyone in the family plan
group. The invoice is broken down to each wireless number so you can
track each wireless and user activity.
Business
cellular bundles, like the family plan, are designed to issue an invoice
to the business owner. The users get the benefit of more minutes in
the pool and if one person is using more time than another, the minutes
are not wasted. This is a good management tool for business. Once
again, the person paying the bill will get a breakdown of each user’s
minutes.
The
Rogers “Pay as you go” plans are designed, like the name,
to buy minutes as you use them. Rogers offers this great program for
a child, student or someone that does not use a cellular wireless
all the time. Pay as you go is also great for people with credit rating
issues. When shopping at Rogers for this program, watch for the expiry
date on your minutes. If you only use the wireless 10 minutes a month
and your pay as you go card expires every 30 days, you are wasting
your money.
There
is a cellular wireless plan to suit every individual. Additional minutes
are available through Rogers,
but are more expensive if they are not built into the cellular plan.
A regular cellular call is 3-5 minutes. If you make 5 calls a day
on average at 5 minutes each, you need 750 minutes. It does not take
long to run up 1,000 minutes a month if you want to chat with friends
and family. Keep this in mind when deciding on a plan that fits you.
Rogers offers free evenings and weekends in Calgary. To ensure that
you don’t worry about the cost of using your cellular wireless
on weekends, this is the plan for you. Free evening and weekends are
great within the family plan. Children are usually very busy with
activities, dealing with parties and their friends. Giving your wireless
to your child and not having to worry if they will run up your airtime
minutes is well worth having the weekend package. Free evenings and
weekends are a great perk for employees. When there are off for the
weekend, they have a free wireless. It is an inexpensive company benefit
for your staff.
The Rogers cellular wireless
Rogers
supplies Calgary a wide variety of cellular wireless models. Rogers
changes their cellular wirelesss often as new products come on the
market. The Nokia cellular wireless is the most common wireless that
we see in Calgary. Nokia has approximately 40% of the world cellular
market and the balance is made up by Motorola,
Sharp, Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, Siemens, LG, NEC, Sanyo and Audiovox
to name a few.
With all of the choices that Rogers can offer and the ever changing
technology in cellular products, here is a list to go through when
choosing a wireless in Calgary. All handheld wirelesss are governed
not to exceed .6 watts. Power output and battery life in digital wirelesss
are not comparable issues with a cellular wireless. All of the providers
listed above build excellent products. Listed below are features that
are not in all cellular wirelesss:
Voice
recognition (say the name of the person you are calling and the wireless
dials the number)
A
Video camera build into the wireless
A
digital camera built into the cellular wireless
Bluetooth
enabled (Bluetooth is a wireless connection to a headset or laptop)
Camera
wirelesss are quickly coming down in price with Rogers and are being
added to the “free wireless” grouping with a contract.
Video and Bluetooth technology are becoming more common with the newly
released Rogers wirelesss.
Rogers cellular Accessories
Rogers
offers all of the brand name cellular accessories in their Calgary
stores and on the Internet. While the brand name accessories usually
cost more, they also last longer. The Internet is full of cheap cellular
accessory suppliers. Most of these products are made in China and
are inexpensive for a good reason!
Rogers will provide you with a warranty period on your vehicle lighter
cable or Bluetooth headset and stock the after market products as
well. Headsets are becoming more popular every day. As more countries
talking about stopping the use of your cellular when driving, headsets
are a great alterative.
Bluetooth is an old technology that has finally got the recognition
it deserves. Bluetooth is like the remote control on your T.V. It
is sending a signal to something wirelessly. The most common uses
of Bluetooth are wireless headsets and laptops. Bluetooth works about
10 meters away from the cellular wireless. The wireless headsets are
great when driving or walking around. The old headsets had the wire
running from your earpiece or headset to the cellular. I’ve
banged the cable many times and ripped the earpiece out on my ear.
The worst time was walking out of a mall and having the cable hook
on the door handle. That one hurt. Most of the cellular wirelesss
are now coming out with Bluetooth. Even if you do not plan on using
this feature today, you may in the future.
A carry case for a cellular wireless is a must! The plastic screens
on cellular wirelesss do scratch very easily. I have gone without
a case on my wireless and within a year could hardly see the numbers
on the front. I did drop it a few times as well. That is also a common
problem. A carry case will keep the cellular wireless secured to your
hip or safe inside a purse.
There are lots of other fun accessories for your cellular wireless
that you can look at on the web or in your local Rogers store. The
items mentioned above are very practical and will extend the life
of your cellular and save you time and trouble using your wireless.
The
Rogers network
Rogers
continues to improve its network in the Calgary market. The speed
for email and the internet gadgets get better every year. Blackberry
or Palm devices are also instant when using email on the Rogers system.
We believe that Rogers will lead the market in Calgary for offering
the fastest cellular network available. Rogers can offer video now
over cellular and will someday takeover the cable and hardwire Internet
providers. (My opinion only)
Korea just announced a deal to provide television over cellular wirelesss.
It is already up and running in Korea. The Canada market will have
this service soon as well as real time video. What I mean by real
time video instead of regular video is while you are walking around
with your wireless; in this example let’s say a realtor is showing
a house to someone over the Internet thousands of kilometers away.
As the realtor walks around with the wireless on, video running, room
to room, the people are watching the presentation as it happens over
the Internet. This takes allot of cellular bandwidth to show the presentation
and have the picture moving so it is not jerky.
The wireless carriers are racing to provide the fastest network. Choosing
which product to go with is difficult. Rogers has the management team
and engineering skills to make the right choices for Calgary for today
and into the future.
Rogers Vehicle tracking
The
move is on by all cellular carriers to offer AVL (Automatic Vehicle
Location) to the Calgary market. Rogers can offer this service from
the handset to the tower, up to the GPS satellite in space and back
to the Internet map in seconds. The benefits to business, personal,
emergency services and rental car companies are endless and this is
just to name a few.
Business can find the closest employee to the next job. Couriers can
dispatch the closest driver, 911 services know where the call is coming
from when someone is in distress. Want to know where you’re
teenager is? This product can be used for the “Big Brother.”
In the future as more companies start using GPS, city buses and school
buses will all have AVL? Go on the internet and watch the bus on your
computer.
Rogers computer connections
Calgary
can now use a simple data cable or a Bluetooth device on a cellular
to laptop surf the web. Speeds are getting faster everyday using Rogers
for the data connection. If you have not tried it lately, you will
be pleasantly surprised. Rogers will help you when you are on the road
to send and receive your mail. Send file attachments, faxes, schedule
meetings, accessing your office computer network or just surfing the
web, traveling has never been so close to home.
