Roaming, outside of FIDO's digital footprint was never offered to City Fido
subscribers. The "Country FIDO" plan, as some call it, did have access when
Rogers purchased Microcell, but the decision was soon taken to remove this
option (let's just say Rogers resellers (dealers) weren't that happy with
that plan..

Just call and complain. Call the customer retention. They are feeling the
heat. They may grandfather the customers who have access to the Rogers
roaming as of Nov 30.

Their web site clearly stated that CityFido would not have roaming onto Rogers.

Remember that free roaming on Rogers is just a free trail period. And the text
on the web site doesn't make it 100% clear that the $5.00 option that will
start when the free trial begins will allow you to use your plan minutes when
roaming on Rogers.

The free trial period included both free roaming, and use of plan minutes
while on Rogers. The text only spoke about roaming on Rogers for $5.00

So, my guess is that CityFido will be given right to roam on Rogers in
february for $5.00 extra, but every minute will be billed at 0.20 (as if you
were outside your city).

Which is just what it *doesn't* say. CityFido and prepaid will not
have access to Rogers network. That's what it says. If you want to
interpret it another way fine, but the web site says specifically that
CityFido as well as prepaid do not have benefit of the Rogers network.

The french version had the equivalent of a "YET" in that test, leaving the
door opened for it to happen in the future.

But my guess is that it will be a billable option.

I just got back from the Kisok, and they told me that they have had so much
of an oproar that all customers that signed up from Nov9 and 29 for the $70
month plan will have the roaming hooked back up on Monday or early next
week. Or you can call 611 to confirm that you will have it.
