ROAMING
Another feature of the VOR 2.0 is that instead of the Daily Roaming Charge on ‘Roam Like Home’, there will be two more options; a Weekly Roaming Charge or a Monthly Roaming Charge.
For example the $12 roaming charge per day in the US will be $5 per day, $30 per week or $30 per month on the new VOR 2.0.
Smart Phone Discounts
With the changes to the monthly costs there will also be changes to the hardware discounts and contract terms.
When requesting hardware on contract, the discounts will be less than the current discounts. For example the 65% discount on Samsung devices will be 50% on the VOR 2.0 and for iPhones the current discount is 65% but on the VOR 2.0 the discount will be between 7% – 50% depending on the model.
As part of the launch of the VOR 2.0 we will also be launching other features that will provide other options to get discounted hardware, departments will be able to purchase refurbished devices and will also be able to trade in old devices to pay less for new/refurbished devices purchased.
DEVICE LIFE CYLCE MANAGEMENT – SUSTAINABILITY
TRADE-IN OLD DEVICES
There will be an option to return older devices to get a credit on the account. Returned devices go through a rigorous and certified cleaning process – devices are returned to a near-new condition and a certificate is issued. The “street” value of the returned device (less the administration fee to wipe the device) is applied as a credit to your account or in the form of a cheque.
CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED DEVICES
Certified Pre-Owned devices will be an alternative option to purchase devices from the Rogers portal.
Devices that have passed through the Device Life-Cycle Management (DLM) certified process will be returned into a pool of certified pre-owned devices. 50% off all available CPO devices.
There will also be an option to purchase these on finance. This would be provide an option to put a user on the month-to-month BYOD plan with a device where the cost of the device is added to the monthly invoice instead of the larger up-front charge on VOR 2.0
