The service is a flexible solution for customers, allowing them to keep their current phone number and effortlessly move the service to any residence or office where the national Rogers wireless network is available.

"This new service demonstrates how we continue to leverage investments made in our national wireless network to deliver innovative services that provide value to Canadians," said John Boynton, executive vice-president and chief marketing officer, Rogers Communications. "Our growing wireless base is always looking for what's next in mobile technology, and now customers outside of our home phone territory will be the first to access an affordable, wireless home phone service."  

The Wireless Home Phone device is available for a one-time fee of $29.99 at local Rogers retail locations in regions where Rogers landline services are not offered. Rogers Wireless Home Phone is available with no-term commitment, starting at the introductory price of $9.99 per month for Rogers wireless consumer and wireless small business customers, and $24.99 per month for non-Rogers wireless customers. The service includes unlimited Canada-wide calling, voicemail, and caller ID.
