Effective May 4, 2010, Rogers will be increasing the price of sent international text messages by $0.10, from $0.25 to $0.35 per sent international text message. The price change applies to both prepaid and postpaid customers:

• The pay-per-use rate for received international text messages will stay the same at $0.15 per received message.

• The pay-per-use rate for sent text messages to the USA will also remain the same at $0.25 per sent message and $0.15 per received message.

• If you currently subscribe to a text message/messaging package (such as a $4 international text message bundle), those customers are not affected by the international text message change listed above.
