Rogers Frequently Asked Questions

Save & Return Explanation

Save & Return is a program that allows you to pay less money on your device by the set Save & Return amount. At the end of your device financing, you can return your device in “good working condition” or keep your device and repay the total amount of the Save & Return discount that you received during the financing period. If the device is not in “good working condition”, you get to keep the device and repay the total amount of Save & Return discount that you received  

“Good working condition” means that the touchscreen must be functioning and cannot be broken or have cracked glass. The device must power up and all accounts and passwords removed.

Porting In Request

Your new device will be active with a temporary Rogers number, which is labeled on your sim card or your device and your service agreements. When you receive your new sim card or your new device and you are ready to complete your number port,  

Please call your Rogers customer service department to complete the port: 

Call: 1-844-776-4377 /OR/  1-866-656-8690 

For more details: Port Your Number to Rogers – Imagine Wireless 

They will need the temporary number, your porting number, and the account number of your previous carrier. Please complete this port as soon as possible, as your services with Rogers have already begun. Customers porting into Rogers will receive an SMS or Call from their existing carrier informing them of the port request. Customers must reply ‘YES’ to the SMS or agree to the porting request with their existing carrier before the porting will began. There should not be any further action required. 

The porting number must remain with active service (not canceled or suspended) to port. If the number is currently not active for any reason, you may need to call your previous carrier to reactivate it first.  It is required that any port protection be removed by your previous carrier before attempting a port out. Once the phone number port has been completed successfully to Rogers, your phone line will automatically be canceled with your previous service provider

Absolutely. When you place your order for new services, check off the box that indicates you are porting. We’ll send you more instructions when your order is done.

If you are bringing your number from another carrier, your new device or SIM card will be activated with a temporary Rogers number.

When you receive your package, you will then want to port your number right away. We will provide you with instructions to complete your number port.

If you are an existing wireless customer either out of contract, or on a term contract that is at least 181 days into your term, you will be charged a one-time enrollment fee of $50 to change to a discounted plan. This enrollment fee will apply for plan changes only, as well as for customers upgrading or changing a plan to add a new line.

If you are a wireless customer on a term contract and have been a customer for 180 days (6 months) or less, then you are not eligible to receive a Preferred Program corporate discount yet. Contact us again after 6 months has passed to apply your discount.

Return and Exchange Policy

If you have changed your mind or believe your new phone is defective, please contact us immediately at rpp@imaginewireless.net to discuss replacement or exchange.

A disclaimer must be accepted and reviewed before a waybill can be sent. 

*YOU MUST REPLY TO OUR DISCLAIMER THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND*

You will have 10 days from the date you placed your online order (or the start of your contract term, whichever is later) to return or exchange a device through us. If it is past this period, we can no longer exchange for a different device as per ROGERS contract terms. 

For defective replacements or repairs after the 10 days, please call Rogers Tech Support at 1-866-931-3282.

To return or exchange a device for any reason, it must be in like-new condition (no marks, breaks, cracks, scratches, etc.), be wiped of all personal information and accounts, and returned with the full box including accessories. If any accessories are opened a restocking fee may be applicable. 

Any exchanging device must be returned and received by us before we can ship you a new device.

If you still see an error message, please activate a new sim card. 

Rogers Auto Pay and MyRogers

After you order, you will receive an email from Rogers with instructions to set up your MyRogers account online (if you don’t already have one).

How to set up a MyRogers account ›

How to make a payment ›

A $5/month discount is included on eligible in-market Rogers Preferred Program Infinite plans to customers who set up Automatic Payments on their account (not retroactive).

You must keep Automatic Payments active with an eligible plan to maintain this discount. Discount will end if you move to an ineligible plan or cancel Automatic Payments.

First E-mail and First Bill Explanation

Following the creation of your account or the completion of a hardware upgrade, you will receive an email directly from Rogers. However, it is important to note that the information in this initial email is not entirely accurate, as it only displays the original price of the price plan (MSRP) and device without accounting for any discounts offered through the Rogers Preferred Program.

The preferred program status code and discounts apply to your price plan(s) and device(s) soon after the account activation or hardware upgrade. Once this has been completed, you will receive an email from us confirming the closure of your order. Alongside this email, you will find a contract that outlines the precise pricing, inclusive of the discounts. 

It is worth mentioning that the first bill estimate may include partial charges, covering the period between the start date of services (activation date) and the billing date. Additionally, you will observe a Set-Up Service Fee reflected on the first bill. Consequently, your initial bill may appear higher than your subsequent monthly bills, and any one-time credit will apply to the account within three billing cycles. 

Please note that until the commencement of the next billing cycle, both the My Rogers App and Rogers.com may not accurately display updated information with your plan information or description. The price plan showcased will reflect the MSRP price prior to any applied discount, as the discount is an additional feature applied atop the MSRP pricing for the plan, specifically intended for employees or members of your organization. 

When you receive your first Rogers bill and many emails about account changes, it can be a bit confusing. Don’t worry, we’re here for you!

You will see the regular plan prices on all your plan summaries and service agreements from Rogers. Discounts and promotions will reduce the cost of the regular plan price on your Rogers invoices, and are located under the Discounts/Promotions or Add-ons section on the account. All offers may not reflect on the service agreements.

Order Expectancy

We have distinct sub-departments within the Rogers Preferred Program dedicated to expediting your order and ensuring the swiftest delivery of your device to you. Normal order completion time would be 1 – 3 business days. You can anticipate receiving an email notification from the designated shipping carrier once your package is prepared for dispatch. 

During the Holidays we experience a higher volume of orders; therefore, order completion times will be extended, this is usually highlighted and in bold on the dedicated portal. 

Special Order or Backorder devices cannot be guaranteed on the order delivery time. 

Proof of employment is necessary to take advantage of the Rogers Preferred Program, and we may not always be able to use an email address. Providing an upload of an employee document will allow us to generate the necessary validation without having to contact you further or have you taken any other action. This can greatly speed up the process or enable the process if an employee’s email is unavailable.  

It is mandatory for all Rogers Preferred Program users to verify employment for any transactional type, regardless of previous transactions.

Please supply a clear and readable document that shows employment to the company you are receiving a discount through. Examples of proof of employment we can accept: 

  • Pay Stub Issued Within 30 Days 
  • Letter of Employment Issued Within 30 Days 
  • Picture of a Physical Business Card 
  • ID Badge or Photo ID (Clear picture of your portrait, name and the company logo) 
  • Membership or license document 
 

Redact any sensitive personal or payment information from the document if supplied. Your name must be legible*  

E-Sim Set Up

An eSIM is a digital SIM that lets you activate a celluar plan without having to use a physical SIM card. For devices that support Dual Sim, an eSIM is leveraged to allow two lines or more on one device.

When your order completes, you’ll get an email with an E-SIM attached in a PDF document. You will need to scan the QR code to set it up. You should also find any other instructions needed attached.

Please visit our SIM card set up page for full directions on E-SIM and SIM Card set up.

NRS and Special Orders FAQ

Our goal is to get your device to you as soon as possible but we cannot guarantee that you’ll receive your device right away. Normal special order process takes between 15 – 21 business days due to manufacturer chip shortage, the process sometimes could take longer than expected. You can always reach out to us at any time after the third week to ask for the device status. 

You can cancel the special order at any time, but the deposit is non-refundable. 

You will receive a full refund on the original method of payment as soon as we complete your order. 

Refunds can take 9 – 14 business days to complete. Generally, the customers who completed the initial payment with Visa or Mastercard will see a pending transaction for the refund on their bank account around 3– 5 business days after the refund has been initiated. Keep in mind that the time frame to post a pending refund is ultimately up to the card-issuing bank. 

We do not accept returns or exchanges for special order devices unless the item you purchased is still factory sealed with the original manufacturer’s packaging within 14 days from the initial order completion date. Please note that a 20% restocking fee of the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price will be charged for any opened product. All personal hands-free products are NON-refundable.
