Rogers duplicitous customer service

Complaint

About three months ago, I called Rogers customer service to cancel my cellular services. I was transfered to the customer relations department where I was offered as incentive to stay with Rogers three months unlimited calling. They didn't mention anything else besides that. Sounded good so I went for it. Little did I know that Rogers had cunningly signed me up on a three year contract!!!!!

You can't imagine how enraged I was when I found out. The conniving, scheming and duplicitousness of it all just convinced me I had to get out....I was done with Rogers and no amount of incentives was going to change my mind. I was in for a mega-ton shock when I called to cancel my services. Apparently I would have to pay 400 dollars to cancel...and you know why....because I was on that three year contract.

Let me clarify a few things. About a year and a half ago, I bought my nokia 6682 smartphone full price on no contract. I payed my bills faithfully every single month. I was a free woman, with no contracts. So why in the world would I want to shackle myself to Rogers on a three year contract!!!! Why didn't customer relations mention that the three months unlimited calling entailled a three year contract? Do you see the utter deceptiveness of this all?

About three days ago I called Rogers to sort this all out and thankfully my calling plan was reverted back to what it used to be. But to be honest with you, I'm so angry and tired, that as soon as my account is officially back to a month to month plan, I'm going to get the hell out of Rogers.

Rogers needs to change their policies. Become transparent will all their customers.

    Hey I read your complaint about rogers, I'm in the same boat kind of. I just recently turned 19 in april and when I wanted a phone I only wanted to go month to month but some how the agent i dealt with put me into a 3 year contract I've been trying to find out how to get out without paying a huge fee and i dont want to keep rogers for 2 years and 5 months i hate rogers im finding fees are getting put onto my account that cannot be accounted for since i do not use my phone during the day. I hate rogers with a passion but it seems the only ways to get out of rogers will be to either wait out the contract or to pay the fee.

      ROGERS CHANGED MY CONTRACT FROM A STUDENT PHONE TO A FAMILY.  WHEN I REFUSED TO PAY STATING THEY BROKE THEIR OWN CONTRACT; ROGERS SENT THE FRAUDULENT ACCOUNT TO COLLECTIONS

    I HATE ROGERS!!!!!!
    After waiting out the end of my stupid contract, which screwed me again and again with substandard service, and insane fees, they tacked on a fee for cancelling my wireless account even though my contract was finished.  Then, when I tried to deal with it online, of couse, no information on my account is available - for 4 months!!!  I HATE ROGERS!  Now, $350 in inexplicable bills later, I want to burn their effing corporation down.  Who's with me?!

    I HATE ROGERS!!!
    Every time I negotiate a deal with Rogers, they say they will give it too me and then don't.  ALLWAYS get the name and employee number of the people you speak to.   For example I was offered more minutes on my phone for a 10$ price and then 2 months later my bill shows I didn't get it and the [***] on the phone says that oops they can't do that.  

    I HATE ROGERS

      For some reason when i pay my bill the amount due changes every time
      70$ now its 85$/month  and it says on the title 70$/month plan

      I've also had the same problems u had.. On my "My10" plan i called someone on the list for over 300mins and they billed me like 10$ extra for it!

      They're snakes watch out!

        I was a long time Rogers wireless customer as well as a cable TV and internet customer. My last bill was for $576.00 and I decided to look for another wireless carrier. May/2013 I went to another wireless company. The transfer was smooth. My Rogers bill had a zero balance. I was not under a 3 year contract, (I assumed) but a monthly contract and had been for years. My phone way paid for years ago. In June/2013 I received my Rogers bill. $113.00 for cable internet, which i had expected but Rogers added $300.00 because I had the MY5/MY10 plan on my cellphone. It was a plan promoted to save on long distance charges to family and friends. It never occurred to me that it was actually a underhanded way for Rogers to commit me to a "long-term contract".
        I will not pay the $300.00 and I would advise any Rogers customer who has the MY5/MY10 to seriously consider the ramifications of such plan.
        Thanks for the venting.. Daryl Keating.
