Pros and cons
Pros
- A network sells the plan directly, so there is no reseller layer between you and the network.
- Sim only deals sit alongside 5G service, and a multi line discount applies to extra lines on the same account.
- Unlimited data starts at CAD 70 on the 5G+ Popular plan.
- Roaming reaches 180 countries, and the terms are paid roaming rather than a bundled allowance.
- Billing is on contract terms, so a fixed monthly commitment applies.
Cons
- Billing runs on contract terms only, which is narrower than the prepaid and contract choice at getesa.
- Roaming in the EU is paid, so trips to Europe add charges on top of the monthly plan.
- Support runs on chat only, so there is no phone line listed alongside live chat.
- The entry price of CAD 50 sits low in the field, but the price guarantee applies to the Ultimate plan, as stated by 5-Year Price Guarantee on Ultimate plan.
Who it suits
- Canadian households wanting one bill for several lines, since a multi line discount applies.
- People who want a network's own sim only deal rather than a resale or virtual network offer.
- Travellers who will pay for roaming as needed, given 180 countries covered countries.
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers heading to Europe who want roaming included, since EU roaming is paid.
- Anyone who needs a choice of billing styles, because Rogers lists contract only while getesa lists prepaid and contract.
- People who want support by phone, since support runs on chat only.
Pricing
Rogers is a network selling its own sim only deals, and the entry point is CAD 50 a month. That is the opening price on the sim only line, with the 5G+ Lite plan as the reference plan at the same level of spend. Higher up the range sit the 5G+ Essentials plan and the 5G+ Popular plan, which carries unlimited data. The unlimited option is priced at CAD 70, so the step from a capped data plan to unlimited is a visible jump rather than a rounding error. All of these sit on contract terms, which is the only billing style listed for Rogers. That single structure is the first thing to check, because a plan that runs on a contract cannot be paused and resumed the way a prepaid or rolling option can. For readers who want a comparison, getesa lists prepaid and contract and yesss! lists contract, rolling and prepaid, so both offer wider billing choice than Rogers does. On renewal, the picture depends on which plan you hold. The 5-Year Price Guarantee on Ultimate plan is the only published protection listed, and it applies to the Ultimate plan rather than to every plan on the range. Anyone on 5G+ Lite or 5G+ Essentials should treat the monthly figure as the number to recheck at renewal, because the guarantee is not written for those plans.
What it does well
Rogers offers sim only deals, so the plan can be picked up without tying the cost to a handset. 5G is part of the range, which matters for anyone on a 5G handset who would otherwise pay a network's price for older service. For households with more than one person on the bill, the multi line discount is the feature that changes the total. Extra lines added to an existing Rogers account are discounted, so the second and third line cost less than the headline monthly price suggests. That is a per account saving rather than a per plan feature, and it applies alongside the sim only structure. Roaming is available across 180 countries, which is broad coverage for a home network to offer. The terms matter as much as the reach: EU roaming is paid, so using the service in Europe is a charge on the account rather than part of the monthly plan. Readers planning regular European travel should read that alongside the country count before deciding.
Where it sits among rivals
On the entry price, Rogers ranks at 256 out of 258 brands listed by starting price. That places the sim only entry point in the cheaper part of the field, which is the number to anchor on when comparing against the networks and virtual operators on this list. On the unlimited price the position shifts. Rogers ranks at 157 out of 173 brands, so unlimited data is comparatively stronger than the entry price. Unlimited data at CAD 70 sits nearer the top of the field than the starting price does. The two rankings together describe the trade-off: a low opening number that pulls a reader in, and an unlimited option that holds its ground against rivals. Anyone shopping purely on the first month will read one picture, and anyone shopping on a heavy data month will read another.
Who runs it
Rogers is a network rather than a reseller or a virtual network operator, and it is headquartered in Canada. Its plans run in Canada, so the pricing and the coverage described here apply to a single market. Readers in other countries are not looking at a plan they can sign up for from abroad. Selling as a network means the contract, the network and the support all sit with the same company, which removes the layer of accountability that comes with a third party seller. The support channel listed is chat, and that is the route available for account questions and plan changes. The other side of being a network is that the plan set is defined by the operator itself rather than being adjustable, so choices about billing type, roaming terms and data limits are made within a fixed range.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Rogers sim only plan cost to start?+
The entry point is CAD 50 a month, and Rogers is a network selling it directly rather than through a reseller. All listed plans run on contract terms, so the monthly figure is part of a commitment rather than a rolling top up.
How much does unlimited data cost on Rogers?+
Unlimited data is priced at CAD 70 on the 5G+ Popular plan. The 5-Year Price Guarantee on Ultimate plan also applies, so readers comparing entry and renewal should note the guarantee is written for the Ultimate plan.
Does Rogers offer a multi line discount?+
Yes. A multi line discount applies, so extra lines added to an existing account cost less than the headline price suggests. It is a per account saving rather than a change to the sim only plan itself.
Does Rogers include roaming in the EU?+
EU roaming is paid at Rogers, so travel in Europe adds charges to the account rather than drawing on the monthly plan. Roaming as a whole covers 180 countries, so reach is broad even where the terms are paid.
What can I get help with on Rogers, and how?+
Support runs on chat, so live chat is the listed channel for account and plan questions. No phone line appears in the listed support channels, which is worth checking before signing up if voice matters to you.
Where does Rogers sell, and can I sign up from another country?+
Rogers is headquartered in Canada and its plans run in Canada, so the pricing described covers a single market. Readers outside that market are not looking at a plan they can take directly.
Can I get 5G on a Rogers sim only plan?+
Yes, 5G is part of the range and sim only deals are offered alongside it, so you can take 5G service without a handset tied to the plan. The Unlimited option sits at CAD 70 on the 5G+ Popular plan.
Is Rogers a network or a reseller?+
Rogers is a network, which means the plan, the network and the listed support channel all sit with the same company. Compared with a reseller or a virtual network, that removes a layer between the account and whoever supplies the service.
