Make the HTC One part of your summer music festival survival kit
April 19th, 2013 a 9:00am
The Lumineers, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs entertained the sunglass-wearing crowds at Coachella last weekend, kicking off the summer music festival season. And music lovers can look forward to a solid four months of events, including NXNE in Toronto in June and Osheaga in Montreal in August, not to mention the Manitoba Electronic Music Exhibition (MEME), B.C.’s Live at Squamish, Nova Scotia’s Evolve, Prince Edward Island’s Cavendish Beach Music Festival, Saskatchewan’s Craven County Jamboree, the Ottawa Bluesfest 2013 and the Calgary and Edmonton folk festivals.
Here are our tips for packing your summer music festival survival kit:
A great phone
A great smartphone with the right data plan is essential. How else will you find your friends, map your route, snap some photos and share them on Instagram, post updates on Facebook and Twitter and listen to tunes on the go?
The HTC One, available today for $149.99 with select three year plans, boasts some impressive audio quality. “HTC BoomSound” and dual front stereo speakers powered by Beats Audio amplifiers play your favourite albums loud and clear. You can even use the HTC One as a mini boombox to share your summer soundtrack.
The HTC One also has an ultrapixel camera and a feature called “HTC Zoe,” which automatically creates 30-second videos from your photos, so you can share the backstage photos instantly with all of your networks.
And, to keep track of your friends’ festival experiences, the HTC One offers real-time social media streaming updates on your home screen with “HTC Blink-Feed,” all powered by the blazing fast speeds of the Rogers LTE network.
The HTC One has already received rave reviews, with MobileSyrup calling it “currently the best smartphone on the market” and the CellularGuru describing it as “Superb. Gorgeous. Stunning.”
Sunscreen
This should be a no-brainer, but it’s so easy to forget. Stash some sunscreen in your bag, slather it on 20 minutes before heading outside and don’t forget to reapply.
Water bottle
Baking in the hot sun while dancing to your favourite band can lead to some serious dehydration. Stay at the top of your game with a refillable bottle of H20.
Heavy duty footwear
Yes, summer is sandal season. But by about the fifth time your newly pedicured toes get tromped on, you’re going to be wishing you brought some solid sneakers or boots.
Raingear
Canadian weather can change on a dime. While umbrellas are generally no-nos in crowds, a poncho or waterproof jacket and hat, along with a change of clothes packed in a waterproof bag, can transform your weekend from soggy to stellar.
Something toasty
You can’t rely on your fellow concert-goers to keep you warm. Whether you’d rather pull on a hoodie or sport your blanket like a cape, make sure you pack a few layers to help generate heat.
Something tasty
Long lineups can make it impossible to grab a meal between sets, so be sure to stash a few granola bars and pieces of fruit in your backpack to keep you fueled until the act has taken its final bow.
How does your smartphone power your summer plans?

Tags: Rogers LTE Network: Expanding to a market near you this spring
March 26th, 2013 a 9:01am
Weekends and sunny weather can move at a crawl, but when it comes to streaming my favourite song on the way to work or downloading a report before a meeting, I’m thankful for the fast LTE speeds on my smartphone. So I’m excited to share that our Rogers LTE network, Canada’s fastest wireless internet, will be bringing its speed to 44 new markets in Atlantic Canada, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec this spring.
Today, we’re announcing that over the next couple months, we’ll be launching LTE in Saint John, New Brunswick; Medicine Hat, Alberta; Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario; Guelph, Ontario; Muskokas, Ontario; Collingwood, Ontario; and multiple cities in Quebec. We’ll announce the other 38 markets in updates to this post over the next couple months.
We’re also excited to confirm that Rogers will be making its 2600 MHz LTE spectrum band available in all 44 markets, and 34 of the 44 new markets will offer theoretical network speeds of 150 Mbps. Rogers has more LTE network deployed in the 2600 MHz spectrum band than any other carrier in Canada.
What does 2600 MHz LTE mean to Rogers customers?
The 2600 MHz LTE spectrum band delivers higher speeds over the same distance, allowing Rogers customers to experience even faster service. It’s like how a train track allows you to commute even more quickly, but in the case of LTE, it means even faster internet for you.
How do I access it?
To take advantage of the 2600 MHz spectrum, you need to be in one of the 2600 service areas and use a 2600-enabled device such as the LG Optimus G 2600 or the LTE Rocket™ hotspot. More 2600-enabled devices will be coming to the network this spring.
In the coming months we’ll be expanding our network to these 44 new markets and growing our lineup of LTE and 2600-enabled devices. Bookmark this page for updates as we expand our LTE and 2600 offerings, or visit www.rogers.com/LTE.
Update, April 22, 9 a.m.: We’re happy to announce we are rolling out our LTE network in seven new markets today, including Airdrie, Alberta; Langley, B.C.; and the following regions of Ontario: Keswick; Hamilton, including Grimsby; Orillia; Stratford; and Ottawa, including Kanata, Nepean, Gloucester, Stittsville and Cumberland.
Update, May 1, 9 a.m.: We’re excited to announce we have rolled out our LTE Max network to a number of new markets in Ontario, including Chatham; Milton; Sarnia; Woodstock; Orangeville; Brantford; Collingwood; St. Catharines Greater Area markets including Fort Erie, Port Colborne, Welland and Pelham; and Greater Toronto Area markets including King City, Bradford, Whitchurch-Stouffville, East Gwillimbury, Georgetown and Halton Hills. Our LTE network has also expanded to cover Kentville, N.S., and Lloydminster, Alta.
: Tags: How to unlock your phone with Rogers
February 8th, 2013 a 10:21am
We get a lot of questions here on RedBoard about device unlocking. How does it work? What are the restrictions? What does unlocking even mean?
Here’s a quick guide.
So what is unlocking anyway?
By unlocking your phone, you can use your wireless device with a SIM card from another mobile carrier. This is a great benefit to customers spending extended time away in other countries that need to stay connected.
What are the restrictions?
When you purchase a wireless device on a new or existing Rogers account at full price, you are eligible to unlock it immediately.
For those customers who are under a term commitment, we have made some changes to our device unlocking policy to give you more flexibility in the way you use your wireless device. In March 2013, we’ll be changing our policy so that you no longer have to wait until you complete your full term commitment – you can unlock 90 days after activating your device on the Rogers network. We’re also making it even easier for you to have your phone unlocked by bringing it to any of our Rogers retail stores.
How much will it cost?
You can unlock your device for $50 plus applicable taxes.
Update March 6th, 6pm: Hi everybody. We’re happy to announce that our new unlocking policy will be implemented effective March 28th.

Tags: Talking Winter White Rogers phones and red hot fashion with style blogger Neha Lobana
February 2nd, 2013 a 1:35pm
Traditionally, wearing white after Labour Day was considered a fashion faux pas.
But not anymore!! Fashionistas everywhere know that storing your whites until May is an antique notion, white makeup is super-cool and white accessories add snap to black.
To celebrate this white-hot trend, Rogers is having a Winter White Event, featuring up to $100 off select white devices from Samsung, BlackBerry, Nokia, LG and HTC for a limited time.
We also spoke with fashion blogger Neha Lobana of La Lobana about wearing white in wintertime and what your phone colour says about you.
Q: Wearing white in winter: Fashion fail or win?
A: Wearing white is always a win! Not too many people dare to wear it since it’s known to do no justice for your figure, and it’s easier to get dirty. However, I feel that individuals need to be more daring and give it a try, because rocking a white outfit once in a while can really make you stand out.
Q: In your opinion, does fashion influence our technology choices? How?
A: Fashion definitely influences our technology choices. The way I see it, someone who works at, let’s say Vogue or Elle … you’ll most likely see them with an iPhone or even a BlackBerry (in their hand). At the end of the day, it comes down to whether or not you’re a “brand” person. If you’re one who buys most things brand related, then you’ll most likely have an iPhone, a Samsung Galaxy or a BlackBerry in your hands.
Q: What do you think makes someone choose a particular colour smartphone?
A: We all know the typical “pink is for girls and blue is for boys,” but with phones, from what I’ve seen, guys lean more towards devices in the colour black, whereas girls lean towards white phones. But again, it also depends on the person’s personality and their personal preferences.
Q: Have you ever changed the look of your phone with a skin or case so that it matched your outfit?
A: Never! But, that’s only because I buy cases that I know will go with any outfit I wear. It would bother me so much if I was wearing something and my phone’s case clashed with it. It basically ruins your look. The best advice I can give to those who also want their phones to pair well with their outfits is, although they’re hard to turn down, don’t purchase a million phone skins or cases. Pick ones that look great and you know will go with most, if not all of your outfits.
Q: If someone has a white smartphone, what does it say to you about their sense of style?
A: I have a white smartphone and I picked it because the colour stood out. So, I guess it just says the person prefers brighter shades when it comes to styling their outfits.
In addition to our Winter White event, we’re also giving away six white smartphones with our Winter Whites Pinterest contest. Full details here.

Why Windows 8: A Q&A with Raj Doshi, Rogers SVP of Products
January 3rd, 2013 a 8:46am
We recently announced that Rogers joined forces with Microsoft as the preferred wireless partner for Windows 8. We’re really excited about this new platform and some of the great new devices we’ve added to our lineup like the Nokia Lumia 920 and the Windows Phone 8X by HTC.
I sat down with Raj Doshi, Rogers senior vice president of products to talk a little more about Windows 8 and why you should get excited about it. Here are the highlights from our conversation.
Why should customers get excited about the Windows 8 platform? What sets it apart from other OS’s?
The Windows 8 platform is unique in that it provides solutions that both business and consumers will love.
From a consumer standpoint, the unique thing about Windows 8 is the tile functionality that lets you personalize your device. This is one of the key attributes of the Windows platform. The live tiles provide always-on connectivity which is perfect for things like social networking.
If you’re a gamer, the Window 8 platform provides Xbox solutions. It also gives you the ability to use SkyDrive cloud service solutions which brings all of your content together onto your mobile platform.
If you are a business, Windows 8 includes the Microsoft Office suite so you can do things like review and edit documents as you would in an office environment. For business users, it is very valuable to have this ability while on-the-go.
Back in 2009, Rogers introduced the Android platform to Canadians before most people knew about it. That has grown to be a huge segment of the market. Are we investing in Windows 8 now because we see a similar trajectory?
Windows 8 is going to provide customers with another choice in terms of platform. Windows 8 is actually an evolution of some of the Windows mobile platform solutions of the past. What’s unique this time is the fact that the operating system (OS) and the user interface are extendable across mobile, PC, tablet and Xbox. This time, it is a very cross platform solution and that’s why, as a company, it makes sense for us to support it. It aligns perfectly with the services we provide in each of these areas and from a customer adoption standpoint, it makes all of them a lot easier to use.
What can Rogers customers expect from our Windows 8 lineup?
Combined with our LTE network, we will have a lineup of solutions that are only available with Rogers. I think it’s important that customers recognize three key things that make Windows 8 devices from Rogers more valuable:
- A strong network – which we have in LTE
- Unique and well-designed devices and,
- Applications that leverage the speed of the network and the capabilities of the device.
In the Windows platform, we have delivered on all three fronts. We’ve got unique Rogers applications included like Rogers My Account and Rogers Anyplace TV. Combined with great devices and our LTE network, you have a winning combination.
When talking about Windows 8, you often hear the phrase “cross platform experience.” Can you explain what that means?
Sure. One of the biggest customer needs is the ability to both consume and interact with content in a consistent way across various devices. Windows 8 really delivers on that. Their tile interface allows you to interact with your content across all of their solutions including PCs, tablets, Xbox and mobile. Now, you are able to take your content seamlessly across all of your various screens and use it in a similar way. That’s pretty powerful.
What Windows 8 feature are you most excited about?
The tiles are the most exciting thing to me because it lets you personalize your device. You get to pick the information and key applications you want displayed on the front page so your device is unique to you. The voice interface and voice recognition on Windows 8 devices is also very useful for me.
Tell me a little more about what you like about Speech?
Sure. You just hold down the Home key, say what you want and it works flawlessly. The voice recognition is phenomenal. It is extremely accurate and works particularly well with things like Google Maps.
Anything else you’d like to add about Windows 8?
I did just want to add one thing about the Windows 8 tablet category. This category is unique because it moves the tablet from a consumption device to a “create-and-consume device.” For example, in the Samsung ATIV smart PC that we’ve launched, you can load up any Windows application so that it is basically like a PC. This creates a new category of devices called “convertibles.”
The notion of these convertibles is that it combines a tablet and a PC by adding a keyboard. Now, you don’t have to carry two devices. When I go out of town right now, I take my tablet and I end up taking a laptop too. This really puts the power of both of those devices together.
Thanks Raj!
Have you tried a Windows 8 device yet? What do you think?
This is Miranda’s final contribution to the Redboard blog. We wish you all the best, Miranda! And thanks for everything you’ve done to make Redboard what it is today.
: Tags: LTE speed just keeps on comin’! Rogers rolls out 18 new markets
October 1st, 2012 a 8:30am
Whew! Our engineers and technicians must be exhausted! They’ve just completed the rollout of an impressive 18 new Canadian markets and now, our LTE network reaches nearly 60% of all Canadians. Rogers was the first carrier to introduce LTE in Canada and in many of these markets, we will be the only LTE provider.
18 new markets, from West to East:
Here’s where you can now access Rogers LTE across the country:
- British Columbia: Victoria, Abbotsford, Kelowna
- Alberta: Edmonton
- Saskatchewan: Saskatoon and Regina
- Ontario: St. Catharines/Niagara, Oshawa/Pickering/Ajax, Windsor, Sudbury, Kingston, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, London, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Barrie
- Quebec: Quebec, Sherbrooke and Trois-Rivières
LTE is also already available in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and surrounding cities, Calgary Vancouver and surrounding cities, as well as on the East coast in St. John’s and Moncton.
What does LTE mean for you as a Rogers customer?
- Faster speeds! But don’t take it from us. Check out results from our LTE speed test contest and, while you’re at it, take a peek at how Rogers stacks up against the competition in a test by readers of the iPhoneinCanada blog, where the fastest speed was recorded by a user on the Rogers network in Brampton Ontario.
- Even better access to data: since we first launched our Ottawa LTE network in July of last year, we’ve seen an 80% increase in data usage, and we expect wireless Internet usage on our network to grow six-fold by the end of 2016.
- Increased mobility: according to Cisco, by 2015 more smartphones will be connected to the Internet than home computers. And the traffic generated from these on-the-go devices will exceed traffic from wired devices.
- The largest selection of LTE devices of any Canadian carrier: among others, we’ll soon be carrying a unique version of the LG Optimus G that operates on the 2600 MHz spectrum, making it Canada’s fastest smartphone. The LG Optimus G will kick things into high gear with maximum theoretical LTE download speeds of up to 100 Mbps. On Rogers LTE customers will experience typical experienced speeds ranging from 12 Mpbs to up to 40 Mbps.**
Check out our LTE coverage map here and be on the lookout as we continue to expand our LTE coverage, adding additional markets this year and in 2013.

September 12th, 2012 a 2:00pm
Oh the difference LTE makes. Many of you have already told us how LTE has transformed your digital lives. And with some of the most exciting and hottest devices of the year coming to Rogers soon, we wanted to let you know we’ll be bringing Rogers LTE to even more cities by October 1.
LTE continues to roll out across Canada
We’re continuing to expand our LTE network at a fast pace, with a plan to cover approximately 60 per cent of the population by the end of the year. By October 1, 2012, we will launch in Kingston, Edmonton, Quebec City, Oakville, Burlington, London, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Barrie. Even more cities will launch in 2012 and throughout 2013. We’ll continue to keep you updated here on RedBoard. For a list of current, available Rogers LTE cities, check out our full coverage map here.
Why do we love LTE?
If you haven’t experienced Rogers LTE yet, here’s some of our top reasons why we love LTE speeds:
- Stay connected with your family: Whether you’re away for business or out of town for the weekend, you can enjoy face time or video calling with your family at speeds you didn’t think were possible on a wireless device.
- Work on the road: With an LTE Rocket stick, hub or hotspot, you can work on the road with ease. Send and receive large documents or conference call your colleague. With superfast LTE speeds, you won’t even realize you’ve left the office.
- Entertain the kids: Use your device to stream videos and music in real time on those long road trips. Your kids will love you and you’ll enjoy a peaceful, quiet car ride for a change.
Get the highest speeds available
Rogers was the first to launch LTE in Canada and was the first to offer maximum network theoretical download speeds of up to 100 Mbps, available to the most Canadians, with typical experienced speeds ranging from 12 to 40 Mbps using an eligible device*. This means downloading apps, streaming video and music, storing files in the cloud, enjoying faster gaming experiences with virtually no delays or buffering, and even hosting wireless video conferences, can all be done on your smartphone, at speeds similar to what you would experience on your computer.

: Tags: Report: Canadians enjoy some of the world’s fastest internet speeds
July 13th, 2012 a 2:14pm
Earlier this week we marked the one-year anniversary of Canada’s first LTE wireless network here at Rogers. With over 60% of the Canadian population on track to have access to the fastest wireless network technology in the world by the end of this year, it’s no wonder Canadians have been found to enjoy some of the fastest internet speeds globally, as well as lower mobile wireless prices and lower prices than in the U.S. for telecom services.
In a report released earlier this month by the CRTC, Canada’s wireline, wireless, and internet services were compared to those of other major countries. How did we fare relative to countries like the U.S., U.K., France, Australia, and Japan? Here are the highlights:
Canadians have access to increasingly faster internet service speeds.
Although the price for broadband internet service in Canada has increased since 2008, this is largely attributed to the significant increase in average service speeds offered by Canadian internet providers. For example, an average high-speed internet consumer with 50 GB of data usage per month saw a 100% advertised speed increase in their service – from 14.2 Mbps in 2011 to 28 Mbps in 2012.
When it comes to mobile internet service, due to investments in 4G LTE mobile internet access services, the report finds Canada’s average advertised speed is significantly higher than that of the other five surveyed foreign jurisdictions.
Canadians’ mobile wireless costs are decreasing.
In the wireless service baskets that most closely reflect average Canadian mobile usage, the price for mobile wireless service has decreased substantially over the last few years. An average consumer with 1,200 incoming/outgoing minutes, full set of optional features, 250 text messages and 1GB of data usage per month saw a 12% decrease in the price of his/her plan since 2008 – roughly 3% per year on average. Note that this figure does not take into account handset subsidies which are included in the price of wireless plans for Canadian subscribers, compared to European subscribers that are predominantly on prepaid or SIM-only plans. An inclusion of handset subsidies in this price comparison could result in an even higher reported percentage decrease in wireless price plans since 2008.
Canadians enjoy lower prices for telecom services than their neighbours to the south.
The CRTC’s study shows that Canadian wireline telephone, mobile wireless, and broadband internet prices are consistently and considerably lower than the average prices in the U.S. As well, when it comes to bundled service packages, some of which include digital TV services, from 2008 to 2012 average prices for a telecom bundle have always been cheaper in Canada than in the U.S. In 2012 alone, the average price difference between Canada and the U.S. for the same bundles ranged from $47 to $66 per month.
You can read a copy of the CRTC’s full report here.
