Data use and charges

I am going travelling and need to add on roaming minutes to my plan. What should I do?

Please contact your departmental Rogers’ Order Administrator to add a roaming package onto your account. The Roaming Package guide is not available online for corporate accounts. It is highly recommended that you purchase a roaming package when you're travelling outside of Canada, including the United States. You can significantly reduce your cell phone fees. 

If a roaming package was not added, the Rogers Auto-Deploy Buckets will be activated when anyone travels outside of Canada.  More details can be found here

No. Only Canadian SMS text messages are included in the unlimited text package. There are international text messaging packages available. Please contact your departmental Rogers’ Order Administrator for details.

Device and Account Changes

To verify your hardware upgrade eligibility please have your departmental Rogers’ Order Administrator contact the MYBSG3 team.

How do I transfer my existing Rogers account into the Rogers/SFU plan?

Rogers requires written confirmation/authorization from the designated SFU Order Administrator as well as the subscriber to change ownership/liability of a wireless service.

If the only requirement is to transfer the number to SFU’s account, the Order Administrator should e-mail mybsg3@rci.rogers.com, indicating that SFU is willing take over ownership of phone number and its contract; cc the subscriber, who must also indicate their agreement to Rogers.

I want to move my phone from Bell/Telus/another provider onto this corporate plan but want to keep my existing number. Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible.

Rogers requires written confirmation/authorization from the designated SFU Order Administrator as well as the subscriber to change ownership/liability of a wireless service.

Transferring Service 
If the only requirement is to transfer the number to SFU’s account, the Order Administrator should e-mail mybsg3@rci.rogers.com, indicating that SFU is willing take over ownership of phone number and its contract; cc the subscriber, who must also indicate their agreement to Rogers.

New Hardware Required
If new hardware is also required, please specify this in the e-mail to mybsg3 so they can check the Upgrade Eligibility.  The order administrator will also need to place the hardware order through the RogersDirect’s website.  

SFU User Survey
An important step in setting up a new user or service on SFU’s Corporate Plan is to have the user complete the Web Survey available on the Resources for departmental Rogers order adminstrators page.

The web survey provides personal and billing information to Telephone Operations and Accounts Payable, as well as defining and providing an electronic record of the user accepting the terms and conditions of possessing the University owned device.  Once the survey is completed I will be able to provide access to Rogers Business Self Serve to view monthly invoices.

Ownership
Please note that by agreeing to these terms, the wireless number and hardware become the property of SFU and all future management of the account must be handled only by the designated Order Administrator(s).

Cancellation Fees
It's also important to note that Rogers will not cover early cancellation fees from other cell phone carriers.

I'm an SFU employee with a corporate cell phone. Can I transfer my SFU corporate account to my personal account?

Yes, you can.

Rogers requires written confirmation/authorization from the designated SFU Order Administrator as well as the subscriber, in regard to changing ownership/liability of a wireless service. 

If the only requirement is to transfer the number to a personal account, the Order Administrator should e-mail mybsg3@rci.rogers.com, indicating that SFU is willing to relinquish ownership of phone number and its contract; cc the subscriber, who must also indicate their agreement to Rogers to accept financial responsibility.

Once transferred, the user must follow the instructions provided by your Order Administrator.  

Billing

Can my monthly payments come directly out of my grant?

No. If the grant includes this type of expense, you would need to obtain approval from Research Accounting first and then process a journal voucher after the expense has been approved.

Who do I contact if I have questions about my account or monthly bill?

Contact Rogers MYBSG (My Business Support Group) at 1-877-274-3375 ext. 55803 or email mybsg3@rci.rogers.com. Rogers will only speak to your departmental Rogers order administrator.

Troubleshooting

My phone is broken. What do I do?

If your phone is within its 12-month warranty please contact your departmental Rogers’ Order Administrator. They will contact RogersDirect and arrange a loaner phone while your phone is in for servicing. If your phone is outside of the 12-month warranty period, contact your departmental Rogers’ Order Administrator and see if you are eligible for a hardware upgrade. Most out-of-warranty repairs exceed $100. If you have an extended warranty please ask your departmental Rogers’ Order Administrator to contact RogersDirect.
