I have 3 cell phones and would like to cancel one phone line. Can I do it on line or do I have to call Rogers?

My promo is expiring. Now Rogers wants to raise the price by 40%. That's too much and they won't negotiate. Time to shop around.

I presume that this is regarding Digital TV. How determined are you to leave Rogers?

You could set a cancellation date that is not immediate. You might get a call back from Retentions with an offer to switch to Ignite. I would also suggest giving Ignite TV a try before leaving Rogers altogether.

If you have Home Phone with Rogers, do not cancel that service or you may end up losing your current telephone number. Sign up with a new service provider first and port your number. Your Rogers Home Phone service should get cancelled automatically once the port-out is complete.

Did you at least let Rogers provide you with a quote for Ignite services? As far as I know, Rogers absolutely will not provide any discounts for Digital TV anymore, not even to their most loyal long-time customers.

Just out of Curiosity. Is There a Disconnection Charge for quitting Rogers TV and/or Internet?

No, not that I know of, unless you are still under a contract. If you are considering switching to a third-party Internet provider and remaining on the Rogers network, then you are better off not disconnecting your service when you sign up with them. With some, if you have an active Cable Internet service, they will waive their installation fee.

@Danno You are clearly upset with Rogers. That's understandable. However, understand that Rogers also does not want to keep Digital TV around for any longer than they need to and they want their existing customers to migrate to Ignite TV.

If you switch to a competitor and things do not go well, you may have to go back to Rogers, so I would try to part ways with them on good terms. I would also give Ignite TV a try while you are still with Rogers. You don't have anything to lose. If you do not like Ignite TV, then that would be a good reason to part ways, but I would not leave purely out of spite.

Rogers can and will offer deals to some customers. It's like buying a car. You can pay the sticker price or you can negotiate. Of course they will tell you they don't provide discounts. That is simply not true.

$79.99
500 Internet
My flex 10 tv

$105
500 internet
my flex 20 + sports

$129
500 internet
Premier tv

@Danno I never said that Rogers does not offer deals or promotional discounts. They do for Ignite services, but I have not heard of anybody getting any discounts on any legacy services for quite some time.

I have four devices - 2 iphones, 1 mini ipad and 1 ipad on a Shared Plan.

I want to remove one of the devices and there doesn't appear to be an on-line method of doing so. There is a + ADD device, but no - REMOVE device.

There is also no information on the web page indicating how to remove a device.

What is the procedure please and why isn't it easily accessible on the web site?

Thank you for posting your query in the Community; we have been adding a lot of transactions to self-serve. Certain transactions like removing a line/device can be more involved, hence not available.

Please drop us a line in a PM so we can help. Need a hand? Check out our helpful blog on how to send us a private message.

I tried chat, and waited over an hour. Over 1 hour is way to long to wait. Please contact me when you have the time.

In my personal experience, Cancelling a line is always something that has to be done over the phone with a live agent. the reason there is no "remove" button online is because removing a line is considered cancellation and some lines when cancelled have a termination fee or early termination fee, so they do not want people to be subject to that, its best to call in to cancel.

1. It is unlikely (although possible) that anyone will contact you here by asking. Please refer to post 13 and PM the mods here for assistance.

2. Most companies do not allow for cancellations/removals on their website because they wish to discuss alternatives with you. For example, I recently wanted to end a subscription with the Globe and Mail and had to call them to do this. They offered me a very good deal to continue subscribing. This is but one example, but Rogers may be able to offer an alternative that is better than simply "removing", etc.

57 & Pauly. Thanks for your feedback.

FYI, I still have 2 phones and mini iPad on the Shared Plan so I didn't think the term "cancel" applied. Terminology!

I only wanted the large iPad "removed" from the plan as it is constantly on wi-fi anyway. There seems to be a button there to +ADD a device. I expected to see a - REMOVE device because I am not cancelling my cellular Shared Plan.

Too bad they can't put something on the website page that says: "If you want to remove a device call XXX-XXXX. " or "If you want to remove a device DM us in Community Forums" . Waiting on CHAT for over an hour wasn't impressive.

your not cancelling your main line, to remove your ipad, your ipad has a sim card and uses cellular data so its treated the same was as a voice line, though your billed very differently for it, but the cancellation of a data line is the same for voice, must be done thru an agent. your ipad even has a phone number assigned to it though it is not for making calls but the cell network was built on numbers as identifiers so this is why .

You will have to call Rogers. You can't do it online and even when you try to do it with CHAT it will fail. The problem is when you type in CANCEL the automated CHAT agent will try to connect you to a live agent. This took over an hour the two times I tried and during that time your online session times out without you knowing it. So you get a "session timeout" with no notice, before you get a connection to a live agent. Also when I tried calling Billing and Payments the system indicated the wait time was 35 to 50 minutes. Here they will tell you to Direct Message @CommunityHelps.

I hope this information answers your query, because the service to remove one device certainly frustrated me.

@Pauly You are correct because the only way I managed to get a device removed from my shared data plan was to call. I tried CHAT 4 times and it never transferred to a live agent when the word CANCEL was used. I tried again today (early Sunday morning) and it never got transferred after 1 hour.

I finally called and after talking to someone in Saskatchewan, I ended up in Windsor with the Cancellation Department. As you say, they want to keep you ( Retention Department) so guess what, my bill was reduced for X years by $X and I got my X Gig of data doubled. Of course I was told about upgrading my phones etc. with lease plans.

BASICALLY to let everyone know who comes here for information your only way of "removing" a device from your data plan is to CALL. There doesn't appear to be any other option and you may get a better deal!
