Whether you require a phone for personal use or require a fully intergraded voice and data solution for your business providing email and browsing the internet wirelessly, we have something special for members of the BC Chamber of Commerce.

Rogers Wireless has the largest, integrated wireless voice and data network in Canada, reaching 93% of the Canadian population and offering extensive coverage in both urban centers and rural communities. GSM is the world standard for wireless communications that is relied upon by more than 73% of the world's digital markets. You will benefit from using this world standard by being able to:
  • Access the latest wireless devices and applications, quickly and affordably. More than 2/3 of the world relies on GSM technology. More manufacturers are building more wireless devices for this technology than for any other network. This means you can leverage economies of scale and receive lower priced handsets with a greater selection of devices.
  • Travel the world easily, with one wireless device, in almost every country around the world. Because more countries use GSM than any other technology, Rogers Wireless is able to create wireless voice and data roaming agreements and provide seamless access for our customers.
