Changing province

[Rbrar]

Hi, I am shifting from Saskatchewan to Ontario. Can keep same number and same plan. As there are different wireless plans in Saskatchewan and Ontario.

Not sure.. if you change the billing address.. they MIGHT make you change?

Generally there should be no issues keeping the number and plan otherwise so to speak..
BUT.. anyone that would be calling you on it from Ontario, would be paying Long Distance fees to call you, as your number is located out there.

@Meowmix might have a little more info. 

But best bet would be talking to Rogers directly.

What happens with my plan when moving provinces?

Thinking about moving from Saskatchewan to BC later this year and am wondering how my cell phone plan would work. Mainly since plans are considerably cheaper in Saskatchewan than they are in BC. I've still got like a year and a half left on my current contract. 

Would changing my cell phone number from a Sask one to a BC one force me onto a more expensive BC plan?

Hello @Kaero,

Welcome to the Community 🙂!

BC sounds great! I realize plans available for Saskatchewan customers are really cost effective. However if you're looking to change your cellphone number to one in BC you would have to change your current plan to one that's available for the local area. Since the telephone number change would be due to a new location there will be no cost associated with it.

In order for you to maintain a region specific price plan, you have to ensure your billing address and cellphone number belong to the same region. 

Good luck with the upcoming move! Feel free to reach back out if you have any more questions.

moving to another area or province and keeping your plan is a great thing, and if it is compatible, I am okay with people doing this.

The only caveat I have is people who move to a new city or province and keep their old number with them. Yeah its great for *them* but me as your next door neighbour in a Toronto Suburb is not really cool for me to be charged "LONG DISTANCE" to call your Ottawa number to speak to you when you live in GTA right next door to me. Not everyone has unlimited canada wide plans and some people have only home phones and making LD is expensive.
