Ok, so just for fun let's have everyone weigh in. I've actually thought a lot about this over the past 6 months and looked at it closely. If Rogers came to you tomorrow and said we'll take your phone back and let you out of your contract without penalty, where would you go?
Telus? - Which is the premier choice these days in my opinion for purely telephone uses, call clarity, etc. But it will cost you slightly more and will not have quite as much network coverage and speed. Of course no VoLTE there nor Roam Like Home options yet that I know of.
Bell? - Similar pricing, probably a little cheaper, but TERRIBLE, and I mean TERRIBLE customer service... the worst (research it, really), sub par network, still don't even have an update out for this issue... still no VoLTE as well for though that need it.
The Koodo's, Fido's, Chatr, etc. are simply budget options that may work for some if you don't leave the city much.
Not looking for an argument, just opinions on what you'd do.
Just a heads up, Telus and Bell have the same coverage, they built their network together sharing Towers, however the backhaul, core network, and billing system is seperate. Bell does have the worst customer service, I was with Bell for 15 years, and I know first hand how bad it is. But Bell's network is actually really good, lots of fiber backhaul, consistant LTE speeds, fast download and upload. Rogers tuned their network for fast downloads, but slower uploads, rogers also doesn't have as much fiber backhaul.
To everyone having problems with VoLTE still not working, follow the steps Rogers posted making sure VoLTE is turned on, then after 30mins turn your phone off for 5 minutes, then power back on. If it still doesn't work then call Rogers and make sure they have your IMEI on the account, then ask them to reset the network on their end.
