Hey guys!
Google just announced the Google Pixel and Pixel XL! Great phones with great features! Let's discuss more here!
1). Once Rogers has announce when they will add the Google Pixel and Pixel XL to the reservation list & the day comes, sign into your My Rogers account - Product & Services – Wireless & you will see a Red wording saying “Device Reservation" on the main page. Click that & it will take you to the page. Once there you will need to pick which device you want; Google Pixel and Pixel XL Black and what other colors they may release it on. You also need to pick the store you want it to go too. Just to make it clear, reservations are for current Rogers wireless customers which have contracts with them. Rogers will put up the Pre order list for people that want to pre order the phone which have no wireless accounts with Rogers. Also just too add below is the meaning of the statues .
- If your status is "OPEN", your reservation has been made and we are awaiting product from our supplier. At this time you can change your pick-up location, contact email address or cancel your reservation.
- If your status is "CANCELLED", your reservation has been cancelled and your reservation fee will be credited back to your account.
- If your status is "IN PROGRESS", we have begun the shipment process and you will not be able to edit or cancel your reservation any longer. The next email you will get will be the one that confirms shipment to the store you chose.
- If your status is "SHIPPED", your device has left our warehouse and is on its way to the store you chose. Keep in mind that you can NOT reserve a device via calling them. It can ONLY happen if the reservation system is down but they will to reserve it via online. Plus if you reserve it via phone, you will NOT see your status or know what number you are VS reserving it online.
2). Please keep in mind that if you pick a Rogers Authorized dealership, you may not be able to get the device soon after it ships. This has been the main issue with all the iPhone reservations & most of the other devices which have been on the reservation system. I would suggest you pick a Local Rogers store (Corporate Rogers store or Rogers Plus) to go to get it. When the Rogers warehouse sends it out, the Rogers stores will get them first. Some of the Rogers Authorized dealers have their own warehouse in which the devices will go to. After that there is no tracking until the device ships from that warehouse & goes to the store & they call you. You can also look for your FlexTab aka upgrade fee online via My Rogers or contact Rogers & they will let you know.
3). Also remember you are going to have to put down a $40 fee to reserve the device. Once it ships out, the $40 fee will be reversed back into your account. IF you want to cancel your reservation, that $40 will also be credit back to you. So either way you will get that $40 back. Also remember you may NOT be the first to get the phone if you have a high number or a low one. The Reservation system is made to have a device reserved for you as the stores will be sold out. If your reservation status still says “ OPEN” after launch & a store has a device in stock, you can still go in the store & get it. Then come back home & cancel the reservation online. If the status is “ IN PROGRESS” & you get a device via a store that have one for u, you have to wait until it ships out & then tell the store that u picked u do not want it. Do reemember the reservation number is CANADA - WIDE. This means if lets say you are #45 in line for the black one, you are #45 for that GB , color & model Canada wide. Also keep in mine you have to be the account holder in order to pick up the device at the store. No one else can. You can try adding a family member as Level on the account but some stores will decline it.
For frequently asked questions about the Rogers Reservation System, please click here Rogers Reservation FAQ
4) .For Corporate / Business customers. You guys will have a different line then regular customers do. This means you guys have a few different statutes then regular customers do. Also keep in mind for the past few years there has been issues / confusen about business customers getting the phones via the reservation. You guys will be getting them the day of launch or after depending on your status & what goes on.
Let's make this thread the only thread for the devices please and if you guys have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me and I'll gladly be able to helpSmiley Happy

Funny thing is, he got BOTH the call from the store he asked to call him if it comes in stock AS WELL as the email about it being shipped out the same day (he lives in Hamilton BTW). He ordered it thrusday at 6am, shipped to his house so maybe there is a difference if its in store or to your door?

have made my way to first spot for silver xl 128gb with no updates either.
it seems like the reservation numbering system is more of a placeholder. rather than first in first out scenario.

Where did you start out? I'm just wondering if they have started shipping, or you just moved up because of cancellations.

for the people who has received their pixel xl's.
has anyone witness their screen flickering at 100% charge with their chargers still plugged into the phone and wall outlet?
Thanks!

Started at #1 spot, still at #1 spot. This is as other people are starting to get the same phone that I ordered (Pixel XL 128gb black).
They just keep telling me its out of stock and i'll be the first one they'll ship to...
As other people are starting to say they are recieving that exact phone...

It's the lack of transparency with this system that is frustrating. If I knew this would happen I would have pre-ordered to my home.
I'm number 18 for the same model, and hearing that people are getting the phone is kinda disheartening.
I have an iPhone 7+ reserved as well that is at number 19 and at this point I'm just gonna take whatever comes first to get myself out of this horrible system ASAP.

Yeah I picked the wrong two phones if I wanted something quickly
Thanks for being so responsive @Meowmix. Hopefully one of these days they'll listen to you and we won't have any more grumpy threads.

I was #40 for the Silver XL 128gb and the store just received my order. Picking it up tonight.
@bassi1961 Hmm - how did you manage that? I'm at #4 for the Silver XL 128GB and my status hasn't changed at all.

@rajeshr
I'm 7 for the pixel XL 128 silver. Still open too.

Did you get your phone? What city are you in? I moved from 52 to 45 and my HTC One m8 is on its very last legs now, not charging, so I am desperate for a new handset. I'm confused why the person at spot 1 didn't get their phone though.

Probably due to the fact that Rogers seems to have not received any XL 128GB's so far. The reason your number dropped is that people in the queue ahead of you may have cancelled their orders.
