Does Rogers Have Free International Roaming? (2026)

No. Rogers doesn't offer free international roaming as a standard feature. Roam Like Home is billed at $16 CAD a day in the US and $18 CAD a day in other eligible destinations, or you prepay a Travel Pass. What some Rogers customers do get is roaming built into their plan for specific places, a handful of free days through a Rogers credit card, or a discount on passes. Which of those applies depends on your plan, so here is each one, checked on rogers.com on 30 October 2026.

Which Rogers plans include roaming?

Rogers' current 5G+ lineup builds roaming into three of its four plans. Inclusions come from the plan footnotes on Rogers' plans page; prices are list prices for one line before bundle and Auto-Pay discounts.

A few details in the footnotes are worth knowing before you count on that coverage:

• The US and Mexico inclusions expire. Essentials and Popular cover those destinations "for 24 months from plan activation date." After that, the line goes back to daily or pass pricing unless Rogers changes the terms.
• Data on Essentials slows down in the US past your allotment. The footnote says roaming in the US uses your plan's high-speed data, then reduced speeds up to 512 kbps for the rest of the bill cycle.
• Ultimate's 64 destinations are a fixed list, not "the world." It includes the US, Mexico, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand, among others. Anywhere off the list falls back to Roam Like Home, at half price.
• Primary use has to be on the Rogers network. Every inclusion footnote says primary data usage must be on your smartphone on the Rogers network, so these are travel allowances, not a way to live abroad on a Rogers plan.

Older plans and business plans have different terms. If you're not on a current 5G+ plan, your Mobile Service Agreement is what decides it, and texting TRAVEL to 222 confirms whether you're enrolled in Roam Like Home.

Are there free Roam Like Home days?

Yes, through Rogers Bank rather than through the mobile plan. The terms on Rogers' roaming page list:

The days are credited on your Rogers bill as you use them, once Rogers links the card to an eligible mobile account (usually automatic within 7 business days). Any number on that account can use them, first come, first served. Prepaid accounts and most enterprise plans are excluded.

There's also a booking offer: book more than $1,000 CAD of travel outside Canada on Rogers' "Travel With Rewards" site (powered by Expedia), use your Rogers number on the booking, pay with a Rogers Bank Mastercard, and Rogers applies a 30-day International Travel Pass at no cost. Rogers describes it as a limited-time offer.

What does Rogers charge if roaming isn't included?

You pick between paying per day and prepaying a pass.

Roam Like Home Daily. $16 CAD per day in the US (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands) and $18 CAD per day in other eligible destinations, per the Roam Like Home terms. A day is a calendar day in Eastern Time and runs until 11:59:59 p.m. ET wherever you are. The fee is charged per line, only on days you use your phone, and gives you your plan's own data, talk and text. Visiting the US and another country on the same day is billed as both.

Travel Pass. A fixed price for 3, 7, 14 or 30 days in one region. Prices on rogers.com on 30 October 2026:

Pay-per-use. If you've opted out of Roam Like Home or you're somewhere it isn't offered, you pay standard rates. For France, Rogers' destination search shows $2.00 a minute, $0.75 a text and $15.00 per 20MB of data. That last figure is why one forgotten background app can cost more than a pass.

Per day or a pass: where the break-even sits

From the second day of use in one region, a Rogers Travel Pass costs less than daily charges in the US, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Central & South America. Africa is the exception: its 3-day pass is $40, so it wins from the third day. The daily rate only wins for a single day abroad, or a trip where you'll touch the phone on one or two days out of many. Our step-by-step guide to activating a Rogers Travel Pass covers how to set the start date so a pass doesn't overlap daily charges.

What's free on Rogers while you're abroad

Even without included roaming, some things don't cost anything. From Rogers' roaming charges FAQ:

• Incoming texts and unanswered calls aren't billed if you've opted out of Roam Like Home and turned data roaming off.
• Wi-Fi Calling to Canadian numbers, including checking voicemail, and incoming Wi-Fi calls aren't charged.
• The welcome text Rogers sends on arrival is free, per its roaming page.

What does cost money: sending a text, answering a call, or any data over a cellular network abroad. Rogers also warns that iMessage can quietly fall back to SMS and that background refresh or cloud backups can use cellular data, which triggers a roaming charge.

The cheaper way to get data without free roaming

If your plan doesn't include your destination, the bill for data is the part you can shrink. A prepaid travel eSIM adds a second line for data while your Rogers line stays on for calls and texts. Rogers' own billing FAQ tells customers using a third-party travel eSIM to set it as the primary line so the Rogers SIM doesn't connect to a roaming network.

The Rogers figures are a pass using your own plan's data. The eSIM figures are separate data, so your Canadian allowance stays untouched. For the full picture by region, see Rogers Travel Pass vs eSIM, and for trips where you'd otherwise pay $18 a day, Rogers Roam Like Home vs eSIM.

If you're on 5G+ Popular heading to Mexico, or 5G+ Ultimate heading to one of its 64 destinations, your roaming is already paid for in your monthly bill. Everyone else is choosing between $16 to $18 a day, a pass, or a few dollars for an eSIM.
