Hi to All on this AMAZING and informative site!

Thank you Peter and to all that contribute.

I wish I would have read more of this blog BEFORE I went out and bought the ROGERS pay as you go plan. I have not however, activated the sim card, or the $100.00 voucher as it is not that easy to do. When I went on line to do it, they want to charge me $50.00 to activate??? I thought that was odd, so, did not continue with the process. I did try to contat ROGERS via the 800 number and man oh man, was that ever a nightmare. Does anyone have experince to share with me on how to get this thing activated, or, do you think I should just scrap it and just go to the page where there are some Speak Out sims for sale? I am in Vancouver and will sell the $100.00 ROGERS voucher for $80.00 to any that may have interest.

Happy Weekend to all!

Hmm I have never heard about that before. Online activation should be free. Are you sure it wasnt minimum $50 airtime to activate ? So that you would just need a balance of $50 to start.

Hey Reilly;

Thank you for your prompt reply.

It is odd, isn't it? This is what is printed on the slip I have:
"NOW! Prepay Rogers Wirels
$100.00
This is your PIN:
The PIN"

Perhaps I need to try it again.The funniest thing though, was that when I was on line trying to activate it, a ROGERS person came on to assist me but they did not know how to proceed, so gave me the phone number to call! Sheesh!
