Rogers is expanding satellite-to-mobile coverage to Japan, Australia and New Zealand so Canadians can stay connected in more places where traditional cellular networks don’t reach.
The launch expands Rogers international satellite-to-mobile roaming footprint to four countries. Earlier this year, Rogers became the first and only Canadian carrier to offer satellite-to-mobile roaming in the U.S.
In areas without cellular service, satellite-to-mobile technology supports text messaging and access to satellite-ready apps, including WhatsApp, Messenger and X; navigation with Google Maps and AllTrails; and real-time weather updates via AccuWeather, with more on the way.
For Rogers customers, international satellite-to-mobile roaming is included in Ultimate plans as well as eligible Roam Like Home options and select Travel Passes.
