Amid COVID-19, Rogers continues to enhance processes to keep Canadians connected and ensure safety of customers and teamsTORONTO, April 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rogers announced today that it is accelerating the expansion of Rogers Pro On-the-Go™, its personalized, mobile-retail experience. The service, available only at Rogers, is now available to more customers in Southwestern Ontario including Hamilton, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Brantford and Cambridge. With Rogers Pro On-the-Go, customers get a new phone in hours and expert support to set it up, at no extra cost.To keep customers and team members safe, Rogers and its partner Enjoy, temporarily moved to a fully contactless delivery and set-up model in March. The contactless Pro On-the-Go™ service includes personalized one-to-one support and phone delivery within hours. Customers choose the time and date that is most convenient for them and a Rogers Pro will deliver the device and help guide them at a safe social distance over the phone or through video call, to set up their new device, transfer applications, sync contacts, all based on the customer’s preferences. The experts will offer customers as much or as little help as they need to get their new device up and running, including tips and tricks to get the most out of their smartphone, like how to make a video call with a loved one across the country – all from the safety and comfort of the customer’s home.“In these uncertain times, Canadians rely on their smartphones to stay connected to the outside world and the people that matter most,” said Brent Johnston, President, Wireless, Rogers Communications. “It is more important than ever that we bring our customers the wireless devices and services they need in a way that’s safe, convenient and personalized for them.”Following today’s expansion, approximately 10 million Canadians now have access to the service.
