What if I am out of Rogers Vision coverage?
If you have a Rogers Vision device, you can expect no major change in service or experience outside of the Rogers Vision coverage area. You may, however, experience a slight difference in video quality and slower browsing and downloading speeds. In addition, Video Calling is only available within the Rogers Vision coverage area. In the event that you attempt to make a Video call to someone outside the Rogers Vision coverage area, or to a non- Rogers Vision handset, you will be prompted to make a regular voice call before call completion occurs. In this circumstance, regular voice rates will apply. Otherwise, all other Rogers Vision services (Video On Demand, Radio On Demand, Mobile Internet, and Mobile TV) are available across Canada on the Rogers GSM/GPRS/ EDGE Network.
