As expected, for $75 you're getting the bare minimum here but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you're paying something like $40 or more per month but don't make use of all your minutes or texts and don't need data, one of these plans might suit you just the same and save you a lot in the long run. If you're interested in one of these options but need to modify it with add-ons, Rogers should be able to accommodate which means you can get say an unlimited texting plan with a $10 100MB data add on per month if you wish.
Power users won't have any interest in these plans but these would be perfect for text heavy kids or those who need a phone for emergency only purposes. More information can be found here.
Both plans are available until February 2013.

View allI've got a $5 addon for 250 texts which gives me free incoming texts, plus the 250 text is a decent number of texts for me to use.
What a freaking rip off. I blame the Rogers guy for not explaining this better to me.
But then again, I should of have done more research. Well, I'm glad to get rid of Rogers prepaid after 2 years, and go to Speakout.
Rogers keeping up with their high standards.
NOw here this!
$100 card = 365 days expiration
-$75 = 1 year unlimited Evening /or/ Text
Remaining = $25
End of story.
I know this because I just told someone to do this and they DID do it.
If you want to feed Rogers an extra $100 go ahead.

"Offer available from Nov. 7/12 - Feb. 5/13 and subject to change without notice."
Where they get this free from is that it is free to use, but you get CHARGED for the airtime to deposit it and when you listen to it... so basically you pay twice.
Rogers is SCUM and dont you forget that. EVER!.
SO at the very least you will pay when someone leaves the message, as for listening to it on another phone, In the old days they still charged you because you just called your own number like you are leaving a message, the only way is if you call the voicemail access number for your city and go to it indirectly.. better test it out because they can change it at any time. Remember Rogers IS SCUM, and dont you forget it!
Does anyone know if I can access the VM from the phone or a landline for free. The Rogers store rep said I could access from the phone for no charge but I haven't tried it yet.
The first thing to clear up this mess is to borrow a Rogers branded phone and try to send and receive a text message, if it DOES work then we know it is the phonem if it does not work we know it is on Rogers' end, call back and tell them to do something about it or escalate the issue.
Ok it sayd the 5th, so does that mean today the 4th is the last day?
Anyway how do you add this? call in on the phone or online?
1. Log on to your Telus Mobility account and activate the "Messaging 250" feature the day before your balance is set to expire. It'll cost you $5 and extends your expiry date by 30 days.
2. Don't set the feature to auto-renew, simply set a calendar reminder for yourself to renew it the day before it expires.
3. Manually renew Messaging 250 the day before it expires. It'll cost you $5 to push the expiry back another 30 days.
4. Repeat this process for the next decade or so until your insane balance hits zero.
As a bonus, adding a 30-day feature pushes your per-minute charge down to 20 cents/minute.
The only gotcha in this process is that you need a reliable calendar app to remind you about the renewal every 30 days. Be sure it's set to alert you a day or two before it expires.
$7/month covers 104 weekend daytime talk time minutes + all evenings after 6pm
+
261 days left @ $0.25/min
So even if I'd only manage to make 2 quick <1 min calls during those 261 daytime days
@
$11/month
=
$18/month
Not worth it for me, will stick to paying an extra $7/month w/mobi for unlimited talk/text/data.
