Rogers Satellite now offers international satellite-to-mobile roaming in four countries, including Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. This service is available for Rogers Ultimate plans, which include eligible Roam Like Home options and select Travel Passes (International and International + Cruises).
Service Features
Rogers utilizes Elon Musk’s Starlink technology to provide customers with access to essential apps and services, such as WhatsApp, Messenger, X (Twitter), Google Maps, AllTrails, and weather updates from AccuWeather. The service is included in Rogers Ultimate plans, which are priced at $100 per month.
Additional Benefits
Students in Canada can receive the Gemini service for free for one year, while Bell is selling a nearly 50% stake in its towers to a Quebec investment firm. Rogers has also faced regulatory scrutiny, being fined $15 million for deceptive unlimited plan advertisements.

The service now covers four countries, including Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, providing Canadians with more options for staying connected while on the go.
