Historically, roaming in the Caribbean has been notoriously expensive. Without the right plan, you could get hit with shockingly high fees for calls, texts, and especially data usage. Many carriers offer “roaming add-ons” specifically for the Caribbean region. These can be a more cost-effective way to stay connected than paying standard roaming rates. One of those carriers is Rogers, which is now offering roaming services (talk, text, and data) in the Caribbean through its Canada-U.S.-Mexico mobile plan. caribbean roaming rogers

The add-on is part of the $105/month 150GB ‘5G Infinite Premium’ plan. The allocated data is available at speeds up to 1 Gbps, and unlimited data at speeds up to 512 kbps is available afterward.
