Rogers is once again increasing the fees associated with its Roam Like Home daily roaming service, according to an internal document obtained by MobileSyrup.

This time around, both the U.S. and international components of the service are affected. Starting today, Rogers will charge subscribers who take advantage of Roam Like Home in international markets, which includes more than 100 travel destinations across the globe, $12 per day, up from $10 per day.

Additionally, the carrier is now capping fees at 15 days per billing cycle, up from the previous maximum of 10 days per billing cycle. Similarly, moving forward Rogers is capping U.S. roaming fees after 15 days. Taking into account the new fee and limit, Rogers subscribers can expect to pay a maximum of $180 per billing cycle when using Roam Like Home internationally. Previously, the international maximum was $100 per billing cycle.

Meanwhile, those roaming in the U.S. can expect to pay a maximum of $90 per billing cycle, up from $60 under the carrier’s previous pricing structure. Rogers customers currently traveling in the U.S. and internationally will see the new fees reflected on their next monthly bill if their billing cycle resets on or after February 28th.

The company has updated the welcome SMS message it sends to traveling customers accordingly. It is also sending out notification text messages to customers starting today.

In an email to MobileSyrup, a Rogers spokesperson said that “customers are using more data than ever while traveling abroad.” “With Roam Like Home and Fido Roam available in over 100 destinations, our customers are using more data than ever while travelling abroad,” said the spokesperson via email.

“We believe the service continues to offer great value with the ease, convenience, and predictability customers expect.” Today’s Roam Like Home fee increases come less than year after the carrier increased its U.S. Roam Like Home fee to $6 per day. rogers roam like home fee
