Keystone Agricultural Producers announces a new, low-cost group wireless package for KAP members, through Rogers Communications, that will accommodate both heavy and light cell phone users.
“New opportunities have become available as a result of the Rogers network expansion, and we took advantage of this to reduce mobile communications costs for members,” said KAP president Doug Chorney. “Farmers depend heavily on cell phones and smartphones, and this is certainly a good way to lower this costly expenditure.”
“Rogers recently brought expanded and improved network coverage to Manitoba,” said Tim Prokipchuk, manager of commercial and corporate sales for Rogers. “Our high speed packet access wireless service – or HSPA+ – now reaches 96 per cent of the population.
“This means that residents throughout the province, including those in remote and rural areas, can talk, email, surf the web and use their favorite mobile apps at home and when travelling.”
Kyle Foster, chairman of KAP’s Member Benefits Committee, said the new package can offer significant savings for members.
“In reviewing the package, we compared a number of members’ current cell phone bills to the new rates,” Foster said. “On average, we saw savings of 31 per cent – although some members could receive over 40 per cent in monthly savings.”
The package also offers voice pooling at no extra charge – a feature that allows all cell phones on the same account to share peak daytime minutes. This will allow a high-use peak time phone to go over the peak daytime minute allotment, provided that the minutes do not exceed the total for all phones on the account.
The new program is only available through the KAP member Rogers’ line at 204-296-9962.
