FAQs about call forwarding on Rogers

Does Rogers charge for call forwarding?
Yes, Rogers may charge you for forwarded calls. Usually, you pay airtime for calls forwarded from your number, and if you’re forwarding to a long-distance or international number, additional charges may apply. It’s best to check your specific plan or contact Rogers customer service for details.

Can I forward calls internationally with Rogers?
You can forward calls to most international numbers, but international forwarding rates will apply, and these can be significantly higher than local call rates. Always double-check with Rogers before setting up international call forwarding to avoid unexpected fees.

Will my phone still ring when call forwarding is enabled?
If you’ve set up unconditional (all calls) forwarding, your phone will not ring—all calls go straight to the forwarded number. If you use conditional call forwarding, your phone will ring first, and if you don’t answer (or your line is busy or unreachable), the call will be forwarded.

Can I forward text messages too?
No, Rogers’ call forwarding only works for voice calls. Text message (SMS) forwarding is not supported through standard call forwarding features; you may need to look for third-party apps or solutions if you want to forward texts.

How is immediate forwarding different from conditional forwarding?
Immediate (unconditional) forwarding sends every call straight to your chosen number, so your phone won’t ring at all. Conditional forwarding only sends calls elsewhere if you don’t answer, your line is busy, or your phone can’t be reached.

Can I set up call forwarding from my Rogers account online?
Yes, you can set up call forwarding in your MyRogers account.
