Rogers -> Moving home for summer, and back again for fall

January 26th, 2005, 01:55 PM

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to figure out if there is a decent way of doing this:

I have a 2 year contract with rogers, and am in Guelph Ontario right now (which is where my current rogers number is local to). In the summers, i go home for 4 months of the year. When I do this, i am in local range of Windsor, Ontario, so my Guelph number is long distance for anyone calling me. This kinda sucks.

I know that i can get my number switched to a windsor number, which is fine, but when I go back to Guelph in the fall, I have to switch my number again. I can see this becoming very confusing in the next couple years if I have to keep switching phone numbers all the time. Is there any alternative solution to switching phone numbers left and right? I don't want to have people update their phonebooks twice a year.

Is there something I can do, 'legit', or otherwise that will help me at least perhaps alternate between only 2 numbers? I'm under contract so i don't want to go get another phone for when I go home :/

Do you have an old phone kicking around somewhere? If so, activate it with a Windsor number and forward calls to your Guelph number. Or the other way around, whatever works. (my husband is working in Alberta, and this is what he's done - we can still call him on a local call)

You're probably better off to go to Rogers and talk to them abut the best plan.

hmm, i don't really have anything that would work in this scenerio as far as old phones go, but if i was, how much is he paying monthly to keep this 'forwarding' phone active ?
