Rogers Responds to Globe and Mail Story
TORONTO, Dec. 19 /CNW/ - Rogers today responded to a story that originally appeared in the Globe and Mail on Saturday, December 17th. The Globe's story described an incident in 1998 which involved the "cloning" of analogue cell phones of senior Rogers' executives. The facts are as follows: The cloning incident referred to occurred seven years ago on a single Rogers' executive phone. At that time, cloning was an industry-wide problem which has been removed as a result of the industry move to digital technology.
In fact, the vast majority of Rogers' customers today are on GSM digital phones, the world standard upon which more than a billion phones are in operation worldwide, and cloning of these phones is virtually impossible. Ms. Susan Drummond's situation had to do with a lost or stolen phone and had nothing to do with cloning. The phone charges have now been eliminated and costs will be reimbursed. Ted Rogers was personally involved and apologized on behalf of the company
--------
Cloning happened on a phone which used an ESN, As far as I know, Bellus phones (Bell & Telus) still use ESN's too. Points for Rogers. Rogers DID offer her back then, to pay a smaller one time fee of $2000 to clear her of the charges, more points for rogers, instead of the $16,000 bill, now is Rogers really the devil for absorbing nearly $14,000 worth of her ballance? I think not, The fact of the matter that the writer for the Globe and Mail had to use the words Terrorist, and Hesbolah, and Cloning, in the title of the article about an incident which not only occurred over 7 years ago but has COMPLETELY NOTHING TO DO WITH CLONING OF THE LADYS ACCOUNT. she openly admitted losing her phone. Another point for Rogers! globe and mail is owned by Bell global media, such a poor stab at trying to hurt rogers, they failed miserably, Another Point for Rogers!
its a Win-Win situaiton for Rogers and Mrs. Drummond. both came out a winner. there is NO NEGATIVE things relating to this article, your commetns on billing and such have nothing to do with this article and should be directed to complaints.dept@rci.rogers.com
