3. Not including premium messages (3rd party alerts, content, contests and promotions). Includes received text messages while roaming if you have text messaging included in your plan/add-on or a roaming option that includes text messaging.

4. There is no guarantee of actual delivery or delivery within a specific period of time, as local operators are constantly changing. Messages not delivered after 72 hours will be deleted. The available countries and local operators are updated on an ongoing basis and are subject to change without notice. Maximum message length is up to 160 characters. If you have per line call blocking on your account your phone number will still transmit as part of a Rogers Wireless Text Message. Additionally you may experience inconsistencies in message delivery if the receiving party is roaming off their home network or recently has changed their service provider while maintaining their original phone number. This is a limitation of the International delivery network, not of the Rogers network, and we regret any inconvenience this may cause. Dedicated International Text Messaging Plans are now available, as International text messages are not included in the standard Text Messaging Plans.
