Canada''s Rogers Wireless says that it will be turning off its older TDMA and analog networks effective May 31, 2007 and will move customers on these older networks onto its GSM network. Rogers has begun an extensive program of communication to customers including letters, notifications on bills and intercept calls to ensure that these relatively few remaining TDMA and analog customers take advantage of the offer of a free upgrade to Rogers GSM network prior to the end of May, 2007.

"As Canada''s leading wireless voice and data communications services provider, Rogers is committed to offering our customers the best wireless experience," said John Boynton, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "By transitioning subscribers who are still on our TDMA and analog networks to our more advanced GSM service, these customers will enjoy the benefits of being on Canada''s clearest network at no additional cost," he added.

TDMA and analog customers will keep their existing phone numbers and service plans after the transition.
