Rogers making tablet ownership more affordable with Easy Pay

Tablets are increasingly becoming more expensive, but Rogers is allowing subscribers to own tablets via their Easy Pay scheme.

Easy Pay lets customers finance the cost of a tablet over 24 months. Customers choose a new tablet, connect it to a Share Everything plan, and make easy, low payments over 24 months. Rogers is sweetening the deal by offering Next Issue magazine subscriptions free for 2 years as long as they keep the tablet on their plan (excluding QC) and they can live stream over 1,000 games on  Rogers GameCentre LIVE and watch their favourite shows and movies with shomi. Available devices include the iPad mini with Retina Display, the Google Nexus 9 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S.
