Customers of Telus and Bell won’t have access to the new cellular service between Sooke and Port Renfrew until those companies sign a roaming agreement with Rogers
The network went live in May, and all cellphone users can call 911, but only Rogers customers can use the line for other calls along the remote portion of Highway 14 that includes the communities of Jordan River and Port Renfrew, as well as French and China Beach provincial parks and the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail.
And so far, Telus and Bell — Canada’s other major carriers — haven’t opted to roam with Rogers on the new line. Telus and Bell gave no indication of when — or even if — they would opt in. Telus said it’s looking at options to provide wireless service to the highway corridor between Sooke and Port Renfrew, and will “reach out with an update when we have more to share.”
The sites were rezoned by the Capital Regional District and involved several landowners, including First Nations and forestry companies. Jeri Grant, alternate director for the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area, is hopeful Rogers and the other cellular companies will come up with some kind of roaming arrangement.
Chelsea Sheen, guest services manager at Wild Renfrew, which provides accommodations in the area, said there’s zero cell service for anyone other than Rogers customers in Port Renfrew, but everyone can get Wi-Fi at the company’s properties.
