Chatr vs. Chat-r
[edit]I have removed references to "Chat-r" since this name is not used in company communication nor news stories. While there is a dash/triangle between the "t" and "r" in the company's logo, that doesn't necessarily mean the name includes that punctuation. Any objections, please feel free to undo.David Agnew (talk) 22:52, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
French name
[edit]I've never heard a francophone pronounce the name as "Shatre". Is there any supporting evidence for this? Jurjenb (talk) 03:00, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
- À Ottawa, on dit "chat her" avec un h muet. Le service Chatr est peu utile aux Outaouais, surtout avec le forfait provincial qui ne fonctionne pas pour les numéros 819. --True Tech Talk Time (talk) 20:17, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Changes to chatr
[edit]Hi, this is Chris from Rogers Communications' social media team. There are some changes that we'd like to suggest to this article.
chatr is now available nation-wide in 200 new cities. Previously, it was offered in 7 markets in Canada.[1]
Garrick Tiplady is not currently Senior Vice President. Raj Doshi can be listed instead, he is quoted in chatr's most recent press release. His title is executive vice-president, Rogers Communications.[2]
chatr's new tagline is “Let’s Get Going”[3] which replaces "No Worries, Talk Happy"
New data buckets can be added to plans $35 and up. Customers on the $35 and $40 prepaid plans can add 500 MB for $10, 1 GB for $15, or the new 2 GB add-on for $25.[4]

- I've noticed this from looking at store signage. Thanks for disclosing your implication with Rogers to avoid a conflict of interest. I'm planning to edit in a neutral and unbiased way, without letting my involvement with TV Rogers interfere. This new Chatr seems to be a response to Telus Mobility's moves. Koodo changed its slogan from "Good call." to "Choose happy." Public Mobile changed from an indie carrier to a Telus-owned self-serve brand. I'll look at these new Chatr changes and adapt them in the article. --True Tech Talk Time (talk) 04:16, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

I added these updates which I could cite. Suggested updates (above) seem to overlap so i was unclear on some aspects. I also added reference of the CASSIES awards won in 2017. Robledoux (talk) 12:18, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
Can't cite undocumented fee
[edit]I added the following line but I am unable to cite since I cannot find any online reference to this 20¢/minute fee that applies to all customers, however I confirmed it by calling a Chatr agent. I feel that this was important to include since most people expect outgoing "310" calls to be toll-free (or considered a local call) anywhere in Canada. I checked here and can't find citing instructions for cases like this.
- "Outgoing calls to "310" numbers (such as 310-0001 for Panago Pizza or 310-SHAW for Shaw Cablesystems) – which are treated as local calls by most wireless carriers – are not included in any Chatr plan and are charged at the rate of 20¢ per minute."
