I called Rogers and the person I talked said they don’t do this. I believe they should to protect them and the real owners of the phones.

I really think this is quite dumb. The implementation will not rectify the problem because thieves will continue to steal them and sell it on the market. It can take up to a couple of months between the time it took Rogers to find out that their phone was stolen to the time it takes for them to blacklist the phone in particular. By that time, the phone has already been sold to the unsuspecting. The real victims here are not the thieve but everyday citizens who paid cold hard cash for the device. Roger should focus on internally. I mean most of these phones are stolen at corporate HQ where their employees can make orders in the hundreds. Rogers need to monitor their employees better, implement theft policies and code of conduct across all levels, screen those thieves out with “honesty test”, discourage them, improve their benefits and increase their job satisfaction so they wouldn’t want to harm the company. There are tons of shit Rogers can do. Blacklisting phones isn’t the cure, reforming their corporate culture at all level is! Come on Rogers, you are a multi-billion dollar company, you should know better!
