"roam like home" (essentially data (a text or two we figure)). We used WIFI the entire time, no data.

I messaged Rogers.
Apparently to avoid these charges you have to keep your phone on Airplane Mode while in the US the entire time or remove the SIM Canada while still in Canada.

This seems real shifty to me.
ST knows stuff - is this a regular practice?

Again, Roaming and Data off. We used WIFI the entire time while there

I'm curious how much did it cost you? -- nm - Pippy aka Desparada Oct 24, 07:15 1
- only got charged 4 and 5 days between us; $12 a day; so was $108 + tax, so nothing compared to the overall trip cost -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 Oct 24, 07:16
i always leave mine on Airplane and just use wifi - it will automatically join a network if you don't -- nm - Andie Oct 24, 05:55 1
- gotcha; good to know. Thanks all -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Oct 24, 06:06
I always keep mine on Airplane Mode and just turn on WiFi as needed. -- nm - znufrii Oct 24, 05:22
I haven't traveled internationally but that sounds shady to me if roaming and data were off. I'd complain to someone higher up. -- nm - Krusty Oct 24, 04:29 2
- my next move :) -- (edited) - Beaker 🍺 Oct 24, 04:53 1
