@Arvinvirrey : Do you live near the border with the US?  If you have your phone set to "auto" instead of Rogers in your Network setting, this may be the reason when the phone uses a US provider instead of Rogers.  Usually you would get a text from Rogers saying that you are roaming...

Here's a post on avoiding roaming charges.

call them up and ask if they can check the CDR records to see which text messages are chargable and give you an example of the numbers.

I have a friend who lives and works in Canada and has a Canadian phone number, but to my surprise, he has a US number too and did not tell me.  He did a group chat with me once and included his US number in the group chat and I had no idea,  after a bit of some conversation, I was on the hook for US text messages on my next bill and this was the reason why.,

sometimes it might not be so obvious to you why your charged.
