Roaming like home?

Aidansamso
I've been around

So I’ve been on vacation for well over 2 weeks now and I turns out that I’ve been charged for roam like home EVERYDAY since I’ve been gone! On my plan it says international texts are unlimited and I have not used data once! How am I supposed to afford 400$ what a rip off, your guys support number takes hours to pick up, I’m supposed to be on vacation enjoying myself now I gotta worry about this stupid scam. If this doesn’t get fixed I know I’ll be taking my business elsewhere

Are you sure you can connect to the wifi at the hotel with your phone on airplane mode?

Safest to have your phone on airplane mode all the time.

Yes - been doing it for years.  You can do it anywhere. Test it at home - turn on Airplane mode on your device, turn on WiFi, connect to WiFi.

Thank you!  I just tried it and at first it did not work.  I went into setting and put on wifi although it is supposed to go on automatically I guess it did not.

I buy an eSIM using the Airelo app and turn off my Rogers service when traveling.
