How much is it for me to send and receive a text message?
Do I have to activate data roaming?
Many thanks
Clare

Hello @Clare2904,
Receiving messages is free but if you send a message then it will trigger the Fido Roam and you will be charged the $12 and can use the phone as you normally would in Canada.
If you do not want to pay the $12/day roaming rate you can contact Fido and have them disable that feature and you can do the pay-per-use rate you can get more info on the rates here.
You do not have to enable data roaming in order to send/receive SMS or make/receive voice calls.
You will need to enable roaming for sending/receiving MMS.
Happy holidays!
