Is there a way to disable roaming and possibly remove charges?

I don't intend to use Fido roaming services, how can I make sure that I am not billed on roaming charges?

Hi there @ankurborwankar
To understand how you will be billed while roaming, please follow this guide that we already put up for you.
We also have a FAQs on our website that explain our Fido Roam vs our Pay-Per-Use services.
If you do not want to use your Fido services at all while abroad, we would suggest you to remove your SIM card from your device simply.
Hope that helps!

On our end, we will only charge you if there is usage made while roaming using your Fido SIM card. That is the only way we can track a communication to your device. Billed usage are calls (incoming and outgoing), sent texts (incoming are free), and mobile data.
However, since you live near the border there are some solutions we can suggest:
