Hey @JT2128!
I've moved your post here as it deals with a similar topic and @FidoAmanda's solution explains what can trigger FidoRoam charges.
If you have further questions, let us know!
Hey @joseph5412 !
I've moved your post here. It seems you were billed for FidoRoam triggered by the phone call you made. The $12 allows you to use your services as you do in Canada for 24 hours.
Hope that helps!
Hello Kajad,
Welcome to the community!
Unless there have been recent changes to their policy, I believe Fido does abide by the Wireless code. The $100 cap was initially for roaming data overage fees and did not include regular Fido Roam fees. However, as of May 29th, 2018, Fido Roam was combined with all other data roaming pay-per-use fees under a single $100 cap (see here).
Did you have an issue where your services were not suspended once they reached the cap? You should note that if your travel spans two billing cycles, the second cycle begins a new cap limit.
Hope this helps 😀
Cheers
Hello again,
If you haven't travelled anywhere, then you shouldn't have been charged for roaming. Do you live close to a border? Occasionally, phones close to the border might connect to a US cellular tower rather than a Canadian tower. Many of the affected areas have already had this issue addressed. However, there may be a US cellular tower which has not yet been identified to Fido as problematic.
You might consider contacting customer service to go over those charges with you. Alternatively, you might consider sending @FidoSolutions a PM. Once they verify some information, they'll also be able to access your account.
Hope this helps 😀
Cheers
Hey @Jessik_liliana
Welcome to the Community!
I moved your post here since the topic is similar. As mentioned in the solution to this thread, Fido Roam will kick in for any usage of your services (texting/calling/data).
Did you use any other services during your trip?
And you mentioned turning the Roaming Data off, did you do the same for the Mobile Data?
Let us know 
Hello PatriciaS,
Welcome to the community!
If you do not wish to travel using Fido Roam, you would need to contact customer service to opt-out of the service. Alternatively, you might consider sending @FidoSolutions a PM. Once they verify some information, they'll also be able to access your account. In addition, they can also be contacted via Live Chat, Facebook, or Twitter. Those methods can be accessed via the contact page posted above.
Once you are confirmed to have the service disabled on your account, your usage abroad would be on a pay-per-use basis. If you choose to travel without Fido Roam, you might consider disabling data and roaming data as those charges can add up quite quickly. You can view the pay-per-use rates here.
If you wished to disable roaming entirely, you would need to contact customer service and have them place a roaming block on your line. Alternatively, you might consider keeping your phone in Airplane or Flight mode. You could then manually enable Wifi when required. With Airplane mode enabled, the phone should not be able to connect to the local networks. You should note that if your phone is Wifi-calling enabled, some usage abroad would be considered roaming (see here). Another option would be to remove the SIM card from your device. However, if you choose this method, you would need to ensure you do not lose the SIM card. While you can order a new SIM, you would likely be charged for the replacement SIM.
Hope this helps 😀
Cheers
Hey @eurocrash!
I have moved your post to this thread since it's related.
I'm sad to see that your recent experience with Fido Roam did not match your expectations.
We definitely wouldn't want to see you go over this so I would like to start off by clarifying a couple of things here.
As you can see in the solutions above, the Fido Roam daily fee only applies if you use the data, talk time and texts from your monthly plan while abroad, meaning you are only billed for what you use. The 24h period starts when you first use your phone that day.
Had your device been off, it would be impossible to incur any the Fido Roam daily fee.
Also, incoming text messages do not trigger the Fido Roam daily fee as you have no control over someone sending you an SMS thus any charge related to SMS would be for outgoing SMS.
You can choose to opt-out of Fido Roam for future trips if you prefer. If you decide to opt-out of Fido Roam, our regular roaming rates will apply when you travel. This means you’ll be charged full price for every minute, SMS/MMS and all of the data you use while roaming.
We are sorry about the misinformation you were provided @eurocrash. As @FidoAmanda mentioned, incoming SMS are not billed as you have no control over them. Only an outgoing usage is billed.
You can learn all about Fido Roam here.
If you wish, we can double-check what usage caused the roaming fees on your account. Let us know and we'll send you a PM.
Hey @a_mori78!
FidoRoam charges only apply if you use your service, texting/calling/data, while roaming. If you do not use any of your services, then you will not incur any charges for FidoRoam.
One thing that is important to remember is that, if you do not intend to use data while roaming, you need to ensure that you leave your data roaming set to off under your devices network settings.
Hope this helps!
