Hi @Fido5001 , I hear you. I buy a Sim whenever I travel. Keep in mind that if you want to use your fido plan like at home, Fido has to negotiate with the country you are traveling to, to allow you to use your Canadian service and phone number for a mutually agreeable fee. When you use a local Sim card, it's billed by a local company with no third party agreements, therefore cheaper to roam local. If you absolutely need to be in France, Germany or Japan using your local Canadian phone number, then the costs go up exponentially. If you want people from home to contact you, leave the phone number for the Sim card on your voice mail at home and get a plan with free incoming calls. It's all about global trade.
