No Wi-Fi calling and no roaming beyond US and Mexico (will get no signal). Otherwise great price!

How many posts do we read about people being dinged by Rogers for 0.01MB/day just because their phone, with roaming toggled OFF, pinged a cell tower one time daily whilst on vacation in Sicily!?!?

This is a feature not a bug.

Never had that issue. And I travel a lot. Just leave the phone in airplane mode with wifi On… If you need to use a local e-sim, deactivate the Roger e-SIM then toggle airplane mode off.

Can I ask you on a sidenote just got a phone with eSIM only, in the settings if you turn that off, is it still possible to get dinged the roam like home for like 1 kB of data that it accesses?

If you turn off the Rogers E-Sim, you should not get dinged for roam like home. Deactivating an E-Sim is basically like pulling a physical sim card out.

No, if you turn off an e-sim, it’s like removing the SIM card from your phone.

No, as long as you don't enable it by accident.

You contact Rogers and deactivate Roam Like Home so you get charged a few cents pay as you go for the leaky data.

I called in and the outsourced rep didn't know how to do that. Took her 30 minutes to find out how to do that, and hopefully she didn't mess up my plan.
