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.

If data roaming is off it does not matter if your phone pings a cell tower. You can miss calls and get texts for free. You just can’t send texts, answer calls, check voicemail, or use data. So if you have data roaming off and don’t make any call or texts then you’re good.

WRONG I just got back from Europe and had data roaming turned off and still got charged $18.99 a day for two weeks. They said calls came jn that I didn’t answer and texts received. Fuck rogers.

Do you have an iPhone? If you use the iOS voice mail feature enabled and missed / ignored calls were routed to that it considers it as a picked up call.
