I was charged $42 roaming fee for April 22-24. We were camping outside Sooke, BC and were told that there is now a tower in that area that we could use for service. This apparently is not true and my phone picked up U.S. roaming. We never left Canada so please credit $42 plus taxes.

thank you, Linda

Hello ​@ljsmwestcoast 

Sometimes the device is going to catch the network on the other side.

It's a world-wide situation, since the device settings are set to automatically search for the strongest signal.

You can change that in the settings of the device and set it to Manual Network Selection, after it's done searching, you select Koodo and it stays connected to Koodo, even near the border.

I would also advise to keep Data Roaming off while in Canada. This will avoid any accidental charges. We have a great help page here: https://community.koodomobile.com/plans-services-232910/easy-roam-understanding-how-you-will-be-charged-while-traveling-7811296

 

We verified the days with the charge and confirmed accidental roaming. A credit was applied for the fees and will update within 3-5 minutes in the Self Serve account.
