I see a &10 roaming charge on my last bill.  I wasn’t in the USA but do live near the border.  I’ve received the notifications about roaming before, when in Canada, but this is the first time it’s shown on my bill.  Please reverse the charge.  Is there an account setting that will stop it from connecting to USA towers without permission?  Thanks.

Hello ​@SunsetShores 

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

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
