Learn how to set up your mobile device for Easy Roam and tips to manage roaming while travelling.
Self-serve only
Please note that this is an online-only task that can easily be done using either My TELUS online or the app.
How does Easy Roam work?
With Easy Roam, you can use your phone like you do at home in the US and over 200 international destinations. For a daily fee you can use the data, texts and minutes from the same monthly rate plan you use at home when you travel. You can add a data top-up whenever you need more data just like when you’re in Canada.
Data usage does not apply when using Wi-Fi or if data roaming is turned off.
Note
: The Easy Roam fee applies to each device that is roaming, so you must ensure each device on your account has it enabled.

Do I need to do anything to activate Easy Roam when I travel?
Once enabled on your device, the Easy Roam daily rate will be valid each calendar day that you decide to make or answer a call, send a text or use data until 11:59pm in the time zone you are travelling in or one of the 200+ international destinations that are included.
If you don’t want to use Easy Roam on the next day, turn data roaming off to ensure you won’t be charged. Incoming texts will not activate Easy Roam, so you can receive texts without being charged the Easy Roam fee.
There’s no need to remove Easy Roam from your account when you return to Canada since it can only be activated when you travel.
Will I be charged for Easy Roam every day I travel?
With Easy Roam, you only pay for the days that you choose to use your phone. The Easy Roam daily rate will be valid each calendar day that you decide to make or answer a call, send a text or use data until 11:59pm in the time zone you are travelling in. You will not be charged on any days that you refrain from doing any of these actions and turn data roaming off before 11:59pm in the time zone you are travelling in. Should you wish to continue to roam past this time, you will incur another daily fee of $14 (U.S.) or $16 (international).
Incoming texts will not activate Easy Roam, so you can receive texts without being charged the Easy Roam fee. Also, using data over Wi-Fi when data roaming is turned off will not activate the Easy Roam fee.
What numbers can I call and text with Easy Roam?
Making phone calls with Easy Roam
All calls to phone numbers in Canada and within the country you are calling from are included. Phone calls to numbers outside Canada and the country you are calling from will be subject to the roaming pay-per-use rate for the country you are calling from.
So this means that if you’re in the US, you can call any Canadian phone number nationwide or any US phone number nationwide. However, if you call a phone number in the United Kingdom while in the US then you will be charged the roaming pay-per-use rate for calls in the US. Search your travel destination at
to confirm the applicable roaming pay-per-use rates.
The same goes for North American toll-free numbers (1-800, 844, 855, 877 and 888), as you can only call these numbers while located in North America. If you connect these calls from outside North America the roaming pay-per-use for the location you’re calling from will apply.
Additionally, calls to 411, 511, Sanger, California (559-726-XXXX) Carroll, Iowa (712-775-XXXX) Lake Park, Iowa (712-432-XXXX) Oglala, South Dakota (605-562-XXXX) Redfield and South Dakota (605-475-XXXX) are not included and will also be charged the roaming pay-per-use rate.
Any of these calls that are not included in Easy Roam will not activate the Easy Roam fee.
Sending texts with Easy Roam
All incoming and outgoing texts to any phone number in the world are included. So you can text any mobile phone number across the world while roaming in an Easy Roam destination, as long as it's not a premium or subscription-based phone number.
Incoming texts will not activate Easy Roam, so you can receive texts without being charged the Easy Roam fee.
Picture & video messaging, including iMessage use data and not text messages.
For information on how to make calls and send texts while travelling, see the support article:
How does Easy Roam work with a local calling plan?
Easy Roam allows you to make calls to any Canadian phone number nationwide while travelling in an included destination. You can also make calls nationwide to numbers within the Easy Roam destination you are currently located in. This still applies even if you have a local calling voice plan that you use at home.
US or international long-distance calling add-ons
This information applies if you have a US or international long-distance calling add-on, such as the LD saver or one of our other
At this time, Easy Roam does not work with long-distance calling add-ons. This means that if you have a US or international long-distance add-on, calling phone numbers outside Canada or the destination you are currently located in is still not included in Easy Roam. So these calls will still be subject to the standard roaming pay-per-use rate.
What destinations are included in Easy Roam?
Easy Roam covers the US and over 200 international destinations. For a list of destinations included in Easy Roam, visit
and search your travel destination to confirm if its covered.
Travelling to multiple destinations with Easy Roam
If you’re travelling to multiple destinations on your trip, you still only pay one $14 and/or $16 Easy Roam fee if you use your device (that is make/receive a call, send a text or use data) until 11:59pm in the time zone you are travelling in.
Example
:
You spend the day in the USA and begin using Easy Roam for $14 at 9:00am EST in Florida
By 4:00pm EST on that same day you enter the Port in Nassau, Bahamas and begin using Easy Roam for $16
Another $16 fee would apply if you continue using your device past 11:59pm in the time zone you are travelling in (the Bahamas)
Note
: Easy Roam does not cover you on cruise ships or in-flight. Usage while out at sea on cruise ships or in-flight will always be charged at $0.75 per text, $7 per minute and data usage will be blocked.

How do I remove Easy Roam?
There’s no need to remove Easy Roam from your account when you return to Canada since the daily fee can only be activated when you travel. Easy Roam is designed to stay enabled on your device so you’re always ready to travel and be protected against unexpected pay-per-use charges.
If you’re close to the US border, you can turn data roaming off in your device settings to avoid unexpected data charges. For additional information about how to avoid roaming charges while close to the US border, view the support article:
