roaming plans

Koodo has increased the cost of its roaming plans.

As first reported by iPhone in Canada, the U.S. roaming plan increased from $11 a day to $12. The international plan has increased from $14 a day to $15.

Koodo caps the cost of Easy Roam U.S. at $240 per billing cycle and Easy Roam International at $300 per cycle. This means users can continue to use their phone plans without any additional fees.

The Telus flanker brand is following similar price increases as Bell, which will be increasing the cost of its international roaming plan to $15 a day, up from $14. The change will come into effect on May 12th. Bell isn’t increasing the daily cost of its U.S. roaming plan.

Companies are increasing the prices of roaming plans as travel restrictions brought on by COVID continue to ease. It won’t be surprising if other telecom companies follow suit.

Bell is increasing the cost of its international roaming plan by $1.

The plan covers over 200 destinations in Europe, the Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, Mexico, Central and South America, Asia, Oceania, Africa and the Middle East.

The change will take effect May 12 and applies to both the home data and 500MB option. The cost will increase from $14 a day to $15.

The U.S. plan will not see an increase, and still includes coverage in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Island and costs $10 a day,

Both roaming plans include unlimited outgoing calls from roaming destinations to Canada, incoming calls, and texts.

MobileSyrup has asked Bell why it’s increasing the cost of the international roaming plan and will provide an update once available.

This isn’t the only wireless plan Bell has upped the cost for. Earlier this month, it increased the cost of its 45GB plan from $90 a month to $95.
