Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne has asked the federal telecommunications regulator to look into wireless roaming fees, saying he’s concerned about companies hiking their rates while phone bills in other jurisdictions are generally declining.
“This is part of a concerning trend to charge more for existing services broadly at a time when inflationary pressures are making it difficult for Canadians to pay their bills,” the minister wrote. Bell users face a daily $13 charge to roam in the U.S., up from $12, and $16 in other countries, up from $15. Rogers, which has not announced a similar hike recently, charges $12 and $15 for daily U.S. and international roaming, respectively.
“Over a four-year period you’re talking about close to a 50 per cent or higher increase,” said Wall, whose company publishes an annual report comparing Canadian phone and internet prices with those of other countries.“For anybody that does international travel that doesn’t have a plan that encompasses long distance calling between the U.S. and Canada, that’s a big hit.”
