TELECOM provides you with the tools you need to manage your spending. All plans include roaming notifications and data caps. Roaming notifications are sent by SMS when the phone enters roaming territory. The data cap for each device on the account is set at $50 of additional charges for data use in Canada and $100 of additional charges for international data roaming. If you have added Easy Roam to the rate plan, data usage in the U.S. counts on that rate plan as data use in Canada and not international data roaming. Each month, TELECOM will send an SMS message to each device that has reached the spending cap. The user can then continue to use data by replying to the SMS to accept additional charges. The additional charges will be calculated using the pay per use rates that apply to the user’s rate plan and service options. For international data roaming, usage contributing towards the cap starts once the data included in any roaming package you have purchased, not including renewals, has been used
