Using Telus HSPA Devices in the USA

[DaveInVan]

For those of you who've taken your Telus HSPA devices to the US in the past few months, can you confirm whether you're charged $1.45 each for calls you didn't answer? I was charged for all my unanswered calls in the US last November right after the HSPA launch but I haven't tried since then.

Can anyone confirm this?

My hope is that they've changed it, that's why I'd like to hear from someone who's been to the US lately and what their next bill said.

I called Telus when I got my bill and they told me that I'm roaming onto ATT in the US now that i'm not on CDMA anymore, and that ATT charges simply for directing the call to my phone, even if I don't answer.

Telus was fine about it though, they credited me back all the charges but said next time I go to the US i have to turn my phone off or pay for unanswered calls.
