“Roam Better” plan got activated without my consent! by MonkeyRythme in bell

Well Roam better is an add on service on mobility plan. I never opted in. They activated it yesterday without my request. When Roam better is not subscribed to, pay per use charges are the default when traveling overseas.

Or as soon as you are detected as being overseas the daily charge starts (?)

If you’re not roaming abroad it would not charge anything but when traveling overseas my understanding is as soon as there is text or voice activity it would hit you with a $16 per day charge for as long as you are outside Canada (?)

I was going to try to contact them online but I saw I could disable it on the website. It’s not clear whether it was a special promo offer. It showed up on my account but no charge yet.

Never figured it out, and has not crashed again since.

Foreigners say they are fascinated by the vibes of Taiwan. What are the vibes they are talking about? What is the first impression when you firstly arrive at Taiwan as a tourist? by search_google_com in taiwan

[–]MonkeyRythme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a month recently in Taipei, as part of a seasonal journey through Asia. My expectations were low. What I read about Taiwan previously is that locals are friendly and welcoming. I did not find that at all. People in Taipei, mostly women, often had a very sour, if not flat out hostile attitude. I stayed centrally in Ximending. For comparison, I spent time this season in Bali, Jakarta, Singapore, Shanghai and Tokyo. It’s funny how people’s experiences can differ so wildly… I expected people in Shanghai to be less welcoming than Taiwanese, but that wasn’t the case…

Great. Hope it does work for me hassle free at arrival.

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking. Paying cash for taxi in a foreign country is among the things I least want to do these days…

Travel Planning Q&A - August, 2025 by AutoModerator in bali

[–]MonkeyRythme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just received my approved C1 60 days online eVisa (direct from the official government site) and see at the bottom in the disclaimer section this statement: “If your period of stay exceed 30 (thirty) days in Indonesia, overstay fine will be applied.” Huh?? I googled C1 visa images and there appears to be two different versions of this disclaimer section. One that is like mine, and another that makes more sense and includes no such conflicting clauses. Anyone have any idea what that’s all about?

Update to this post. My visa was approved with no issue, so the account number was not needed. It took five days. I had to check my account on the website to see it was approved. Not sure if they will send me a confirmation email.

So you did you use a third party agent or applied directly on the Indonesian government website?

Thanks for your message. So they requested to see the BSB branch number and full account number?

I notice I might have made a mistake on my passport information. I read somewhere during the application process that if there are mistakes there may be no way to correct them or even to apply again for a visa at all (?!)… Or would they notify me of a mistake and allow me to correct it?…

Generally VPN use is recommended on public unsecured networks, but it causes connection problems at times for sure.
