Looks like monthly plans now (if you activated or changed your plan in the last few weeks) include "Free incoming roaming SMS" but there's no description available as to what it is. Did Koodo (I don't see it on TELUS) finally decide not to charge for Incoming SMS while roaming in other countries?

Actually it is for texts received only in the USA; when clients are Roaming in different countries, still 0.60$/sms fee applies for incoming or outgoing text messages...
The fact they're making it so you have to be a new customer or change your plan to one of the new plans to get this is quite horrible of Koodo, IMO. This is the first company I have ever heard to get rid of the fee by making it part of a plan, thus making you change yours to take advantage of it. I'm quite disappointed by Koodo
While still an improvement for koodo new customers, old ones would be pretty disappointed
I wonder why Yannick hasn't jumped into this topic and replied yet.
It's just like any other plan koodo offers. You keep it until you want to get rid of it. Koodo won't force you to change but they may offer incentives to do so. My wife got a text that her out of market plan will be getting the feature on August 28. I suspect a lot of other grandfathered plans may get it as well. I guess users will need to weigh their options and decide if it's a feature worth changing plans for. I won't be switching, but I may not have to (I haven't received the text yet). On another point. Yannick, or any other employees, usually won't step in unless there is a point that we're all confused on or someone has given misinformation. Since that hasn't happened, I wouldn't expect an official response.
It looks like Koodo is actually indeed giving this to all customers
Some clarity would be nice. What time frame for the 100 texts? Per day or is it per 100, unlimited time? What time frame for the 20mb? Again, is this per day?? Also note, that if I send one text, it will be $5. If its per day, this could cost far more than it does today if you only send one or two texts per day. The incoming is a welcome change, since Koodo was the only hold out and offers no way to disable just SMS.
