Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, they say. After Bell introduced daily roaming caps, Telus has now done exactly the same thing, while revamping its wireless plans list.
According to changes to the Telus website spotted by iPhone in Canada, there’s now 5GB per day full speed roaming caps, with data afterwards throttled to 512 Kbps.
Here are the plans from Telus as of May 21, 2026, after autopay bank discounts:
Gone is the $95 per month unlimited data plan for use only in Canada.
While prices have not fallen, the allure of unlimited data is here, except when you’re roaming. This means if you’re tethering your roaming plan, you’ll now be capped at 5GB when it comes to full speeds.
As of writing, Rogers has not introduced caps on its roaming plans just yet, but stay tuned as we know our ‘Big 3’ telecoms sure do like to copy each other.
Your best bet still for global roaming is to get a plan from Freedom Mobile, as all plans include talk, text and data for use globally.
