Telus Mobility is simplifying international roaming rates as of November 5, 2009.  The new rates for text messaging and calls outside of North America only apply to select smartphone models (Moto A840, HTC Touch Pro 2, HTC Snap, BlackBerry 8830, BlackBerry Storm, BlackBerry Tour).

Text Messaging
outgoing messages: $0.60/message (no change)
incoming messages: $0.60/message (was $0.35/message)

Calls Outside of North America
The number of calling zones have been reduced from five to three.  Also flat per minute rates have been introduced for each zone, before there was different rates for “incoming calls”, “in-country calls”, and “calls to US/Canada”.

Western Europe: $2.00/minute
Eurasia, Middle East, Oceania, Caribbean, & Latin America: $3.00/minute
Africa: $4.00/minute
