    Called 514 # (Quebec) on a Canada-wide plan and recording says I may be charged LD?

    Is that just standard procedure that doesn't mean anything or what? I better not be billed Canadian long distance on a Canada-wide plan! lol. When I call a Guelph number I don't get warned that the call may be long distance. Why is le Quebec any different? Did Quebec seperate from Canada recently or something? I was calling an authorized service centre for Samsung that is based in St-Laurent, QC.

    The recording doesn't take in consideration that you have a long distance plan. When it comes to billing, you won't be charged.

    It is very annoying that they don't turn that off. When I don't insert the +1 before the number called I get the same message time and again, both in English and French, although I have nation wide plan since I've been a Koodo customer. I've never been charged. But the waste of time is really annoying.

    It happens to me when I call someone back who had sent me a text message. For some reason, the leading "1" is missing from text messages, so I either have to type the number in manually or endure this pointless message.

    "Customer focused" is different, eh.

    I know. But incoming text messages don't have the 1, so if I click on "call back" I get this endless, pointless litany.
