So now you’re fucking around in the settings ensuring data etc. is off on your regular Telus sim, turn it back on to get the SMS, then quickly jump back to the travel sim for the data to login to banking etc.

I’m almost certain I got charged for the momentary blip of cellular data switching over to my regular sim even though I had it disabled the entire time but didn’t feel like spending 3 hours on the phone to fight over $15
There is a solution. I was a cheapo once and used Freedom and didn't allow international text so I cant' access my bank account during covid in HK.

Solution is to get the TD authenticating app so you don't need the text...
