That is only partially correct. The actual switching from one carrier to
another, even in another country, does not cost anything.

Some carriers charge a daily fee for roaming. So the minute you "log on"
to a roaming partner, even if you do not make or receive phone calls,
you are charged a daily fee.

That is why one has to always make some research before travelling.

In Canada, there are agreements near borders where roaming fees are
waived when someone accidentally ends up on a tower on the other side of
the border.
