If your phone rings, you don't answer it, it goes to voicemail and leaves you a 5 minute voicemail, you will be charged 5 minutes of roaming talk time (or so Fido's told me a few times). You're better off going into airplane mode. There's no downside, you can still use WiFi in airplane mode, and your battery will last longer since the radio is off.
