As long as you don't reply to the text or answer the call, you won't be charged roaming (or at least I wasn't on Koodo).
That's also useful if you need to receive 2FA messages to log in to things while you're travelling.
Also, if your phone is inactive, won't the undelivered text messages just sit and wait until your SIM becomes active again? It's like when your plane lands, and everyone switches their phones out of airplane mode and you suddenly hear a bunch of text notifications all over the plane.

For longer trips, the incoming texts are lost, and people say they received delivery errors. This is my experience with anything 1 week or more when using other SIMs. Maybe it’s a third-party Rogers reseller issue with how long text messages live on the network.
