Rogers did that to me once.  I asked them specifically before a trip to 
Jamaica whether my voicemail would work.  "Yes yes they said.  No 
problem".  About a day after I arrived in Jamaica I was suspicious about 
a lack of voicemail messages so I had a business associate call me and try 
to leave a message.  Guess what - voicemail was broken!  I called Rogers 
and they charged me international rates while I was waiting on hold (they 
were looking in to the problem).

They refunded the money after receiving an irate call from me when the 
bill arrived :)
