I know my phone has a setting to roam to the best available carrier. Living near the border I have to choose Telus only or face charges as the phone will roam, seeking the best signal. People on Galiano Island have roamed and faced charges while they are in Canada.
I am guessing your phone is locked to Telus which may have border affiliates (as it did in the past) as far as Bellingham. We actually had no roaming charges back in the dark ages of cell phones for about 50 miles either side of border. Things change as the bean counters point out extra profits.
Look on your phone at the roam settings.
