Texting in Canada
 
Just wondering if it costs more to text to other provinces. Anybody have any idea? Does my 2500 texts / month plan cover texts that are x-province?

What carrier? Most of the them doesn't charge more as long as it's within US and Canada, but i can be wrong depending on which carrier.

Rogers!

I think texts cross-province are included in your 2500 texts/month. I text my friends who have Alberta and Victoria numbers, no extra charge.

yah, thats wrong.

your 2500 or unlimited texts are across canada. Regardless where you text, its 15 cents per text message in Canada.

doesnt include States. Sending text messages to the states is considered international text message

hope that clarifies it for you. I work for fido.

Cross province texting within Canada is included in your Fido texting plan as stated from 4PPLE.
