Does unlimited text include other countries?

I have unlimited texting, but I was wondering if I could text to other countries (specifically Canada) without paying for it? I looked over the International Text Messages web page, and it didn't specify what the rates are if you have unlimited texting (or even if it's the same).

I also tried calling customer service, and I didn't even talk to a real person because the menus didn't mention anything about this so I could get answers 😕

Thanks in advance!

ANYTHING out of country except for Puerto Rico is International text, and a fee will be charged to your account.

since you mentioned Canada SPECIFICALLY, I can tell you that you should be covered.  Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, are currently the only international locations that you can message to/from without incurring additional charges (unless you go over your text allowance).

 

the easiest way to test it would be to message someone a few times, then check your bill.  If there are no charges, then you should understand that to mean that you're covered.

While traveling in the U.S.,Canada, Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico text messages sent to non-U.S. phone numbers of participating carriers will not be applied against any monthly text messaging allowance and are charged the following:

 

  • $0.25/address sent
  • $0.20/message received

Text messages sent to phone numbers in Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico are charged domestic rates per your plan.
