International Texting - Us to Canada

[jeffgraham09]

I currently am on my parents plan, Nationwide Talk & Text FS 1400, with unlimited texting, and I have been looking online but am trying to find out if Texting / Recieving messages from someone in Canada will add any additional charges to my parents bill?

You are good to go to text and receive texts from Canada. There will not be any xtra charges.

You should get one of the mods to verify but I believe texts with Canadian subscribers are deducted from the text allowance that is part of your Unlimited Text package.

My daughter texts with friends in Canada and they all show up as "domestic" and are in the unlimited column; we've never been charged extra for texts to and from Canada. Calls are another matter, but texting is considered "domestic".

From Verizon's International Texting Info page:

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