The current rate per text messaging when you are outside of Canada (using another cellular network) is $0.60 per message (incoming/outgoing). As of July 7, 2009, that rate will now be $0.75 per message (incoming/outgoing).

If you have an international or USA text message plans, it matters not, because those text message packages only cover messages that you send from within Canada to outside of Canada destinations.

Are you going traveling this year outside of Canada? Are you planning on doing a lot of text messaging?

    the best way to travel in the states with an Iphone is to download the Skype app then when you get in the states put your phone on airplane mode, you are still able to connect to wireless networks (most hotels have free WiFi) once connected just use Skype stay connected with family and friend for free
