Question for Canadians, and any cell phone users

We Canadians pay thru the nose for cell phone service. There are no free long distance plans here.

OOOHHHHHH......hmmm....once again, chalk it up to an American taking something for granted. Thanks for that information! I think that many of our land line services also provide "free" LD these days.

I pay an extra $20 per month for my land line to have UNLIMITED long distance. This way I can talk to my mom every night and it doesn't cost as much as it could.

My husband and I THOUGHT we had service including Canada. Turns out, we don't. We travelled to Canada a couple of months ago and found if we are IN Canada and calling out, it's a steep charge.

I have a cell phone plan that allows me to call 5 specific numbers unlimited in North America, but no long distance plan for regular calls.

I once had a long distance plan added to my cell phone plan that allowed me to call long distance for $0.05/minute, I think it was like $10/month, but that was a long time ago. Right now I do not have any long distance plan on my cell phone.

No free LD for me on my cell (or on my landline either!).

I have pretty generous texting on my plan...is that like email? I wonder if I would pay for texting to the USA?

I'm on the same plan... Its great for me as I only call 3 people & 2 of them are LD. Everyone else I chat with online.

Oh Skype is free

"FREE LD" does NOT always mean "Free to Canada"!!

Both my local landline telco (Century) and cell carrier (Verizon/Alltel)
charge EXTRA for calls to Canada.
