US Long Distance rate

I am on the $25 plan with unlimited Canada talk. If I have an incoming/outgoing long-distance US call, how much does that cost?

Incoming calls from anywhere are free for you. To call the USA you have to purchase an add-on in your account.

200 minutes for $8

400 minutes for $15.

These add-ons rollover each 30 days till all used up

To purchase add-ons it is a two step process. Guide on link below

People tend to confuse the long distance and roaming add-ons. Roaming add-ons only work while you are in the U.S. Long distance add-ons only work while you're in Canada, so be sure to purcahse the correct package. Also, please note that the $5/500 long distance add-on cannot be used to call the U.S.

Another option to call the U.S., if you find that you need either more data or need quite a bit of minutes for long distance to the U.S., would be to change to the $50 plan.

Personally, I would just use Hangouts if I needed to make the occassional phone call to the U.S. That would be free (internet connection required).
