I made a long distance phone call inside my province and was alerted I may have long distance charges? Canada wide calling on my plan should cover this? Also can I text Canada wide as well. Thanks

Just ignore that message...you'll never be billed later.

With PM if you don't prepay for something...you won't be billed later.

All current plans have unlimited texting. There are no long distance charges. Try putting a 1 in front of the number.

Dial 1 in front of your phone number will get rid of the warning message.

Text message is always Canada wide.

PM is prepaid service and does not have pay-per-use charge. Therefore, if PM connects your call, there is no extra charge.

You can send / receive texts from anywhere on the planet...not just Canada.

EDIT...yes...assuming you're in Canada, you can send / receive texts from anywhere.

Thanks @Anonymous
