To get the reduced sales tax, you would need to change your phone number to an Alberta number. Which data promotion are you asking about?

@christy817

are you still using an Ontario phone number? tax rate are based on the "location" of the phone number, area code. So, if you are still using a phone number with a Ontario area code, you will get charged with Ontario tax rate

However, there is a workarorund to save the tax. Get a voucher from store in your area. For voucher, it is taxed based on the tax in your province. Then you can load your voucher using *611 or My Account. it is a bit of work, but probably worth it

Your tax rate you pay depends on which province you have a phone number, set up in. It doesn't matter where you live.
