Canada-US plan is back!!! sort of

softech — Sun, 18 Jun 2023 03:29:53 GMT

For those who missed unlimited calling to US and US data, the plan is back.. sort of. Why? cos it is available in Quebec only.

There is a $50 Canada-US plan, which include 40GB for Canada-US data at 4G speed and Unlimited Canada-US wide minutes and messaging

Of course, you will need to setup with a QC phone number to access such plan

@softech Wow nice catch , this is a straight response to freedoms same deal .

softech — Sun, 18 Jun 2023 03:38:46 GMT

@Handy1 question is .. why Quebec only

And Quebec has been getting lots of sweeter deals than the rest of Canada (pressure from Videotron). I am really surprised that the $39/30GB 90 days is not available in QC, or at least they don't have any better deal to beat that

Good point , it’s about time we all get same offering straight across the country really. All plans are national talk anyways

I saw this plan 24 hours earlier, but to me, it doesn't make any sense that this plan is only being offered in Quebec. Videtron and Freedom are now owned by the parent company and Freedom offers this same plan anywhere in all provinces that the service is available (and where Freedom isn't offered, Videtron/Fizz is offered in some of those places).

@computergeek541 I also wonder why only QC. But maybe we will see it "across Canada" soon??

Oh there it is. The other day I was checking the terms at the bottom and saw the little ++ superscript and thought well where? I couldn't see it on any plans and so wondered maybe it's coming soon. But there it is.

@Brilliance- Then Quebeckers would say it's unfair that they don't get the $39/90 plan.

It beats the heck out of the old $60 roaming plan. All the data. Not just 2gb. Hope customers that bite have volte.

Hopefully it will expand countrywide, there hasn't been a roaming plan here since 2019. It especially makes more sense to bring it back now than in years prior, travel is more common unlike the start of the 2020s and VoLTE is available so US roaming services are functional again unlike last year. And of course the fact that it's currently being offered by competition.

Chaowang — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 21:46:47 GMT

This is a roaming plan, right? It means I can have unlimit call when I am in USA, not only unlimite call to USA?

Re: Canada-US plan is back!!! sort of

softech — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 22:00:15 GMT

@Chaowang you are correct.

but you will need to activate this Quebec plan. To do so, you need to be in QC with a QC credit card

Re: Canada-US plan is back!!! sort of

Chaowang — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 22:06:35 GMT

Thanks a lot, I am in Québec! I see there are a Quebec plan for 35$ for unlimited Quebec minutes and 20G data, if I go to the other provinces, is there some add-on I can buy with change my plan?

Re: Canada-US plan is back!!! sort of

Chaowang — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 22:07:19 GMT

Sorry, I mean without changing plans.

Re: Canada-US plan is back!!! sort of

softech — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 22:09:37 GMT

@Chaowang

for the $35 plan, another member tested it and it looks like they can call other province. But text seems to be really Quebec only. But the details is not very clear. So, you can test it out and let us know 🙂

Soryr there is not Canada-wide text addon. But there is Canada-Wide calling add-on

Re: Canada-US plan is back!!! sort of

dust2dust — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 23:51:02 GMT

The customer mentioned tested TEXT, not calling. I'm not sure I remember an update on calling a number out of province. We don't yet know if it's also like the old province-wide where whatever province you're in will let you call that province.

@Chaowang- As for the roaming plan asked about, yes, it's basically a Canada/US plan. Call both, text both, use data in both while in both.

@Michael6666 , you have any luck with your text on Canada wide calling? @Chaowang is interested to know what you can do or what you can't with the $35 Quebec plan

@Chaowang this was the past from @Michael666

@softech- Oh look, it says texting. Are you for real? Texting? Calling? Beuller? Unfortunately, for texting purposes, he bought the 500 minutes add-on so he couldn't verify the calling.

Re: Canada-US plan is back!!! sort of

Michael6666 — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 00:46:36 GMT

I was able to test texting to Canada and the US. Both work both ways.

I am unable to test Canada wide calling as I have many of the gifted Canada wide minutes in my account so it would no doubt work.
