@makkahn28,

Fongo offer SMS packages to Canada or Canada/USA for a small fees per month.

The interface is not very nice but it is the only application that provides 100% reliable text messages.

I use Fongo for VOIP, its free, you get a free canadian number, quality is good, and its especially useful when Im out of the country for calling home.

TIKL is not that bad, mainly an Walkie Talkie type App, but still, a list so ppl who don't have enough experience can have something to choose from

I know that there are NO alternatives to a Carrier text, per se, BUT, if Text Fails, Always a Back-Up Plan, Regardless if its Text or Talk

There are no great alternatives to PM texting. Some are just more adequate than others; all I've seen have some limitation compared to PM International text plan. Will all depend on what features you are willing to give up. Try fongo.com if you want a Canadian company.

BTW: do you have ANY idea of features you really want in a phone or a cellular provider????
