Hi there,

Any add-on plan that supports calling from the US to Canada?

Thanks

Just to piggyback @wetcoaster and @xCameron94x, you can also use Facebook Messenger to make calls over Data. Quality is good and basically everyone has facebook, you just need the US Roaming add-on, or even more ideally, just use your hotel wifi. This is how I called my wife while in NYC recently.

Im with @wetcoaster, you can buy a data add on, and use google hangouts to make phone calls, calls in Canada & US are free.

It is true that you cannot stack US roaming add ons, but you can stack the add ons for the various data amounts (1 of each)

$8 for 200 mins and $15 for 400 mins (includes international). Any unused minutes will roll over to your next cycle.

Best of luck
@passiveegg
those long distance add-ons are used when you call FROM Canada to destinations outside your home province or in the US.

@itayse10
Depending on how long you are going and how much you are calling to Canada, you can buy one of the US roaming add-ons. I personally would buy a US roaming data-on (or use WiFi or opt for a local data option) and use a VOIP app like Fongo etc.

If you go the roaming add-on route, just a reminder that your 10 days start immideately on activation and the day you activate on is day one of your term. Also, US roaming add-ons can not be stacked, if you want to buy the exact same add-on again you can only do so on day 11, after the first one has expired.

And, buying an add-on is a two step process. First step adds funds to your account, then you have to choose the add-on again in order to activate it.

Calling from US to Canada is considred US Roaming.

The US Roaming section of the plan ADD-ON plans shows you all available options you can purchase.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for you reply,

What I've seen in an older post is that the US-Canada calls are only valid when calling from Canada to the US. I'm checking if anything has changed regarding this (and you can also call from US to Canada)
