What do Canada-wide minutes really mean?

If you're on a Canada-wide plan, you can call anywhere in Canada from anywhere in Canada without paying long distance rates! With our great Canada-wide plans, every call you make within Canada covers you from coast to coast at no additional charge.

You don't control where a call comes from.  A call is call. Doesn't matter from where. You do need long distance add-on to call U.S. number back or plan that includes. Google Hangouts can do it free.

No charges for calls from US never overcharged with public mobile...And yes you will need an add-on if you want to speak with them..you can have one for 8$ for 200 minutes.

My plan has unlimited Canada-wide minutes, and no add-ons.  If someone trying to sell me something makes an unwanted call from the United States, will their call be blocked?

No. All calls from the planet will come to you. Unless *you* block them.
