International texting

[Bweiss]

We live in BC.  My plan says "international texting"  does this mean we can text from Hawaii?

This was the case with me.  I was in Niagra Falls and was still getting access to a Canadian tower, my entire plan continued to work as normal.

I'm sure its unofficial but I have received calls without a roaming add-on on two different occassions in the states in 2019.

Unofficially can I ask how close to the border?  I wonder if you connected to a Canadian tower as we took two phones down and only one roaming and the second phone didn't have service when we were out

Unofficially 🙂 , Hawaii and Arizona. I even somehow got a little data but then I couldn't reproduce it.

Nice I will have to pay more attention next time and definitely no Canadian tower around those places lol

No, it means you can text internationally when you are in Canada.  Anything in the US you would need to purchase a roaming package and they come in 10-day durations.
