1.Is a text message to any area code in the USA and Canada 10 cents?
2. Would this be true when texting from outside your home area code?
3. I believe a long distance call is any call to another area code (with the large metro exceptions) no matter where you are calling from. Correct?
4. The rate in #3 is 20 cents /minute in addition to the regular 25 cents?
thanks

Incoming messages from anywhere are free.
Outgoing messages to Canada are 10 cents each.
Outgoing messages to the United States are 10 cents each.
Outgoing messages outside of Canada and the US are 25 cents each.
You can send a text message anywhere in Canada for the same rate.
Making a call outside your area code costs 45 cents if 20 cents is the correct LD rate. If you receive a call when anywhere in Canada, you are charged 25 cents a minute, no LD charge for incoming calls.

1. Yes, 10 cents.
2. 10 cents is the rate for outgoing text messages, no matter where you are in Canada.
3. It is usually a long distance call when outside your home area. For instance, if your phone is based in Toronto, and you go to Vancouver, if you make a local call to while in Vancouver, you will be deducted the long distance rate, because your phone is based in Toronto.
However, if you call back to Toronto while in Vancouver, it will be deducted as a local call. That is my experience, and also was confirmed by a few reps at SpeakOut.
4. Yes, that is the long distance rate.

Only if you are near a Canadian Tower. No US Tower will work.

If I read this right there is no LD charges between Toronto(416) and Niagara Falls (905).
Am I reading this right?
Any feedback apreciated.
From Front Page:
Note that Speak Out Wireless is unique in that calls within your area code are all local (even if you have an area code that is split across a large distance), in addition to some normal cross-area codes that would be considered local. For example:
604 can call 604 & 778 locally
250 can call 250 & 778 locally
778 can call all of BC locally: 778, 250 & 604
416/647, 905/289, 519/226 are all local to each other
