Long Distance and Roaming
International Long Distance
Calls to countries outside of Canada can be made conveniently from your wireless phone. We offer competitive international rates to over 200 countries around the world.
Please see below for current rates for internationally terminating calls made from Canada.
Roaming
We offer our customers the ability to roam on other carriers' networks when traveling outside of Canada. Calls made while roaming are not included in your monthly plan. There is now only one per minute rate for each country and region, making it easier to budget and track your roaming usage. Charges range from $1.45 to $4 per minute (plus taxes) for any type of call made or received. For example, the same rate will apply for local calls and for calls back to Canada while in your roaming destination. For your reference, here are the current per minute Roaming Rates.
Roaming usage is charged on a per minute basis and is rounded up to the next minute. All charges are billed directly to your SimplyConnect wireless account in Canadian funds. In unusual circumstances, calls may appear on your invoice up to 120 days after they were made. Rates are subject to change.
