| Text messaging to the States
I called up Rogers for some text messaging rates from Canada to the States.
They told me:
$10 for 20 MSGS
$20 for 50 MSGS
My friend who is on the Fido network told me that he pays $5 and got 10 MSGS, wtf?
Also, is there any alternative route to messaging someone in the States?

bapssystupr3m3, could it be that they quoted me from US to Canada which why the numbers they gave are ridiculously high?

Well its two different things..the pay per use cost from can-us is 25cents..when ur in the states its 75 cents
Not so sure for rogers or the packages for it when ur in the states tho
But those prices seem its for roaming text when ur outside canada rather than long distance text while ur in canada
