New York to Canada around the niagara falls area (verizon)

You should get charged Long distance to Canada, and if you picked up a Canadian tower you can get charged roaming fees.

If you call people in Canada on a regular basis, you would be better off getting the North America Calling choice plan.

These plans are for "Domestic" calling only.

Canada is outside the US and not considered Domestic calling, so unless the people/person you are calling is on a Verizon phone & Tower, it would be long distance calling and this includes using your anytime minutes for the calls.

 

No, you have to check and make sure your plan is. You can be in Canada & roam on a Canadian CDMA carrier & get charged roaming, just because your in Canada doesn't mean your phone won't roam on one of their carriers.

 

When I went to Niagara falls a few weeks ago, even though i was on the US side, my phone managed to pick up the canadian cell service (rogers), had i used my phone with the canadian service, i would have had to pay roaming charges. From what it seems, u have no roaming and no long distance charges across the US. If you make a call to canada, you get charged, if you make a call from canada you get charged. Hope that helps.

 

Did you happen to check the Link I provided you earlier in the thread?
There is a link on the site with a map of the coverage area.

 

This applies to the America's Choice plan:

1) You can call any US telephone number and you will not incur any long distance charges as long as you are located inside the US and receiving a wireless signal from the Verizon network or any of its US roaming partners (Alltel, etc.). The same will happen if you are at the Canadian border but your phone is receiving a signal from the Verizon network or any of its US roaming partners.

2) If you call ANY Canadian telephone number and you are located inside the US and receiving a wireless signal from the Verizon network or any of its US roaming partners (Alltel, etc.), you WILL be charged Long Distance. The same will happen if you are at the Canadian border but your phone is receiving a signal from the Verizon network or any of its US roaming partners.

3) If you are physically located in Canada and your phone is receiving a signal from a Canadian provider you will be charged Roaming for making or receiving any calls, regardless of destination. You will also incur long distance charges depending on the destination of the call. The same will happen if you are at the US border but your phone is receiving a signal from a Canadian wireless provider.

 

By the looks of the map & what it say's here from the Verizon Web Site, Yes. But maybe you should call Verizon to confirm this at the # posted here.

 

"NORTH America's Choice & "America's" Choice are 2 different plans ...
NORTh Am gives you free/included to/from Canada & Mexico, While regular America's Choice is USA only .....

Calls to and from Canada are charged more than a domestic call. I don't know if Verizon still offers the North American Choice plan.

I've used Verizon phones in Canada, including on their older prepay plan, and was able to make and receive calls, including receiving voicemail notifications while traveling in Montreal.

 

It seems from their web site that they are still offering this plan, which is good for those that travel to Canada or Mexico often.
