Free Calls Between Canada and the US

Over the internet, a Canada-to-US call has no per-minute charge. Many carrier plans also include cross-border calling, but not all of them.

Check your plan first

Many Canadian plans include calls to the US, but older, prepaid or budget plans may not. Check the details before assuming.

Internet calling

If both people have an internet connection, a browser call avoids carrier charges and only uses data. It helps when one side has no cross-border plan.

Travel

Roaming rules change when you cross the border. Using Wi-Fi for calls avoids surprises on your bill.

Common questions

Are texts and calls priced the same?

Not always. Check your plan for each.

Will roaming charge me?

Possibly. Using Wi-Fi avoids it.

Can I call a US landline?

Not with browser-to-browser calling.
