Messaging charges explained

Most TELUS rate plans already include “Unlimited text & picture messaging”. These plans allow you to send unlimited text, picture and video messages while you are in Canada to other Canadian numbers. This is irrespective of whether the recipients are in Canada or international.

Here's an example. If you have a Toronto phone number but you are in Vancouver. Your friend has a Quebec phone number but is in Paris, France. It will not cost you to text your friend.
