If you are texting to Canada the text messages will be free. Each message that is received while in Canada will be 5 cents per message. Each text message that is sent while in Canada will be .50 cents per message. Hope this helps!

Are you positive about that? I found this info,

 

 

While traveling in the U.S.,Canada, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico text messages sent to non-U.S. phone numbers of participating carriers will not be applied against any monthly text messaging allowance and are charged the following:

  • $0.25/address sent
  • $0.20/message received

Text messages sent to phone numbers in Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico are charged domestic rates per your plan.

 

Worst case without a texting plan, the cost is 25c.

 

FYI when I was in the US Virgin Islands, I was not charged anything extra for texting, data or phone. I would think with the current PRL Verizon would be roaming off of Sprint.
