If you are 'home' and call a long distance number, there are long distance charges.

If you live in BC and fly to ontario, and call an ontario number while you are in ontario, there are long distance charges, but if you call BC, no long distance charges.

I'm not sure how it works if you are in ontario and someone calls you. Are there 'roaming' charges?

I know it covers both victoria and GVR which one of the advantage of taking a 778 number over say 604 as it is local calls for both victoria and GVR. Not sure about Parkville but very likely the same situation.

oh and data is canada wide, i used it in toronto before.

My number has a 778 Vancovuer area code. WIll I be paying LD charges on voice and UMB usage?
