International texting on monthly plans
Almost all providers include "free" international texting in their monthly plans. I've tested Rogers, Shaw, and even Koodo, owned by plus, and all had this included, at least before I switched to Telus.
I am paying premium fees and expecting to get premium features, and international texting is kind of a basic feature. Prepaid plans from Telus have this but are charging less! What is happening here? I'm confused.

International texting is not generally included on most post-paid plans on Rogers, Bell or Telus and they're not advertised as having this feature.
They have recently started to include them in high end plans, however it's still the exception not the norm.
There is a (paid) international text feature that can be added to most plans if this is something that you use frequently.
Of the flanker brands, some are starting to offer plans which offer a choice of international texting or another perk.
- I had the feature on Koodo, Shaw, and Rogers in the past 3 years!
If I recall, last time I'd looked at the plans, 5G+ plans had included "unlimited international messaging".
- No, they don't! Paying $85+ monthly and getting charged 40 cents for each text is funny!
