I get 500 minutes a month anywhere in Canada on my cell phone. My
landline is good for anywhere in Canads and IIRC 300 minutes to the US.
I am not a telephone chatter so I will never have to worry about going

The only long distance calls I make regularly are to my son. He lived in
Toronto for a few years and he never bothered to change his number when
he moved back this way.
