    I just got a cell phone with service provided by Rogers. I live in New Brunswick and will be traveling to another part of the province later this week that is outside of my local calling area. I don't know much about cell phones yet but it seems to me that if someone calls me while I'm away on my phone, I'll be charged a good amount of money just for answering it. So, my question is two-fold:

    1. How much will I get charged per minute to receive or make phone calls while I'm away?

    2. Is there any way that I can minimize these charges with roaming numbers or something like that?

    Most of the calls that I will be receiving and making are to people who will also be at the conference with me.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated and the sooner the better!

    UNLIMITED CALLS IN CANADA COAST TO COAST*How it works?1. Apply unlimited incoming + MY5 (National Wild) plan*
    $25+$10
    2. Apply unlimited Canada long distance service from other provider (about $5/month)
    3. Put the long distance access number in your MY5.
    4. If you want to make a out going call, call the access number 1st. then enter the destination number followed by the # key.

    Now, all your outgoing calls to any Canadian city is free!! (as long as you are in Canada)

    If you are Rogers customer, you can install a Autodialer Chip to make calls more easy.

    Once a Autodialer chip is installed, you can dial directly the destination number . You can also choice number from call list or from contacts and dial out.

    I do have the $25 MY5 plan but they won't let you add 1-800 numbers or anything like that as one of your MY5 numbers. So, I don't see how all your outgoing calls are free. And that really doesn't help you with incoming calls. You would still be charged for those.

    Just to let everyone know, I was speaking to Rogers a moment ago and they let me know that when you receive a call outside of your local area from someone on your MY5 list, you aren't charged any long distance.

    So, what we did was add the $6 35 minutes of long distance to our $25 plan. That way we can both receive and make calls while we are away. (It was more the incoming that I was worried about. I can also hop over to a payphone to make calls.)

    Find a local long distance service access number ( no 18xx ), and put it in your MY5, that is how you can save money.
