That would be a great question to ask customer service.

But going to T-mobile online will get you the answer as well.

Here is the current list of countries you can send and receive text from and the cost.

What texting will cost you from T-Mobile, to someone out of the USA. <----click there

yes you will be charge, sending a text to Canada is counting as an international text, will cost you 20cents/text.

even if they have a prepaid cell? I'm just wondering because it's not showing up on my bill

Does not matter what they have, when you send or receive a text message, if you do not have a text plan, you get charged for it per txt message. If you have a text plan, it should come out of your pool of texts.

Example if your plan had say only 10 txt messages, and your sent 10 already, with txt # 11, you would be charged for the one to Canada.

If your txt plan had 1000 text messages, and you were on say txt # 300, then that text to Canada should not cost anything, unless for some reason your plan did not cover texting outside of the US.

In any case, call customer support, and ask them about your account and how the text plan you currently have charges for texts sent and received to and from Canada. Better to know now, than to be shocked when the bill comes after texting back and forth all month, and faced with a bill you really don't want to pay.

Yep u get charged...but thing is I did not get charged if i send to europe so it's kinda weird lol
