Are there any carriers which allow, without extra surcharge, texting to canada?
My best friend lives in Windsor (approx 5 min north of Detroit) and...she can text me all she wants, but I cannot text her.
Any plans? In the northwest US?
Thanks!

T-Mobile doesn't surcharge. Check the carrier websites to see if that applies for other carriers.
Alternatively, get your best friend a prepaid T-Mobile phone. She can text at normal T-Mobile rates, although using the phone for talking will be expensive in Canada (69 cents/min).
Incidentally, Windsor is south of Detroit. Check a map! It's a weird geographical anomaly.Rogers (GSM 850/1900) +1 306
Virgin Mobile Canada (CDMA 800/1900) +1 306
Fido (GSM 850/1900) +1 416
TMobile ToGo US (GSM 1900) +1 323
PagePlus (CDMA 800/1900) +1 727
PagePlus (analog 800) +1 323 (bag phone )
O2 UK (GSM 900/1800) +44 7857

Re: Texting Canada from the US
I used to live in Canada and moved to the US. I found this application--Chime that registers you a number for free and lets you send free texts to and from Canada. i bleieve the website is Chime Now (can also get it on your iphone )
