Some plans have calls to the US included by default, but these are few and far between. Most carriers require you to either purchase a special add-on, or charge a flat long-distance rate per-minute when placing a call from Canada that lands in the US.

If you want to skip the hassle, here are some plans that don't require any extra additions, or long-distance fees, to make calls to the US.

Plans with US calls included

Videotron and Mobilicty all offer plans that have calls to the US built-in to the regular monthly minutes allocation.

Videotron

Videotron has a $74.95 plan with unlimited Canada and US-wide voice. It's a bit less-generous across its data inclusions than WIND's plan, but data is clocked at 4G, as opposed to WIND's 3G.

You get 1GB of data, as well as unlimited Canada-wide text, photo and video messages.

Mobilicity

Mobilicity has two plans with US call inclusions. Both are essentially identical, apart from a little added security in the more-pricey of the two.

The $45 "Unlimited Value" plan boasts unlimited province-wide calls, as well as Canada-Wide long distance and US long distance. North-American text and picture messaging are also included, as is 6GB of 4G-speed data, after which you're slowed down to 2G. There's even 30 minutes of north-American voice roaming thrown in, for a short trip or two across the boarder.

The $55 "Unlimited Everything" plan has the same unlimited province-wide calls, Canada-Wide long distance, and US long distance voice inclusions. Of course, the same north-America text & picture messaging support makes a comeback. Oddly, you get the same 6GB of unlimited data with this plan as you get with the cheaper $45 option. That's because the $55 plan covers phone protection for if your device is lost,damaged or stolen.
