    There will be international rates for texty messages... But since data doesn't work that way, if you both have a BB then BBM messages are "free" as long as you have unlimited data plans...

    If she doesn't have a data plan, or a blackberry, but you do, you could also try email-to-texting. You would essentially use your push email to text her, and she would send texts back to your push email.

    I do it in the states because I don't have unlimited texting, but she does, and I have unlimited data, and she doesn't. It works out great, and doesn't cost us anything extra.

    A quick google search will tell you how to do it. Essentially, for say at&t, you would email her number@att.net, and when she responds it would go to your email. If she initiates the conversation, she would send the text to your email, and when you respond, it will go from your email to her text.

    My husband lived in Canada and has Telus and i was in the states and had Sprint but we both had text packages on our phone and we were never charged extra!! I still text my friends in the states and have never been charged extra for it and neither have they! My friend in N.Falls has Robbers and she gets billed for texting to the states!! be sure and call your service provder for the correct info!
