Heya hon,

I'm Canadian, from Montreal though, but I think I can help. Thing is it depends on the person's cell phone at the other end! They hv to be able to receive overseas texts... Not all Canadian cell phones can - completely ridiculous i know and it depends on the provider, not the phone... Rogers can, Bell not from everywhere, same with Telus....
I assume you hv the cell number, so you need to dial 001 first; then their number should be 10 digits - the area code (for eg a lot of Ontario is area-code 705) and then seven more numbers XXX-XXXX...
that's it! Did it work?
