Yes, there most likely will be roaming charges if you are travelling in between provinces. Although some phone services like koodo have nation wide free texting. I would suggest that you check with your service provider to see what kind of plan you have. If you are unsure DO NOT use your phone, as the charges are incredibly high!

Have a good trip and make sure to check your service provider to see where you can and can't use your phone!
