Roaming


Roaming Coverage and Rates

With our network and International Roaming service you will be able to roam internationally on both CDMA and GSM networks, in over 180 countries, including data in over 100 countries around the world.

How to make calls

To make a local call or a long distance call within a country, the dialling method is the same.

To make international calls, you need to use the international dialling code used in that county.

In GSM, you don't have to know the international dialling code. You can replace it by the "+" symbol. To get the "+" symbol, hold the "0" key for a few seconds until the "+" appears on the display.

In CDMA, the international dialling codes are:

 US, Bermuda, Guam and Caribbean  011
 Hong Kong, South Korea and Thailand  001
 Taiwan  005
 Other CDMA countries 00 

Roaming charges in CDMA mode

You will continue to benefit from the same great service and pricing you rely on with NorthernTel when roaming in CDMA territory, whether using your handset or data device.



Prices are for roaming on digital networks and may vary when roaming on analog networks. The Motorola A840 will not roam in countries that have analog only coverage. Please contact a NorthernTel representative for more information before travelling.

Can people call me locally when I’m roaming?

Yes, each North American , metropolitan city, and many smaller towns, that offer cellular service has a special access phone number that can be used from a Touch-ToneTM phone. The caller dials the Roamer access number for the city where the cellular is located. Once they hear the dial tone, they should enter the 10 digit mobile number.


What will be my charge if I travel in the U.S.?

When you travel outside of Canada in a digital coverage area, airtime charges are now $ 0.99 CDN per minute and long distance is $ 0.75 CDN per minute. In analog coverage areas, airtime is now $ 1.80 CDN per minute and long distance is $ 0.99 CDN per minute. If you currently subscribe to a special roaming feature or rate plan, your rate is not affected.
