voicemail
To access your voicemail while roaming, press and hold 1, as you normally would. You may be asked to enter your wireless phone number before your password.
Depending on your international roaming destination, your voicemail service may work differently than at home since you're using a foreign network. Roaming charges apply when retrieving your voice messages from your wireless phone while you are roaming. Voice messages that are deposited in your voice mailbox do not incur any roaming charges. You will need to have a balance of at least 25¢ to ensure your callers can leave messages while roaming.
text messaging1
While roaming internationally, you can receive text messages from home and send messages back to Canada, the U.S. or while travelling in one of partner countries.
To send a text message while roaming in the U.S.:
If your recipient has a Canadian or U.S. number - enter the Canadian or U.S. area code and 7-digit wireless phone number. If your recipient has a number outside of Canada or the U.S. enter "+", then the country code, followed by the wireless phone number
To send a text message while roaming overseas:

1There is no guarantee of delivery within a specific period of time. There is also a slight risk that your message may not be delivered, as many factors may contribute to delivery options. Messages not delivered after 72 hours will be deleted. Additionally you may experience inconsistencies in message delivery if the receiving party is roaming off their home network, service providers have made changes, or the recipient has recently changed their service provider while maintaining their original phone number. These are limitations of the local and International delivery network, not specifically the chatr network, and we regret any inconvenience this may cause.
