Does it cost to text someone in Canada?

I have unlimited text, call, and data. There's this boy from Canada that I've recent been talking to. He's very sweet and it makes me happy when I talk to him, except we can only talk through Instagram and twitter and it gets very hard to reply quickly because of all the notifications we get. I have an iPhone, he has an android. Is there any ways we can communicate through text (I mean like not using social media) for free?

Easy just get this app called "kik" it's a messaging app on all smartphones. Completely free and extremely easy to make an account

Depends what carrier you have. If you're on verizon, there's no extra charge if you have unlimited texting already. Any other carrier, i'm not too sure about. You'll have to call or look it up on your carriers website.

You could also download an app called "Whatsapp" which is esentially a texting app, but uses data instead of sms.
