Roaming on my Verizon 4g iPhone?

I live in NY but I'm in Canada for the day. My boyfriend also lives in NY. We both have iPhones and we use iMessage. My iPhone says its "roaming." Does iMessage cost money if it's roaming?

Yes… Since your in Canada… Your using Canadian cell towers… Which is a different country… Which is considered international usage… And not part of your monthly domestic home voice/text/data plans… Ergo---expect a bigger bill next month…

you may wanna call Verizon to get international plans to help lower than bill
