Hi,
Does anybody know what "Extras" means in my unlimited text messaging plan? Thanks.

Hi there @tamdon
Great question by the way 😃
There's a few more reasons that could explain messages, being included in the "Extra" section.
This could also include:
- messages sent while roaming outside of the Fido network
- messages related to FidoRoam, or PPU charges while roaming
- Third Party services (short codes, etc.)
The details will be listed on the bill once it's printed, that's for sure!
Thanks for the quick reply KAPABLE-K.
Do you know if I will be charged for that? How do we know if a number is a landline?
If it is that then yes you will be charged I believe its 25cents for each text.
There is no way of telling if a number is a cell or land line its up to you to find out from the person you are contacting.
Edit: I actually found a website that can tell check it out here.
Thank you very much.
I'll have to call CS to discuss with them. It's my daughter's line and she just got the phone over a week ago and was so excited to try it, and I did not know about the no-landline texting policy to warn her. Many thanks.

Hey @laurentmathurin
