    To make and receive calls, your phone's frequency must be compatible with the frequencies used at your destination.

  2. Vidéotron agreements

    Before your leave, please check that Vidéotron has roaming agreements with network operators at your destination.

  3. Rates abroad

    Rates vary from one country to another. Find out what to expect before you leave.

    To verify your phone's compatibility, Vidéotron agreements and rates abroad, consult the Coverage and Roaming section.

  4. Call Canada from abroad

    To make a call to Canada from abroad, press and hold 0 until the "+" symbol appears. Then dial 1, the area code and the number.

  5. Configure your voice messaging

    When abroad, you have the option to activate call forwarding to direct your calls to your voice messaging service. So all your calls will be answered by your voice mail and billed as if you were in your local calling area.

  6. Optimize the cost of your calls abroad
