Texting on Lake Erie

Thanks for the response. I haven't incurred any charges but it is something to consider.

You are correct in regards to the internation charges. I never cross the border but have had my Verizon Droid tell me several times that it was about to switch to international roaming while fishing north of C-can.

I fished east of the bouy last weekend and had service off and on with Verizon but my wife had no service with a different carrier (Cincinnati Bell).

I am from the eastern basin and have had the same thing happen when I wasn't even close to the canadian line. I get a text saying welcome to canada roaming charges will apply. Make sure your data roaming is turned off in your settings. I have an iphone and verizon.

I agree with turning off there roaming function. That eliminates any roaming charges that you might get otherwise. Some people aren't aware that you don't need this function unless you are traveling out of the country.
