Long distance

What are the basic rates for long-distance calls?

Canada/US

The usual rate for calls to Canada and the United States is 10¢/minute. However,

if you have subscribed to one of our long-distance plans, you’ll automatically benefit from a preferential rate of 5¢/minute if you go over your plan limit. If you select Videotron as your long-distance provider, you will be able to make free calls to other Videotron subscribers (i.e. Videotron’s cable telephone, mobile telephone and Softphone subscribers).

Overseas/International

For international calls (except calls made to the United States), the per-minute rate depends on the country you’re calling. Check out our rates and our International calling plan. 

Calling card

For calls made with a calling card to North America, the rate is 15¢/minute.

For international destinations, check out our rates.

Which other long-distance service providers are supported by Videotron?

Videotron’s rates are cost-competitive. However, if you choose another

long-distance provider, please check that their service is compatible with our network and equipment as not all the alternative providers can offer their services on Videotron’s network.

Please note that if you do go with another long-distance provider, you will no longer be able to  make free calls to other Videotron telephone subscribers.

What is the difference between a local and long-distance call?

Every 10-digit call you make without entering “1” before the area code or “011” before the country code is considered a local call. To find out if a call is local or long-distance based on your local calling area, visit www.localcallingguide.com.
