My cellphone plan is with Koodo, and my number is Ottawa-based (613 area code). When I was in Toronto and wanted to access my Koodo voicemail, I used my Bell calling card to call my cellphone number to avoid long distance changes. Unfortunately, I was also dialing from my cellphone to dial, and the calling card service doesn’t support having the same number for the source and destination.
I tried to report this as a design flaw to Bell, since they probably have lots of customers that have non-Bell cellphone providers. After 2 hours on the phone with various people and offices, someone said that accessing voicemail is free for most cellphone plans, even when one is in a different city from one’s home. Is this true for Koodo as well?

Log into your self serve and go to Plans and Add-Ons. Does it say Canada wide anywhere there?
