For those of you who text, but don't want to pay to text people out of province or in another country, there's an app that has been a good addition to the iPhone: Kik messenger.
Kik uses wifi, not 3G to work, so you do need a wireless internet connection for it to work. The app works exactly like the text feature of any phone, except a whomever you are texting has to have a Kik account and have the app on their iPhone, iPod, or iPad. You can also use Kik to send written text, pictures, or video.
Texting is free because it works on wifi and, as long as a person has the Kik app, works no matter where you are in the world. My wife uses Kik everyday to stay in touch with her siblings, and it is a good way for us to stay in touch when she's in the States and I am in Manitoba. We used Kik when I was at the Labour Day Classic football game in Regina and she was at home (I just had to be at our hotel or a McDonalds to be able to send/receive messages because of the wifi). Kik is a great way to stay connected.
