Soccer Man… Stay in your wind zone and stop using your phone outside the zone… You know the rules so i’d say thats your idiot tax right there. The other companies charge you absurd amounts each month to cover the cost of your so called free phone and as far and throttling your data speed its only after you have used up your 3gig or 5gig cap and most of the other providers do the same when offering unlimited data plans.

I just cancelled out of Bell with two years remaining. The ECF will be high but I will be
saving money in the long run with Wind’s unlimited plans. Now I can listen to my radio
App without worrying exceeding my data although
I only use less than 500mb per month since I have
wifi at home. My one year old iPhone 3gs is now just an IPod basically and may just sell it to recover some costs.

Additionally, with Wind, if you are from Toronto, you can use your phone in Ottawa, Calgary etc etc i.e. ANY OTHER WIND ZONES!!! without paying a penny extra. All your services are available for your use for the same cost at any wind zones.

Try using your Rogers phone for talking/texting from a different Canadian city. Yes Rogers will be there, but they will be charging you extra too.

Please stop spreading rumors, unless that’s your job as a Rogers employee!

Wind zones are almost similar to Rogers zones. And yes, Rogers has you zoned in as well. If you are from Toronto, go live in Niagara Falls for a few day sand use your phone. Let me know what your bills were like for those days. So, long story short, there is no ROAMING included in Rogers either. Even though you are roaming in Rogers’ own network, Rogers will charge you roaming fee. Not just that, they are actually going to charge you twice, they will take the minutes out of your included bucket and at the same time charge you extra per minute.

Only roaming included with Rogers at the moment is for data. Which is good, but with the limited quantity that you get, I don’t see how you can find it attractive enough. As for me, my data requiremetns tend to be around cities where Wind does have zones.

Oh and by the way, Wind Mobile gives you the best roaming rate period. Go to US and you can make and receive calls to/from anywhere in US and Canada for 25 cents/minute. With Rogers you will pay $1.35 per minute for calls. Even within Canada Rogers will charge you 35 cents/minute to roam in their network while you are out of your Rogers home zone. Wind will charge 25 cents/minute whether you call local or long distance within North America.

So, please stop with the rumors about how Wind zones are so limiting. A sane person will choose wind zones over Rogers over priced crap any day….

My 2c.

Wind is great. Do the pay before payment plan and you will never have pay for something you don’t want again. Love wind

Wind is not a good company to go with, they will hit you huge with charges for going outside of your zone. If you just take care of your phone for two years with one of the other companies you can get a hardware upgrade and continue on your way. Wind and mobilicity and chattr are terrible companies for wireless, not to mention once you use 200 or 300 mb of data they slow your phone down so others on the network can use data.

WIND and Mobilicty run on the new AWS frequencies, and Apple does not manufacture a device which works on these networks. But really, it does not matter. I’ve been with WIND for 6 months and most people want Blackberries and Android phones nowadays.

Get the Nexus One or Nexus S. They both work on WIND and you’ll never go back to iPhones.

first of all wind mobility is a new company and doesn’t have the experience that all the other old companies might have. They don’t have the ability to know that there are people out their in the world who are waiting for them to launch iphones
