LIVE! Crazy unlimited plan from Wind $29

WIND MOBILE - New $29 "SUPER SMART PLAN" + new Windtab+ (up to $400 off phone) - RedFlagDeals.com Forums

UPDATED LINK TO OFFICIAL PAGE: Back to School Sale

$29

stolen from RFD

Quote:
Super Smart Plan
- Unlimited Incoming
- Unlimited Local Calling
- Unlimited SMS (Canada/US)
- Unlimited Data - F.U. Policy Applies (Most likely does NOT include tethering + $10 Tethering add-on)
- Call Control features (Caller ID, missed-call alerts, call forward, call conferencing, call waiting, call hold)
- Voicemail
- Unlimited WIND-to-WIND calling (Canada Wide)
=$29

New WindTab is supposed to offer up to $400 off any phone
- Unclear yet if this is available to existing clients though its a possibility depending on the plan you are on
- Rumor is that tab is cleared after 36 months

UPDATE. confirmed now to start tomorrow. Aug 11/2011 and its for 1 year, then goes up to $45/month

iPhone 4 Testing on T-Mobile USA; AWS iPhone For Canada Too? | iPhone in Canada Blog - Canada's #1 iPhone Resource

interesting but older news.

wind to wind in other cities that have wind zones. say like Toronto to Vancouver. if you and friend are both on wind you can call him long distance free.

Whistler is wind zone too so also free calls. Squamish is in the middle and NOT a wind zone, so probably roaming charges.

hasnt rolled out yet, so don't go calling. most likely rolled out in late Aug or sept as its a back to school promo.

no iphone....yet.

unlimited data = 5 GB then you get throttled possibly, at their discretion

Can someone explain why do they charge $10 for tethering?

I thought if your phone can be a "wifi hotspot", any other wifi device can just use your phone to go online, via the phone's data.

@shenmecar:

they take the estimated extra bandwidth usage into account, since computers are more capable than a phone/smartphone, there's a lot more things you can do

cause that would be too generous lol.

anyways its only for 1 year but wind is no contract. after 12 months, hop onto the next plan if you dont care about being subsidized. meaning go buy an unlocked phone.
