I was just on the youtube searching to see the bold 9700 and I found a windmobile channel.

I heard from some people that the loophole was closed.

Nevermind, starting today apparently windtab and bogo are available along with the $40 plan.

What's a bogo?

Here's the skinny (aka the Terms + Conditions):

These plans are available for a limited time only. The promotional rates apply only to activations that occur on or before December 24th, 2010 and is subject to change or cancellation without notice.
The discount will apply as long you keep your account continuously active and in good standing – once you switch out of one of these special plans, you will not be able to return to them.
These plans cannot be combined with Infinite Bangladesh/China/Hong Kong/India/Singapore/S. Korea/Taiwan add-ons.
As of Tuesday December 14th 2010, these plans may be combined with WINDtab.
These plans are eligible for the BlackBerry BOGO promotion
All services subject to WIND's standard Terms of Service, Fair Usage Policy and Internet Traffic Management Policy apply.

:stupid:

So If I want the Bogo promo, I would need to activate TWO ACCOUNTS? What's stopping me from canceling the second account after I grab the phones? (BB Bold + Pearl)

Nothing. That's probably why there's so many new Wind BB Pearls on craigslist.

lol I just got my first bill after adding a line on the $40 always shout + infinite mobile.

got charged $40 for the plan + 0.30 for 3 text messages + $130 for data usage.... uh...


they'll adjust the rate but i'd have to pay all the bill before or my service will get cut off. They'll then apply a credit to my account. lol holiday promo fail!

so i went and signed up to wind at crystal mall (dont go there btw they dont know what theyre doing) but my internet doesnt work i was told however i may need to setup my APN? (since my pnone is unlocked from elsewhere)
I called wind (wanted my pin which i never got) and they had no idea what i was talking about and couldnt help me out, ill try a tech rep when i get time but does anyone know what i need to do by any chance? Its for my N8 ir that helps

edit: oh btw im in maple ridge at the moment and have 4 bars on WIND Home

edit2: Ok so googled it; the PIN2 for the simcards is '5678' the APN addy is internet.windmobile.ca (apparently there's a broadband.windmobile.ca but its supposed to be "special" ???)

Okay guys, I need some advice/ a walk through of what I should do from my situation right now.

My contract with Rogers expires on the 22nd, and since they are not willing to meet me halfway to give me a better contract/price I have decided to switch to another provider.

I was going to go with Mobilicity, but since Wind has the same $40 Unlimited deal, I think I'll take my chances with Wind instead.

My Contract expires on the 22nd, I would need a new phone from Wind, or Wind compatible.

So can anyone walk me through how this will work?

I know that Rogers will keep charging me the same plan until I call them to tell them I am leaving, so will my number be deactivated on the 22nd?

Mobilicity told me all they need is my account number, and they can transfer over my number. This is the same deal with Wind I'm assuming?

Mobilicity's unlimited works as long as I'm in any Unlimited Mobilicity Coverage Area, so for example if I'm in Toronto, I can still use my plan as if I am still in Vancouver. Does anybody know if this is the same case with Wind?

Has the loophole been 100% patched? (Meaning I can't get the $150 Credit)

Can I pre buy a SIM card off Craigslist and bring it into Wind?

Thanks in advance everybody.

Wind will do all the work in porting the number over. Don't call in to rogers to cancel.

when porting, it takes up to 24hrs for the number to port over, until then you get a temp number... it took 1 hrs for my number to port over.

i dnt think they are offering $150 credit, are they? anyways, you can only get 1 promo, so see what they have. If you use mobile phone browsing, the $40 plan seems really good.

Anyone experiencing problems with half duplexing on wind? There's people over at howard forums who are saying it's a major problem.

what's half duplexing exactly? i googled it but im still confused

is that like not being able to use 2 data apps at the same time? i know when im playing Angry Birds Holiday i keep losing my data connection but i thought it was a problem with the game

Just tell WIND you want to keep your current # and they'll deal with it

WINDS plan works in any of their Home Zones (so same as mobilicity)

From what i understand from this thread WindTab and the Holiday $40 Pricing plan works together without having to do any "tricks" Wind is allowing it.

why would you pre-buy a sim from craigslist? (if you do the windtab deal you get a sim card from what i understand)

basically it's like using a walky talky where only one person can talk at a time.

I can confirm this, changed to the $40 plan on friday. $150 off and free sim card.

ok this is stupid. I ported over to Wind's $40 from mobi a week ago. Got the windtab first on the chat plan and as soon as my number ported, the rep changed my plan to the $40 unlimited data. I then was told the service was active and can start using the data right away. Somehow, the change didnt occur until 1am that day. So from 8pm - 1am, i accumulated 31mb of data usage. I then get the bill with a charge of $130 for the 31mb of data during that period that Wind fuked up. I called them and the CSR supervisor at the time said they'll adjust the bill because it was their mistake but needed to email corporate and have them do it from their end as it was too high an amount for her to deal with. After a few days of no change in the bill, I call again and now they're saying corporate replied and they decided not to credit the money and I will have to pay the full $130. WTF is this shit? I dont see how they cannot see that This was a mess up on their part. Why would I port in from mobilicity's unlimited everything plan onto wind's chat plan so i can use $130 worth of pay per use data. I called CSR again and they sent in another email trying to convince corporate to reconsider the credit. WTF is this BS.
