lol if you're in Kamloops for a while don't bother...

dont bother with wind. doesnt work outside chilliwack. just stay on month to month with telus.

Well, I guess I'll just resort to retentions through Telus then.

I WILL be switching to WIND ...so question is process.

My ROGERS contract ends Sept 29th .... so.. from what I can figure out, I go to WIND and put in the 'number port' request and they take care of it all. I DONT want to let ROGERS know i'm terminating my service or else I may lose my number. So...when do I go see WIND? a few days before the contract ends OR wait till contract is completely over?

Wait till it's completely over and before your new billing cycle with Rogers begin.

Can someone please run speed test that's on WIND and tell me what you get? I'm thinking of switching from Rogers

going to use wind on business phone. How reliable is it? And does the plans have basic voice mail?
Posted via RS Mobile

for the money I love it!
8/10 for reception 10/10 for price

Voicemail depends on which plan you have but you can always add it.

Or go the cheap way and get something like fongo and get free VM.

Post your Wind speedtest results here!!

anyone want wind number with $300 credits of add ons msg me
I tried wind and where I work and live doesnt have reception.

has service until october 24th

switched to WIND yesterday.

Found a dead zone at my parents home in North Delta around 117th St and 7700 block.

works fine in the surrey newton area so far... not so good in Massey Tunnel ..haven't tried in basements or elevators yet.

ISSUE #1:

picture mms messaging is inconsistent.

initially, the WIND REP who setup my iphone5 plugged in the wrong proxy information... I corrected it and was able to send out photos via mms. However, on some occasions..i would receive a photo but get the message :

A Picture/Video Message!
A media has been removed.


EDIT: EDIT: Wind Mobile Support Response to above issue after verifying my APN settings:

These are the correct settings for your device. There is not a size limit for the incoming MMS, however as it is not a WIND branded device we cannot offer proper troubleshooting. I would recommend having the sender compress the file prior to sending it to you.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

I switched over to wind. My phone is capable of LTE but I dont get LTE signal with wind. Running ookla speed test the results were:

Ping: 136ms
Down: 400.5kB/s
Up: 10kB/s

I'm sitting beside a window at BCIT. I'm not gonna lie, its pretty slow sometimes but before when I was with Fido I keep on going over my 1GB limit so "Unlimited (10GB)" for $30 bucks a month I'm not gonna complain. I usually stay around Vancouver, Burnaby, and Richmond so I didn't really get any out of service problems.

Issue 2 : iMessage

Ok, so it appears iMessage is still limited to your email address and not phone number.

You can enable iMessage and it will remain on "waiting for activation" however it will work with the email address you chose for iMessage.

It will NOT work with your phone number.

As an experiment, I took my wife's iPhone on Rogers...sent a photo to my Wind phone number - it was undeliverable.
Resent the photo to my iMessage email and it was delivered and viewed successfully on my phone.

I tried to send myself a photo to see if that would kick start it like in previous postings from other users ..so I sent an image from my phone number to my phone number and it worked. But then tried sending an image from my wife's Rogers phone to my phone number and it didn't work - failed to send.

So in conclusion, this is definitely something WIND has to do on their end.

:lol

People still use mms?

for current user how are receptions in malls and restaurant? I m thinking of making the switch from roger, they are too expensive.

It's like that because WIND is not an official carrier for the iPhone. So iMessage and FaceTime doesn't work with phone number.

Wind doesnt have LTE, so therefore you wont get LTE signal :badpokerface:

All malls should be good provided you're not underground. Restaurants as well.

It's a much better gauge to see what area you're in rather than what specific type of location you're going to frequent. I mean, what's different from a restaurant and house? Or a restaurant in a mall?
