pretty much, exactly what graeme said. when i signed up, the rep made sure to inform me about what settings to do to stay on the home network. i dont know if theres any way to do the settings i did (nexus s, and galaxy nexus here) since you're on a blackberry, but make sure its set to 3g only and you're pretty much good to go. |

I usually still read my BBMs just out of habit, but are unable to send back because the data would be disabled. But the BBM I'm reading wouldve been received while I was still in the Wind zone. Never bothered to call in to have 4 cents waived off my bill. Posted via RS Mobile |

so most of you guys signing up under windtab or just buying phones outright? |
i wasnt sure if Windtab is optional on the plan when i signed up with Wind i got the $29 unlimited and voicemail for $8.. i figured the voicemail would be important for me for those places that my reception will just go flat line the sales person just told me that they subtracting $200 off from my phone for the windtab and payed $500+ on the S3 so far in the 4 days i have been with Wind, i am overall satisfied.... like i said you get what you paid for.. just the odd reception on some indoors havent encountered those delayed text messages yet its the S3 thats getting me bummed out because of the shitty battery life... and that coming from the iphone 4 |

Yep. It was a $29 discount (supposed to be for one year) for the old $45 plan (it had everything above), but then they just sent me a text last month that the price had become permanent. Win. |
i did think about getting the canada nationwide unlimited but i figured if and when reception gets really good, i may drop the voicemail add on eventually |
If you ever get a call while you're not getting signal, you also get a 'missed call' text. "Hi, I tried to call you! 604-555-1234 (1:25AM)" Kind of thing. So if it's just for missed calls...not really a big deal. Works for if you've got no reception or if you turn off your phone. Same deal, really. |

i was thinking of switching then, but didn't cause it was for 1 year :okay: |
I switched because my contract had just expired with Rogers, and I was still going to save about $40/mo even with the $45/mo. I looked at what I was paying and what I was getting and went "fuck it". I also was thinking about moving down to the lower price point once the promo was over, 'cause I barely use some of the stuff I've got...but here I am. Winsauce. |

im the $40 holiday miracle plan, so i basically get what you get, but for $11 more :( |
so are most guys getting a phone on windtab or buying their phones outright? i'd like to use windtab but just a little concerned about being locked in like a contract, which is fine if service is good though. |
I got my phone outright (CL, like new Gnex, $350). Why? Because it was basically the same as a windtab, and then I didn't have any obligation. Windtab applies 10% of your bill before tax ($29+8=36x.1=$3.60) each month towards the amount that you received as a discount. So if you get a $400 windtab and decide to cancel after 35 months, you'd have to pay $274 (35x3.6=$126, $400-$126=$274). If you cancel after 3 years (36 months), you pay nothing. It's a discount that gets reduced monthly and then wiped clean after three years. It's like a term contract but not and yet so much the same. I love my phone and if someone were to buy a gnex I'd say get it outright, no reason to buy on a discount. GS3, maybe a different story. |

the phone i would most likely get would be the bold 9790 it is $399 outright but $199 on the $29 windtab. so if i were to cancel after say 1 year how much i owe? 24 months remaining X %10 of my bill $2.90 =69.60. $200 - 69.60 = 130.40? is that right or did i mess it up? |
No, you're doing it backwards. $200 discount $2.9x12=34.8 200-34.8=$165.20 that you still owe. You owe them $200. And every month, they cut that debt by $2.90. At the end of three years, no matter what you owe, they wipe the slate clean. |
Quote:
so basically how ever many months i am with them i get the $2.90 off, tally that up and deduct from the windtab balance which in this case would be $200. so in this case it would never be too costly to jump ship, the most it would ever cost would be $200 if im following everything correctly. |
Finally got the 4.1 update today on my gnex. |
