It would've been extended already if they were gonna extend it.

Last day is tomorrow, correct? If so I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to port over.

someone on rfd said october 15th.. who knows though.

confirmed with cellular baby ext'd till oct 15th

Can't, I will have to pay ECF to rogers, like 2-3 month contract left on voice only plan

I'll take your word for it.

I would pay the ECF just to get the $29 plan.

couple querstions:
1) if I port over now for $29 plan, but I dont want any phones right now and want to wait for Galaxy Note 2, can I put a cheap phone and wait til release and then go on WindTab for galaxy note 2?

2) Will I then lose the 29$ plan and be forced to go on something under current promotion at that time.?

1. You can purchase a cheap phone at regular price and wait till the Galaxy Note 2 comes out to go on WindTab.

2. You won't lose your current plan because it's a permanent plan.

Oh man, i feel so stupid.

Which is better deal
$40 plan with free voice mail paying 299 +HST for GS3 or $29 plan paying $449 + HST for GS3.

Or buy a used Galaxy nexus or nokia N9 from craiglist list straight out for $280-$300

If it were me, I'd do the simple math.

$150 less now
$11 more for 36 months

$150 < $396

Go with the $29.

Also, on a related note, assuming that you're on a $50 tax in plan with rogers, you'll pay $150 to ditch three months early. You'll notice that on the $29 plan you're saving $21/mo. In about six months, you'll've paid off the ECF, and will now be golden. If you go with a $40 plan, it'll take you more than a year.


Just sayin'.


The reason I took the plan I did ($29 discounted from $45) was because I thought "I'm paying $80 now. $30 is awesome. And the $45 plan's features will get grandfathered. If I don't use the stuff, I can just move down to a plan that's less full up. No matter what, I win."

I am on a 27$ retention plan voice only from rogers, no data. So taxes in about $33/month

have we confirm the spec of the s3 on wind? I think all North american S3s are dual cores with 2GB ram, is this same for wind? or is it something different?

Samsung Galaxy S III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <-- this says it's the same.

-edit-

Also, if you're on a $30 retentions, think of it this way: $100 one-time fee to get unlimited data.

then think of it this way... grab yourself a plan on wind and keep your rogers line for the next 3 months. you can save yourself a dollar, but essentially, you'll have a back up line, and, if things don't go well with wind for you and your usage, you can refund the wind line within the first 15 days, or 30 talktime minutes. you can't really lose in your situation.

$100 ECF
or
3 months at $33/month = $99

as long as the s3 you use is the AWS frequency version. not the one you get from fido/rogers/telus/bell/koodo/virgin

s3 price drop coming soon by about 10%

But I would like to keep my number from rogers, had it for 12 years. A separate line from wind means I can't keep number

Just port over and pay off the rogers line no big deal. Some guys have paid hundreds just to ditch robbers.

On a side note i signed up for the $29 plan just to give it a try. ill gauge the service at home and all my usual spots, if it isn't up to par i can return it if it is under 14 days/30min.

So far at home i am getting good service, even in my basement. Will give it another couple days before I ditch my robbers line.

The wind guy took his time to find me a 700# too, didn't want the 440/400s.

Just ported over from Mobilicity today - can't say I'm overly impressed but hopefully that changes with time. Data speeds are on average a bit faster than Mobilicity but nothing drastic; I have yet to break 2mbps d/l.

Has anyone thought of/tried signing up on the $40 plan and get a lower price on the phone (compared to the $29 plan), and then the next month switch your plan to the $29 plan (and pay the $25 switching charge?)

That way you get a cheaper phone, and a lower plan...

I'm pretty sure there's something in the fine print that says if you do that you'll either have to pay the difference in the discount, or that you can't.

You would have to pay for the difference in the WindTAB.. 449 -299= $150+tax..

So far I'm loving wind! Getting download speeds that rivals robbers and at Times it's even faster than my WiFi on the outskirts of the connection.
This is the fastest I've ever got. Usually it's around 3-4Mbps
