Lol even the girl who sold me my plan and phone said the customer service is quite bad, but if I needed anything don't hesitate to go back to her! $29 and okay reception makes me happy enough :)

It does, I'm still waiting for them to reset/fix my voicemail. If they can fix that, I don't see myself needing to call in for anything...so hoping I won't have to deal with CSRs too much more. Even Telus could fix something like that instantly as well.

You were probably on the basement floor (that's common). I'm usually fine in that area as well (Knight and 41st).

wierd, i signed up my wind account at the store at metro and the first thing i did was walk around the mall and see if i loose reception anywhere.

the only area i lost reception was at tnt, but then i had no reception there with my iphone 4 when i was with telus.. everywhere else was fine inside

my data and reception was completely fine the whole day

5th day with wind and so far receptions been on point for me, definitely worth the jump from my $70 from rogers

Anyone have a wind phone i can borrow for a few weeks? Waiting for the next nexus to come out before i make a decision on what phone to get. Really bad timing to switch to wind right now as the new phones are coming out in a week or two and i don't have a phone to use right now :( Hopefully someone can give me a hand here haha

gamzerz 10-24-2012 09:11 PM

That's a common problem among WIND users that a simple reboot could fix.

Gonna provide an updated regarding having my Samsung Nexus Phone fixed (under 1 year warranty)

- Originally said it would take 2 weeks
- Ended up taking 1 month
- Their maintenance and warranty division is contracted out to some cell phone fixing company in Toronto (I'm assuming phone goes back to Wind, they contact Samsung to see if they'll pay for it and then they send out the the 3rd party contractor)
- Paid an initial $10+tax for a loaner phone, $85 deposit to fix phone in case I was at fault. In the end they said I wasn't at fault and got the deposit back.

Overall I'm satisfied that they fixed the phone under warranty but not impressed regarding the time it took and the level of customer service (at HQ Robson/Thurlow store and on the phone)

You get what you pay for though and my plan trumps Robbers for sure.
