Does the HTC Panache (from Mobilicity) work with WIND AWS?
Thinking of trying out the $29 plan.

If you get it unlocked, then any AWS phone will work, yes. Though I think there was another person about five or ten pages back who complained about shitty reception with his panache.

@Turbo - Really?
Haven't had any problems since last september when I got the panache, rooted and unlocked it as well to try it out, but was too much of a hassle and I preferred (or grew accustomed to) the HTC UI .
Maybe I'll just wait...S4..N4? Wishful thinking..  | |

I'm using the Galaxy S3 and just updated to jellybean on wind. Everything went smoothly, but now my LED notifications indicator doesn't turn on. I don't even get a charge indicator light! Anyone else having this problem?

Bit the bullet, switched to Wind. $40 unlimited plan, and Samsung phones are on special, got the GS3 for $199. Plus the guy gave me a $100 credit, $10 off my bill for 10 months. I'm happy.
Even though I'm paying to get out of my Rogers contract, that savings will cover the stupid penalty. No more contracts, I feel so good!
I do hope the coverage is ok, but we will see, I have 72 hours till my number ports and Rogers is no more...

It normally takes 2-4hrs (6hrs max) before your number is completely ported.
I don't think I've met someone that took longer than that.

They let you pick when you want to be ported and 72 hours is the longest you can pick

I don't even get a charge indicator light! Anyone else having this problem? | my LED works but 2 things that seem to glitch out after going from sandwich to jellybean on my s3 are:
whatsapp, kakaotalk not displaying properly on my lockscreen.. when i get a message and i see the led light go on, ill click the home button and it will show the preview message for a split second then dissapear, or sometimes the top screen pulldown window wont show i have a message
my led light is my 100% indication i have messages
i use my phone for music in my car so i have it hooked to the audio jack, when i get a notification txt, whatsapp, fb or anything, it will beep then the music will play through the phone speakers and i have to unplug and put back in the audio jack

yup technically it is still a 3 yr term because unless you have a lot of overages, you will not be able to pay off your tab in less than that. wind's network obviously isn't as strong as the big 3 right now. it works good for me because i'm always in vancouver, richmond and burnaby. haven't tested it out in surrey, langley, maple ridge, poco etc... but honestly i am probably out of the country more often than i am in those places.

Got so sick of it. Plus I like to drive out of the city in the summers to the oakanagan and there is obviously no service out there. Ya I can make calls on wind away but there's no data and thats what I can't live without.

^Same. People on RFD haven't gotten it yet, either. But the $50 bonus for new customers is valid until Dec. 31, once the code is sent out.

Anyone here jumped on their $29 talka-texta-data-holic unlimited everything (minus global texting and us calling) plan? I'm trying to jump ship from Rogers but still deciding if it's worth the cost to do so.

I signed up on Monday. Ported over my number from chatr in 5 hours. reception has been decent in Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby, Langley and Abbotsford. There was weak reception indoors in Tsawassen and in certain parts of my house in Richmond.
