Posted via RS Mobile | Several of my friends have made the switch to Mobilicity from RoBelLus. And then made the switch to wind.
Totally worth it.

wind is better than mobilicity just because it auto reconnects to the network without restarting the phone. Doesn't hurt that the data is faster too!
I just got my S3 back from their warranty department. My notifations LED died after I updated to Jellybean. Sent my phone out and it took 3 weeks, but it's been repaired properly. Only complaint was that I had to pay $10 for a loaner phone and had to make a $80 repair deposit. $80 was refunded when they saw it was under warranty. Can't complain since the service is so cheap! And now I'm using the free Internet forward to email for voice mail so it's ultra complete!

Wind location at Central city Mall in Surrey across the street from king George sky train is having a sale for Unlocked T Mobile Samsung S3's for WindTab only $149 so half price off from regular $300.
Just picked one up for my girl, only this location while quantities last

calling customer service is going to do nothing. you would probably also kill yourself trying to get them to understand what your problem is. don't waste your time.

Signed up with wind, spend most of my time in Vancouver, service is great by Langara College and at work by Main and terminal ave. Happy with them so far and my nexus4.

Curious though, what phone are you using? Shitty phones = shitty reception.

I don't think they will be able to help you out much except to tell you that they are expanding there.
