i wish i could, but i need some incentive to offset the higher monthly cost. I've for $10 in credits left from Mobi too :D I was saving them for roaming, which i NEVER do.

getting a cheap G Nexus doesn't really do it for me.

pick one of their plans. and do the sign up like you would normally. then if you decide within:
a.)30 mins talk time
or
b.)15 days usage

that you dont like it, then you can refund, and just pay for the number of days you've used. ie. decided after day 5 you dont like it and want to return everything... then it'll cost..
5/31 * $plan

that's not how fast your speed is alll the time right? i've hit those speeds a few times before, but on average mine is only around 2-3mbps..

im using a gnex, what phoen are you using?

Im on the edge thinking of porting over to wind from rogers (cant deal with their bs customer service and limited credits), I know there was a porting credit couple months ago. Now that the deal is expired any idea when it'll take effect again? Thanks

Teh Doucher 05-17-2012 11:58 PM

$25 for 100 mb/month is a joke.

wtf our $25 plans went from unlimited data to 100mb/month? when did this happen?

Psykopathik 05-18-2012 09:04 AM

no, its the big 3's offerings. Mobi is still all you can eat, but throttled if you exceed 100MB/hr. after that hour it speeds up again.

this is only for the new plan. if you're on an older plan, it should still be unlimited.

nice one, note the corners are obscured, that means no tape required.

Going to go on Wind soon, but the $5 for 50MB Pay Your Way add on is really discouraging... :(

Edit: Fixed $5 typo.

If you're going to be using data, then you might as well just pay the 25 and get the 100MB. At least that way it's only 25, and another buck a meg for each one over that.

that, or if he's really considering $50 for 50mb, just get the $40 plan that has unlimited data?

+1 for the $40... cant go wrong...

areyounoob 05-28-2012 01:35 PM

Ahhhh that was a typo LOL it's $5 for 50MB.

Going to test out Wind services starting tomorrow. Do they give you a phone to test the service as well?

Alphamale 05-28-2012 01:40 PM

Everyone on wind is still have zero issues with reception in/around downtown?

i've mentioned this many times in this thread, but i'll do it again for you.

their trial works like this.
pick a plan, pick a phone.
you have 15 days, or 30 talktime minutes as your trial. whichever you use up first, ends your trial.
if before that, you decide, no i dont like wind, you can refund everything. but you'll have to pay for your pro-rated usage. (ie. x/30 days * $monthly plan)

the only time i've ever had reception issues is if i come up from the skytrain, it either takes a few minutes to regain reception, or a few seconds, depending on where i am and how lucky i am. other times i experience troubles is within a really big building thats surrounded with walls. (ie, steve nash sports club locker room)

speeds are decent for what it is.

on a side note... was out of town this past weekend..

in abby had good reception with 3.53mbps down and 0.35 up
in langley at luxe seafood restaurant, managed 4.39 down and 0.35 up

Anyone else having trouble with the phone not automatically switching back to the home network when you're back in the wind zone? This is on a BB 9900

Came across this issue the past 2 days around the Chilliwack/Abbotsford boundary.

Just have to turn off your mobile network in wireless option, wait a couple seconds then re-connect it.

Harbour centre food court is a soft dead zone for me (I get signal on the side opposite the vietnamese place). Beyond that, I'm good. I work downtown in an office building, so it was kind of important for me too.

WIND Mobile | Facebook
Wind is offering a $30 credit to their customers who click "Like" on their Facebook Day page and you will get a code/link.


This is false. The "Code" they send you is back to your account page and from there Nothing. My posts on facebook and DMs on twitter are being deleted and ignored, along with a bunch of other unhappy wind users. I did all this 3 minutes after they posted this promo. Within 10 minutes my first post was deleted along with a bunch of other wind user rants. I like their coverage and LOVE how much stuff is included in one bill, but pulling a fast one just to get likes online? :suspicious:
