i'll be your friend rk ;)

i wish i had wind..personal line, but my fido offer too hard to pass up. reason being is that i want to get my hands on a AWS nexusOne and hack the shit out of it to try all the neat stuff. Theres more ROMS and customization for the AWS version vs the UTMS nexusone

^^^

The roms for the Nexus One works for any versions, it doesn't matter if its AWS or UMTS versions.

Any new promos for July ?

Is any Wind user on Nexus One? I have plan to go Wind Mobile with a Nexus, more specifically, how's the signal/3G speed in Richmond/Burnaby?

im using the nokia 5230, and i get very good signal in vancouver/richmond/burnaby..

never had a bad connection, dropped call or anything..

so i assume the N1 would be similar or a bit better for voice, for data, the nokia was a bit slow... so your N1 would rock



So i just changed my plan to the $15 one.. haha half off $7.50 and i get all addons and cancelled my data.. i only used 70mins my first monthand like 100mb of internet.. instead of paying $45 im paying $7.50.. haha 100mins i figure should be enough.. i dont make a lot calls...

could someone tell me if i can unlock a Roger's 9700 and use WIND? how about bell and telus? i'm in the market for one thanks

3G will not work.

^ thanks for the reply

So pretty much i cannot use any 9700 with Wind Mobile unless its from Wind or T-mobile or i'll be paying for Roger's roaming fees?

So is there a good AWS Android phone that is cheaper than the Nexus One? My brother wants to get on Wind

tmobile has a lot of android phones. any of those would work


my cousin walked into a store and got the employee there to sign her up on the friends and family deal, 50% off her plan permanently! i think the deal is over now though.

those i believe are employee deals..

so unless the guys have any left and if they want to give it to you...

Actually I think the best bet for him may be to get a used 3GS and go with Rogers or Fido. I assume (probably foolishly so) that their PLAN prices are the same regardless of whether you buy a subsidized phone from them.

I'm sure there are tons of fools out there selling their 3GS to pay for their crack.. err new iphone 4.

For those of you that might be interested in Wind, I saw these promos on HOFO and so I thought I'd share:

$150 Porting Credit
http://www.howardforums.com/attachme...3&d=1279159765
50% off data for 1 year!!!:D
http://www.howardforums.com/attachme...4&d=1279159852
Free unlimited global text add on for 1 year!

The promos are supposedly starting Thurs or Fri.

nice $150 porting credit. Does this work with pay as you go customers? lets say you open fido pay as you go account to get a number. then you port that number over, get $150 credit from wind.

btw how is reception indoors in richmond? specifically in concrete structured condos/apartments.

varies by location, i think you should take advantage of WIND's return policy of 14days and 30min of talk time. try it out, if it works, GREAT, if not then use network builder?

Is the 50% off data before August 15th too?

their website says the porting credit is if you are currently with rogers/fido/chatr only...

Telus and Bell sucks anyways.

I'm just interested to know if the porting credit applies to pay as you go as well.

My dad is using my old number on Rogers pay/go and ends up filling up on a $10 prepaid card each month. The basic Wind plan would be perfect for him

The promos are now live!

Does the porting credit mean.. if you cancel your current plan in rogers/fido they will give you $150?

porting credit will be given out in installments of 25$

this porting promo is for anyone that ports their number over, NOT just rogers/fido/chatr

Please note that porting results in cancelling your existing plan with your current provider.

You cannot cancel then port. :p

well, that is the idea!


i'll be jumping on this before aug.15th for sure! just gonna wait it out a bit to see if desire comes out before this offer ends.

Quick question about rogers/fido billing, they bill for the month after right? so essentially they're pay before account? So if i get billed on the 1st of the month, i can use my service till the end of the month, port over to wind on the 30th, then i wont get billed again the next month? Do i need to call in to confirm cancellation with fido after wind ports me? or is it auto.
