If you meant by using the phone in china, then im not sure. i DO know that the wind blackberry supports quad-band frequencies for 2g, but off course you would not be able to use 3g.
if you meant using your china sim to ROAM here...you would have to see your china carrier's website if they have any partnership with windmobile

if you guys are gonna cancel, better do it now than later, it says in your contract or when you sign up for your phone service that they require a month notice before cancellation.

i meant if i can bring the wind blackberry to china, plug in a chinese sim card and use 3G. It llooks like china is on 2100 band for 3g according to this: http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
so technically it would work right?
and the other thing i meant was wind doesnt support quad band in terms that i wont be able to use my unlocked fido phone on it. If i dont want date, the voice wouldnt even work because wind runs voice on AWS?
also according to wind, when you port your number over, wind cancels for you. So your not supposed to cancel yourself if you want to transfer your number.

Basically, if you get a fido blackberry, it won't work with wind. If you buy a wind berry, it is backwards compatible on 2g. If china uses 2100, then it should work(wind blackberry). Your right about the porting, my bad Posted via RS Mobile | |

Yup, pretty much everywhere in the world (that you'd want to go to) uses 2100, except NA and Australia

What was the reason for NA to use 850/1900? I remember reading about it a few years back.

^ There's a major difference. That the 2 things I listed above for them don't apply last time I checked. They use metric everywhere, and accept ECE (ie Euro-spec) vehicles without having to wait 15 years, last time I checked.  | |

Americans always think of new fuked up standards that they want the rest of the world to adopt, but no one does because it's all crap.

Nobody is as backwards and xenophobic as Japan, trust me

It's comparable to most US carrier's unlimited plans. If you can stick within the Wind Zone, I think it's a perfect landline replacement solution.
I'm thinking of leaving Bell for Wind.

Sure you have to stay inside your home zone but that's true with the Big 3 anyways last time I checked. If your number is Vancouver-based, you're paying Long D in Abbotsford etc.
