you might have better luck going into a retail location. they'll be able to process it on the spot or even take care of it for you instead of having to call back to check your bill

I then get the bill with a charge of $130 for the 31mb of data during that period that Wind fuked up. I called them and the CSR supervisor at the time said they'll adjust the bill because it was their mistake but needed to email corporate and have them do it from their end as it was too high an amount for her to deal with. After a few days of no change in the bill, I call again and now they're saying corporate replied and they decided not to credit the money and I will have to pay the full $130. WTF is this shit? I dont see how they cannot see that This was a mess up on their part. Why would I port in from mobilicity's unlimited everything plan onto wind's chat plan so i can use $130 worth of pay per use data. I called CSR again and they sent in another email trying to convince corporate to reconsider the credit. WTF is this BS. | msg me your number, I will fix for you  | |

J______ how's the call quality with WIND have you noticed any duplex issues? Seriously considering switching over with this new deal.
I ordered a t-mobile galaxy s, and read earlier that you were using one on WIND as well, So i thought I would ask you.

Planning to jump the gun in the next few days to go with either Mobilicity or Wind for the $40 unlimited plan.
Will cough up the $180 bucks to cancel my plan. Before I move forward, which provide should I go for and why? Which of the two carriers currently has the best reception?
Thanks!

Thanks! | wind has better coverage than mobilicity and faster/stable data. Mobilicity seems to have a marginally clearer voice signal but their data was unusable for me on my vibrant when I was on it so I had to switch back to wind. Quote:

voice quality is pretty good. Mobilicity seemed to have a slightly clearer call but Wind's pretty good. Rarely do i have a dropped call and I've never had any comments from the other end that my voice is bad. With the usuably fast data and decent voice, I would pick wind over mobi atm.

Sometimes people say i sound like an alien and going to school I dont get strong signal because Wind has some weak building penetration =(

I have 9days left with a Fido contract. If I port over to Wind right now, do I still get the $150 credit? If I purchase a phone that is under $150, do I get it for free?(wind tab)

Still looking for feedback of how strong the signal is for East Van ppl for areas like in Joyce, Killarney, Champlain Heights, etc.

Just wondering if there is any other poor college student that is considering canceling high speed internet at home and just tethering at home and download stuff at school?

Sometimes people say i sound like an alien and going to school I dont get strong signal because Wind has some weak building penetration =( | I get dropped calls once in a while and sometimes people say I sound like an alien too but for $40/mth, I guess you can't expect it to be perfect.

Thanks in advance. | are they still offering the port over credit? mind you that the credit is taken over a period of time and no given all at once...
i believe you can only get 1 promo per new sign up, unless they change it for the holidays...

They took it off the total cost of my phone, but now they're taking 10% off of every bill I get to pay towards the $150.
