so yea
it launches in Calgary and GTA first with more to come

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

niceee!

but calgary before vancouver?

I thought they'd want to launch in Vancouver first, to get a share of the olympic tourists?

Have they mentioned any plans/pricing yet?

More info. Well done, Clement. You...did something.

The goal of globalive is not olympics. Which is why its not launched here first

what's the one advantage WIND has...?

It's not Rogers, TELUS, or Bell.

those plans seem pretty good imo

like that canada wide calling and $20 north america long distance

wait... that long distance is an addon...

so couldnt i just get the $15a month plan and add-on the $20 long distance = better than the $45 plan?

^^ not necessarily as they might still charge u for airtime but not for long distance so u'll still need to get a bigger airtime package..

Always Shout: $45 per month
Unlimited Canada-wide calling
Unlimited incoming /outgoing text messages

does that mean unlinted calling like good old city fido but only better ? it has unlimited text message with voicemail as well.

I'm pretty sure that's what it's saying.

i feel like i just got kicked in the nuts signing a 3 year plan with fido

$80 for unlimited everyting including Data and tethering seems pretty hot to me and no Saf or 911 charges.

LOL

Well considering most of the investors are from egypt they have alot of money to be able to start the business and with all the canadians who will no doubtedly transfer to WIND they'll still be making money from all the 45$ plans!

most of these look like add-ons that the regular carriers have.

eg. TELUS Nationwide $30(covers all LD in CAN) + Package 15(CID & Unlimited SMS) = Always Shout: $45 per month???

eg. TELUS RIM Social Networking $15(unlimited email, facebook, myspace, yahoo/msn/bbm) = Social BlackBerry: $10 per month(Unlimited instant messaging, Facebook and MySpace.)???

we need more clarifcations on these plans or bundles. it just sounds way too cheap for pay $45/mo to have unlimited talk within CAN + unlimited text on top.

yeah, or maybe they wont make any money and then get bought out by the big 3......just like fido and virgin.

wonder where their call center is located? probably overseas.

now if only they would match the $30 in credits i'm getting from rogers it would come out to $50 per month unlimited everything which is SWEET
