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..

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!

Edit: All plans include Caller's ID, Call Forwarding and Call Waiting. | 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.
