preparing for wind are they?

El Bastardo 03-30-2010 03:52 PM

Yeah but at the end of the day you're still stuck with their poor call quality and dropped calls.

Gh0stRider 03-30-2010 03:57 PM

damn.....not a fido customer

MoBettah 03-30-2010 05:11 PM

This doesn't include unlimited nationwide calling btw. That is the major difference between this and wind.

terkan 03-30-2010 06:00 PM

seriously how many ppl are gonna call across the country non stop every month? nationwide calling imo is useless.. more towards older ppl with family in another province.. i mean seriously ask urself.. how often do you call ur friends in toronto or some other places?

Tim Budong 03-30-2010 06:20 PM

Well regardless, wind is skewing their words. U gotta be in wind zone to take advantage of everything

Not really racist! 03-30-2010 07:50 PM

what the fuck is this "wind zone" anyways

bcrdukes 03-30-2010 08:01 PM

^
It's a specific geographical area that you have to be covered under (i.e. Vancouver/Burnaby/Richmond etc.)

Are you so short sighted that you can't see past your own limited network? Many people have jobs/businesses that require nationwide LD calling, not to mention the multitudes that have family across the country.

MoBettah 03-30-2010 08:58 PM

How hard is it to understand? It's just like any other local calling zone. Just like on Fido, Rogers, Telus, Bell. City fido has "ZONES" too.

Tim Budong 03-30-2010 09:30 PM

^Cityfido is called "cityfido" for a reason. There is a reason why there was the "countryfido" option many moons ago

As for zones, Windmobile is confusing in where coverage is considered "home zone" might not be covered. There are spots in Toronto in which you might think you are in the "homezone" but technically, you are roaming on another network.

Local calling zones on Rogers and Bellus are easy to understand because you are covered where you are. Wind Mobile does not have the infrastructure to have you covered say if there was no network coverage in North Vancouver. you would be paying fees for making that "local" call there

only if that $50 plan included data.. $80 seems a bit too steep for me, at the moment im paying $85 taxes in for 2 lines and i have data on one of them.

TRD Rs200 03-31-2010 12:19 AM

hmmm, if i can get them to give me that plan without signing a contract I am down

StylinRed 03-31-2010 10:15 AM

yeah winds website is really obscure with the details, like their Long Distance deal for $5 a month.. it doesn't say that its $5 a month for 1country of your choice and $0.05/min for the actual call

had to search around for that


as for Home and Away zones, the pricing seems to be identical anyway (per minute that is)

not really, it's still better. If you are out of wind zone, it's 25cents a min, which is pretty much equal to roaming charges on fido/rogers. But the good part is if you are in any of the other major citys that wind is in, it's back to being free, whereas if you are in another major city with fido/rogers it's STILL roaming because it's outside of GVRD. Also wind's plan includes call display and voicemail. Fido's doesnt.

So wing is STILL > fido. I'd rather pay an extra $5 with wind for Unlimited everything and get national calling and unlimited text in Canada AND the US.

Not to mention i'd be glad to pay that extra $5 just to tell fido CSA's to fuk themselves.

Edit: it looks like this plan gives you free unlimted calling within a city when you are in that city like countryFido. But still no unlimited text to USA.

In the end what does this tell us? that fido/rogers had the ability to offer this before but chose not to hahaha. I still want to see what their roaming fees will be in the US. Wind is 25cents a minute. thats real cheap compared to the $5 i got charged for talking for 3 minutes on fido.

i have 1 year left in my contract, and i was able to get this deal without renewing my contract. I used WIND Mobile's plans to have Fido match, so in the end, I got CID,Voicemail credited and no contract, but i have Fido+Rogers network reliability.

That IS ANOther difference, wind offers unlimited long distance in any home zone. This plan is unlimited local calling only.

When it comes down to the technological differences between Wind vs the rest of the competition, which would you choose

the Proven reliability of Rogers/Fido/Bell/Telus and HSPA/UMTS or the one of two AWS networks in the world?

Once again, i'd like you to pay attention to the name of the two fido plans CITYfido and COUNTRYFido

Every carrier has the ability to come up with any offer, but you can't undercut the competition when the companies in play is based on how many customers you have. Once the dog decides to offer this, Bell will follow and so will telus, the undercutting means no change

its like you have 4 pop machines lined up, one decides to charge the pop for 95c instead of a buck, in short term, the cheaper one will gain more consumers and money. a day later, the remainng 3 decides to charge 95c again, we are back to square one
