Winds good. I'm on the student plan $25 a month. Unlimited texting and minutes. I can text to the united states too as long as I'm in the "wind zone." cant beat that for 25 bucks.

I am sure they have the money lol.

I paid $360 + tax for a year of service with mobilicity
live in coquitlam work in north vancouver
I am happy with the service and to be able to get everything for this price point
unlimited calling to all north americans number (US and Canada) is pretty sweet, area code becomes irrelevant when you have this plan  | |

I'm thinking of switching to WIND/Mobilicity as well...currently on Fido retentions ($17.50 + $10 CID/VM/2500SMS + Flex Data)
Thinking of going with Mobilicity $25 + $10 data add-on
Any comments on current coverage/reception of WIND/Mobilicity?
I'll be in Vancouver/Richmond/UBC 90% of the time.

The frequency that Wind/Mobilicity operate on (1700) doesn't have the penetrating power that the big 3 (850) get through, for example, concrete walls.
Wind/Mobilicity were trying for the 700 frequency, but I can't remember the details of that auction, or when it's supposed to happen. If either of them do acquire that band, and the Big 3 don't, that means the indoors issue would be reduced/eliminated.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong with anything I said here.

there still deciding on how to proceed with the auction.. whether to allow Robellus to bid or not.. Rogers already has around 80mhz of the AWS band themselves which they plan NOT to use, plus whatever else they have.. the reason why rogers has soooo friggin much is to stop any new carriers coming... this makes rogers the largest spectrum holder at 160mhz in north america.. which is twice as much as Verizon, and they cover more area then rogers does... Bell/Telus has a combine total of around 140mhz spectrum... if robellus were allow to bid, you can pretty much say good by to wind/mobilicity... as their current spectrum isnt going to compete...
on a good news, i like mobi's $25=$10 unlimited data.. expect wind to follow as well..

I'd rather not suck at the teet of Rogers' 2g network. I'm already slurping away at the teet of their 3g network.
I'm actually just going to go with 2 phone, methinks.

The only reason I want to switch to Mobilicity/WIND is because of the unlimited and (In my case) faster data.

mobilicity has the cheapest plans..
the shitty part is if you don't have a c/c you have to pay 3$ "transaction fee" to get the store to add $$ to your account.
but then again u should just buy a years worth of service for a couple hundred
oh and USA roaming is 20 cents per minute, 15 cents per text and 5$ per mb definitely the cheapest pay per use roaming..
