Wind Mobile’s Fair Use Policies for Potential Network Abuse

The information just keeps rolling in. As expected there will be internal caps that WIND will monitor to flag potential network abuse. We all knew data caps would likely happen, but I never thought phone call caps would be in place. I do understand the need for this, so I can’t fault [...]

Wind Mobile Launch update

I won’t write much for this because there’s not much to say. Wind is not going anywhere for those of you waiting for them. The target launch day is December 1st for those of you holding out. I am keeping the info I post about Wind to a minimum as I do not want to give the big 3 any advantages.  Good Luck Wind.

Tip us on some news

There Are 16 Responses So Far. »

  1. Now THAT is news! I really do hope they go through with the December 1st launch and nothing gets in their way. This will surely let Wind to tell Bell and Rogers to take their offers to buy Wind’s spectrum as if they’re doing Wind a favour and shove it where the light don’t shine…

    [Reply]

  2. My heart wants to believe you so badly, but my head urges caution.

    Of course, I want to know the reliability of your source but I know I shouldn’t ask. I’m on the verge of signing a contract because I want that Bold 9700 but WIND could launch in a mere two weeks. I’m on the breaking point.

    What a catch-22.

    Riley Freeman Reply:

    My source is very reliable. It’s a “target” launch date by no means is it guaranteed.

    Salinger Reply:

    Whether Winds ends up launching or not (and I’ve come to trust Riley’s intel!) I really think it’s an awful time to even consider locking in for 3 years right now.

    New options are coming, and I really think this whole Wind debacle with the CRTC/Industry Canada is going to lead to changes in the wireless industry that may finally see consumers get some real choice from the big internationals.

    AngryChineseDriver Reply:

    I know, I even had a whole game plan mapped out to have someone take over my contract while still keeping my phone number.

    Just had a near breaking-point yesterday…better today with news that some MPs are siding with Globalive (Marc Garneau).

    It’s kinda funny because just over a year ago, I purchased a phone from HK then went to sign a three-year with Rogers…so stupid of me.

    [Reply]

  3. For the CRTC dropping that bomb… December 1st is a very very reasonable launch date.

    Power to the people !

    [Reply]

  4. If this is true, this is excellent news, I pre-ordered the n900, and this means I can have 3G and not have to use Rogers EDGE system.

    Oh please be true

    [Reply]

    alpha Reply:

    Habib Q – YOu know the N900 only works on AWS 3G(tmobile in the USA and currently no network in Canada. This will not work on telus or bell’s new 3G and will only work on roger’s 2G network.

    [Reply]

    Riley Freeman Reply:

    He knows this. But if WIND Launches then he will get 3g. Re-read his comment

    Theoretically you should be able to use 3G on Fido: 850/2100. http://gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_ca.shtml

  6. Woohoo!
    Now, only if we knew something about the plans *wink wink*
    As far the phones are concerned, i’m surprised there isn’t a wider selection. I believe this is partly because of their AWS band.

    [Reply]

  7. I dont see them launching December 1st.. they need to do some MASSIVE RE ORGANIZIG.. FINANCIAL POSITIONS.. FUNDS.. then once this is all done.. another CRTC review has to be performed.. I dont see them coming around until Q2

    [Reply]

  8. Screw Rogers. F**k Telus. Ring the Bell. Time’s up. Even if it isn’t December 1st. It’s surely coming. Great news.

    [Reply]

  9. It’s nice how there’s other companies coming in as competition. However, I see that Wind uses UMTS 1700…which still make phones slightly limited.

    I guess for those who care about phones, better think twice before looking into wind. For those who only care about plans, it’s a fantastic news!

    [Reply]

    Somebody Reply:

    Huh? Any phone that works on wind will also work on robbers… just at a lower speed. How is that limiting? It means that your phone will basically be compatible with *EVERY* gsm network *in the world*, with the exception of bell/telus.
