Just a few more tidbits of information.

- Any voice plan you take, your first month is free.

- If you are outside of your home zone, you are roaming on rogers and extra fees are incurred. This is unfortunate but understandable as Wind is new. Once they have their network fully built this will no longer be the case.

- Overages (on Wind’s Network) - 10c a minute for local calls, 15c a minute for Canadian & American long distance. 10c per 25kb for data charges when not in your home zone. Texting Internationally is 15c per message, picture messaging to Canada or the U.S. is 20c per message and International picture messages are $1 per message.

- Overages (roaming)

Local Calls are 25c a minute, Long Distance is 25c a minute, Text Messages 15c a minute, picture messaging & data is 10c per 25kb message.

WIND will be expanding to Ottawa, Vancouver and Edmonton.

There will not be any Voicemail Passwords (I think this will be a problem for a lot of people. This should definitely be OPTIONAL). Call 777 to listen to your Voicemail and it does not use your minutes.

If any of you have any question feel free to let me know or go visit a WIND store. Support a carrier that is willing to change things.
