Urg I want to switch from mobi since all the existing users got completely shafted by the HSPA+ upgrade and premium data.
But there's no data on the $25 plan, and the $500 windtab won't do any good if I'm planning to get a Nexus 4 anyways.

Thats good to know! The two lines I have are on separate accounts, I'll have to get them merged. Thats one less reason to switch.

the $25 dollar plan is a bargain if you're making a lot of international calls. i'm calling china everyday right now and saving a ton of money using the facebook fan 1 month offer. calling direct vs calling skype/voip is no comparison for a call halfway across the world.

Unless you make frequent LD and US LD calls, 30$ migration fee isn't worth it.

The description of Voicemail+ says it includes "Enhanced voicemail notifications allow for direct access to VM message".

Anyone know what that is?

I'm tempted to jump on an android and go with the $40 plan.

Does a mobilicity phone have to be unlocked first in order to work with Wind? It's a Samsung Gravity touch.

it's basically a premium voicemail service and not the basic 5 messages limit voice mail like the big 3 sometimes offer.
Not sure exactly how many messages. I think it's 25. Someone else might know exact details.

Can anyone answer this? I believe last year the plan was only valid for 12 months and then the price increased?

Edit: nvm it appears plans are for life

What is the difference between this $40 plan and the current $40 plan they are offering at the moment?

Thinking about using my Koodo tab to get the S2x and ditch Koodo's super 6GB plan for wish40. I don't really use the phone often to justify a $60+ bill.

Give it away, it's a great plan that many will be interested in. Word of warning, Wind coverage sucks. I had Wind in Oshawa and it was basically like having no service

How's Wind coverage on the prairies - specifically Edmonton and Calgary?

Thinking about swapping from my grandfathered Koodo with pay as you go data, as it's extra for VM and Call Forwarding.

but the $29 plan is not available anymore. The only thing currently available is the normal $25 and $40 plans, so these promotional plans are still an upgrade

Yea it's worse than the $29 BTS plan but that plan is not available anymore and you only had that rate for a year. I just finished on that plan last month so I guess I'll be moving to the $40 plan, still hell of a lot better than what Rogers or Virgin are offering for holiday plans... their plans are a complete joke.

Wind is supposed to be rolling out LTE sometime 2013 and they are expanding coverage more rapidly than mobilicity so it only makes sense for them to start charging more. Gonna be on Wind with a Nexus 4 for the foreseeable future.

Edmonton is good. Had coverage 99% of the time when I was on it. Calgary was good when I visited also. However, I spent the entire time in Downtown/North Calgary.
