NF - Wind Mobile & Mobilicity

[John Bacon]

Is anybody here with Wind Mobile? Is there service in the GTA any good? I know that they are not going to provide the same coverage as Bell or Rogers; but they are a lot cheaper. Do they at least provide decent service in the GTA?

 

Is there anything that I should know before signing up with them?

 

They advertise their plans as unlimited data but provide a figure (e.g. 2gb full speed allotment). I assume that this means they do not charge extra for data usage but they will slow the service down after I reach 2 giga bytes. Can anyone confirm this?

 

 

Thanks.

It is really weird service in my experience a friend has it, and where I have full bars of 4g lte with Rogers at a friends house out in mount hope, he is "roaming" and if he texts or calls it's an extra charge

My son had it in Oshawa. Some weekends at the cottage in Bobcaygeon...100KM away....he would regularly lose the signal. He was with them to save a few bucks and he said it was fine in Oshawa and the GTA but that was it. He got rid of it because he found it unreliable.

 

This was 2-3 years ago. Don't know how it is now.

I believe they were just bought out by shaw?

My wife had it for less then 3 months and had to change providers. Could be sitting right beside her and she could not receive my call or text.

They have too many dead zones throughout the city.

With Shaw being the new owner the price will go up but service should improve..

Correct

One can wish, however R has limited towers hence why they bought fido (cost) years ago (running of the same towers and owners as Wind) So it is up you quality vs cost

1.5 Billion dollar deal. I would think it won't be cheap. We are rural and use Koodo, no complaints, best price available.

Thanks for your input. I am also considering Mobilicity if anyone has input for them.
