I switched to Wind from Rodgers. I'm paying the same price as with Rodgers but getting wide open unlimited US. I'm a happy camper. :)

I did not like to use it.I have bought an unlocked phone so if it is not satisfactory I will just get an other sim card. We have made our calls home to Canada on Skype.

Used all the way down to Florida. No problems. Made long distance calls home and no extra charge. I even tethered my phone to iPad for wifi without extra charge.

Thanks for getting back so quickly.It looks like it may be the answer for cell in US for Canadians.

I only need USA roaming for 4-5 months per year. Does WIND allow you to suspend or cancel for the other months? Couldn't find that in the FAQ.

Yes you only added it for when you need it according to there representative.
I need to get it turned on as we plan to leave on January 3.
I will know better after we try but we do have an unlocked Black Berry Z30 so can switch if we are not happy.

I think you will find that the coverage sucks. Who is their carrier? Has anyone actually received a bill so they can see the actual cost? There is no free lunch. If they are roaming on ATT their costs would be very high. If it is Tmobile they have the worst coverage in the USA. Has anyone in the Southwest tried Wind?

Yes I have received two bills both being $60.00 plus tax. That includes full coverage in the states and Ontario. In the spring I will drop the US coverage and then it's $40.00 per month. They don't support Black Berry phones though. I believe they piggy back ATT towers.

I have had a bill at $35:00 ± tax and I'm posting is with my BlackBerry z30.I did have the BlackBerry unlock phone that Wind put there sim card in.
