It should work only on Rogers, which is the only GSM network in Canada (at least nationwide). Probably new agreements will follow, surely at least with Wind Canada. |
I passed by a Wind store last Friday and I just had to stop and grab a phone. So far I'm not at all impressed with Wind.
The activation was a pain. I started it at 10am on Saturday and the phone only came to life on Sunday at 4PM, after being on the phone with pretty much everyone in their food chain. Basically the initial activations rep messed-up the process and the SIM card info dropped out of the HLR. The problems didn't stop at the activation. Even inside their already-too-small coverage area there are many dead-zones. In building coverage is mediocre. To make things worse, handoffs to Rogers are slow (in the upwards of 30 seconds). To this you add friendly but quite clueless CSRs and you have a mess on your hands. Unless things improve dramatically in the next 3-4 weeks, I plan to take the phone back and cancel the service. |

Call and ask to be escalated to management. Some of the Wind upper tier managers do in fact know what an HLR is and even have access to it. |

My ATT US Sim roamed on Bell the other day so it sounds like Bell has set up some roaming agreements.

If they survive this fiasco I will give them another try in a year or so. Just found a deal with Bell. 10 cents a minute on prepaid provided you put in a least $10/month. |

From the other forums it dosen't look like there has been much improvement yet. |
