Wind roams on Rogers in 2g at 25 cents a minute, no long distance charges so it may put Petro Canada mobility out of business as the rate is the same but much cheaper on long distance calls.

Wind Italy's roaming agreement is with Rogers right now and is some ridiculous rate (1.50 euro a minute I think). The sim would work in Wind Canada phones if they had an agreement.

Covara Pescara?
We are just over the hill and there is no 3g and we have to leave the village to get any reception at all. I don't think it would be possible to use that much data in a month!

Canadian Operators

In the space of 2 months Canada has gone from 1 GSM provider to 4 and another in the wings. Let's see what it does to prices in the next couple of months.

New Prepaid Gsm Canada

I see both Telus and Bell have prepaid on their new 3g networks. Bell seems to have a 30 cent a minute offer which isn't bad for Canada. They also offer a sim card for $5.

Success

The 155.it site accepted my Canadian Visa Card! I was able to recharge so I won't lose my number before we get back to Italy in September.

The problem is I still have 50 euro on the card which I hate to lose! We will be in Italy a week after my 12 months is up on Wind, if I recharge then do I retain my credit on the phone?

Wind

Just discovered something new on 155.it called Wind Ricarica Smart.

Signed up for it and they sent me a pass code but when I tried to use it they said they were having technical difficulties!
