Switch to Wind Mobile and get $150!

Posted on 27. Feb, 2010 by aingaran in misc

Wind Mobile, the new Canadian wireless carrier operating in Toronto and Calgary is offering $150 to customers of their competitors.

If you’re a customer of any other Canadian wireless carrier (Rogers, Telus, Bell, Fido and etc..) Wind Mobile will give you a bill credit of $150 upon switching your cell phone service to Wind. The credit will be applied to your account over the course of 5 months in $30 denominations monthly.

This may sound like a great deal, but for many who are already in contracts with their existing carriers, it’s not such a great deal.

Things to consider:
Phone
You must purchase a handset that’s compatible with the Wind Mobile network. The cheapest phone available from Wind is $130. After you’ve purchased a phone that’ll work, the $150 credit will be down to $20.

Coverage
Coverage is limited to Toronto and Calgary. If you wish to use the phone outside of the area (assuming it works) you will be billed roaming charges.

If you currently do not have a contract with your current provider or are on pay and talk, this might be a good deal for you.
