Wind Mobile Pricing Leaked on Howard Forums

It appears that pricing for Wind Mobile, Canada’s newest national carrier has been leaked on the internet. Wind is expected in the next few days and many of us can’t wait to try out the new network / operator. If the pricing that was posted by “Windsider” over at Howard Forums is correct, there’s going to be a lot of people looking to switch carriers in the next little while. :)

There are 3 different voice plans to pick from, Chat – $15, Always Talk – $35, and Always Shout – $45. All of the plans include Caller ID and Call Forwarding – 2 things that the other carriers like to charge extra for. All of these plans offer unlimited Wind to Wind calling. Chat offers 100 province wide minutes, Always Talk offers unlimited province wide minutes, and Always Shout offers unlimited Canada wide calling. There is also an option for $20 unlimited North America calling.

For non-BlackBerry users there are 2 choices for data. Infinite Mobile at $35 gives you unlimited data for your phone and allows tethering. Infinite Laptop is $45 and is unlimited data for USB data sticks.

BlackBerry data also has 2 options – Social at $10 and Infinite at $35. Social gives you unlimited instant messaging, Facebook, and MySpace. The Infinite option gives you unlimited internet.

These plans are just what the consumer in Canada has been waiting for and just what the competition was afraid would happen when Wind entered the market. I’m ready to sign up and switch my service. :)

    Wow!!! Not too shabby at all! I love that the minutes are province/Canada wide!

    I would have liked to see a data option that is less than $35 for those looking to use occasional data, but the $35 unlimited is competitive, especially with tethering included!

    Let’s hope that the WIND network will not experience too many growing pains. They certainly are a breath of fresh air.

    Ya, I really like the $45 plan for unlimited Canada wide calling. I don’t call other provinces much, but it also includes voicemail, which is $5 more on the other plans. So for $5 more a month, I can call anywhere in Canada. Sounds really good to me.

    Actually, I won’t be hurrying into getting a WIND account. The are only going to Oshawa in the East which just covers me. I’d hate to go down the road and lose coverage. Oh well, I’ll join once its matured. :)
