Sorry Wind :(
Hello ladies & gents!
This post is both a happy one and a sad one.
Sadly I will not be subscribing to Wind Mobile when they launch thanks to the people at Rogers offering me an outstanding deal to stay with them! Rogers Wireless really tried hard to keep my business and it showed!
Not only did Rogers offer me Unlimited Talk, Text and Data, but they sweetened the deal with a new HTC Magic which from my understanding, will be receiving the Eclair update to Android OS 2.1 as well as the HTC Sense UI.
The above reasons is what convinced me to stay a true and loyal Rogers customer.
The Plan
- 250 Daytime Minutes + 100 Daytime Minutes + 50 Daytime Minutes (400 Total)
- Unlimited Evening, and Weekend Minutes at 6PM
- Unlimited Incoming Calls
- Unlimited Rogers to Rogers Calling
- 1000 Canadian Long Distance Minutes
- Unlimited Text Messaging
- Unlimited Picture and Video Messaging
- 6GB of Data
All of the above for $70 Taxes Included! They also waived the system access fee and 911 fee!
Sorry Wind but Rogers wants my business pretty bad!
