One of their stores in Waterloo only had lovely hard cases that crumbled into dust in a month as far as accessories go. At least the store was nice. Shame that the clerk fumbled my address and it took half an hour for her to realize that maybe I don't live in PEI.

Back when I had Rogers, that setting mysteriously reset itself once in a while, and I kept getting the messages every few months.

A Jupiter posted:I'm about to get a new phone in the next month, and was just about to take the advice from the Android thread to buy a Galaxy Nexus from Google Play, and then I realised I lived in Canada. I haven't had any problems in Waterloo with WIND, short of my university's dungeonesque basements.

The Wind frequency range is pretty bad for penetrating buildings, so your signal in a basement or in an enclosed area is bound to be worse. I accept that for dirt cheap unlimited data, though.

You can buy a new SIM card and have it connected to your account for $10-15, depending on provider. Pop it into any phone that is compatible with your carrier's frequencies, and you're set.

My HTC Excalibur is still kicking, and my mom is using my G1 from ages ago. My Desire works fine, and I only replaced it when I changed carriers and it wasn't compatible.

yellowcar posted:I did this. They simply won't match it or even try to. My mother, brother, and I switched from Rogers to WIND last holiday season. My brother's number was ported almost instantly, my mother's took a few days (I called them and complained), and mine took two months. Rogers made me pay for those two months, too, despite them admitting that they did not provide me a service during this time.

I've been considering data and no voice, since 90% of what I do with my cellphone is data, with the occasional text. I get/make maybe two phone calls per month, which can probably be handled with Skype (if the Android app wasn't such a piece of poo poo, that is).

I swapped three numbers from Rogers to Wind about two years ago. Two went through fine in ~48 hours (I imagine there was a backlog at Christmas time), but Rogers dragged their feet on the third one for three months, and then insisted I should pay for them.

I live in Waterloo, which is almost entirely covered, and it's pretty great. The reception works in my basement with a modern phone (not so much with my lovely outdated G1 though). The data is usually fast, but gets slow for an hour or two every other month. I like it, I don't think I'd go back to a non-unlimited carrier unless something drastic happens.

Science posted:Exactly. It's things like this: Is it possible to select no voice at all? 3GB of data for $45 wouldn't be that bad.

PS. Love the cabin posted:Does anyone here actually have Wind and find it decent enough? I have a similar usage pattern, I find it's okay. I get no signal in Distillery factories and factory-like buildings, or if I'm deep inside my building at work (like the center of the second floor), otherwise it works fine. I never had a problem with call quality.

mediaphage posted:I think winds suitability depends on location. In Toronto it's really good for the most part. In London tho it took me 20 minutes or more to upload a picture message. It was the opposite for me, perfectly fine in Waterloo and unusable trash in downtown Toronto.

CLAM DOWN posted:Android Pay rolling out and apparently no support for TD Visa. I'm so loving annoyed at this, their own app is pure poo poo and doesn't work, so what the gently caress am I supposed to use? The priority of the Android mobile team was to spend 5 months cramming in a way to push ads to your phone rather than making the financial part of their banking app work properly.

I used to have unlimited data through Rogers too, then they changed it to unlimited WAP browsing without telling me and lied about why my email didn't work for two months. Hooray!

Same, but Ohio. Can I buy a prepaid SIM card after I cross the border, or is there a better way?

Oh interesting, I'm largely in the same boat (down to being on Telus), might as well go legit as well.

shadow puppet of a posted:Signed up for Virgin Plus today via livechat on their website for a 20Gb $45/month BYOD plan where they will credit back the $50 activation fee and waived sim card fees and sim card shipping fees. This is a lot better than my current plan, what's the coverage like?

That actually looks pretty good. What's the catch? Or is this just genuinely a good deal? Their map shows no 5G coverage so I guess I won't be getting the mind control signal or whatever everyone is so upset about, but anything else?

I have a 3 GB limit now, so I'll give it a shot, thanks. Edit: *in extremely hacker voice* I'm in Edit 2: I'm not in, apparently there's a technical issue and they'll call me back tomorrow. But either way, turns out you can just ask for the $45 20GB plan and they'll give it to you. Ensign Expendable fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Aug 22, 2022 |

I got a code in the mail for Virgin, but the deal it offered was actually worse than another deal they had running on their website. Canada!
