All the unlimited minutes are FROM call "home call zones"
What a load of shit.
Their FAQ states:
"Question
I do not live in a WIND HOME Zone, can I still be a WIND Customer?
Answer
Yes you can. "
Ok but then I am just paying for every minute Roaming?
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong
Also, currently with the Big 3, if lets say I am in another town out of my local area, and place calls locally in that town it is LOCAL not Roaming. With WIND it would be roaming.
I hope their coverage expands quickly because it sucks big ass donkey balls right now. |
From what I understand you can still use your plan outside of the home zones, but you'll be paying roaming charges.
As for whether you'd be paying roaming charges if you were say calling from Calgary, that I'm unsure. I'm assuming it would be local since you're in a "HOME" zone. They'll be setting up HOME zones in Vancouver, Edmonton, and Ottawa starting early next year. Best thing is to just call them/email and ask. Takes a few minutes and you have nothing to lose.

Many of you are asking what's the difference between a WIND HOME Zone versus a WIND AWAY Zone?
At WIND, when you are in HOME Zone many services are available to you for free.
When you are in a WIND AWAY Zone, some services will cost a bit more:
* Calls to anywhere in Canada or the U.S. (all destinations): 25 cents/minute
* Any calls to you: 25 cents/minute
* Any text messages you receive (from anywhere in the world): free of charge
* To use the Internet on your phone: 10 cents/25 kB
To make sure you don’t accidently rack up a huge bill, we have capped your maximum call length to 120 minutes when you are in an AWAY Zone – we just want you to be sure you know you’re incurring those extra charges. Also, your WIND phone will clearly tell you where you are. When you are in a HOME Zone, your phone will say HOME, when you are in an AWAY Zone, your phone will say AWAY.
