Q: What is a WIND HOME Zone versus a WIND AWAY Zone?
A: 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/stick: 10 cents/25 kB
Also, to make sure you don’t accidentally 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.
Currently there are three WIND HOME Zones in Canada:
- Calgary
- Edmonton
- Greater Toronto Area*
Expansion of the WIND HOME Zone is expected in 2010 for the following cities:
- Vancouver
- Edmonton
- Ottawa
Although the current WIND HOME Zone are is quite limited, that does not mean you don't have service in other parts of North America. WIND Mobile currently has a roaming agreement with Rogers Wireless netting them access to their 2G network. WIND Mobile is also working hard to bring coverage in the United States of America.
