WIND FAQ's [02/10/10] - ★ The WIND Mobile Sticky FAQ ★

So:
T-Mobile version will work on Rogers for voice and EDGE (True/False)
AT&T version will work on Wind for voice only (True/False)

1. I have the T-Mobile version of N1 and currently using it with Fido prepaid and voice works. I haven't tried edge, because I purposely did not set a APN for data access. You can probably find posts by other people with their experiences on data if you do a search.

2. I believe others have mentioned that Wind will only work with AWS frequencies, so there is no chance that the AT&T version will work with Wind.

Hey all

I have Social Blackberry and had to download the Facebook and MSN apps, and I've also noticed data usage on my account which must be from BBM and MSN conversations but I can't tell for sure, if I were to use some web browsing data it would show up as a charge to my pre-paid account, right?

So if I get the $15 prepaid, how long will my account last?

Will it be active until I use up all the minutes or do I have to keep topping up every month?

its $15/month.

Better question:

If I get a prepaid service, and stop paying, they will cut off the service at the end of the month. But how long do I have to add money to the account before my number gets canceled and re-assigned?

For example, if I were to get an AT&T go.phone service in US, I can pay for a month, and get a month of service, and then for another 3 months I can pay again, and get the phone line re-activated. How long is that period with Wind?
