    New Data Plans Revealed

    Blackberry
    o Infinite BlackBerry $35/mo.:
    - Unlimited Internet, Email, Social and Instant Messaging.
    - No overage tariffs since there is no limit to use data

    o Charged BlackBerry $20/mo.:
    - 500MB of data – for heavy BlackBerry users
    - Enough to get you daily about 500 emails with several pages attachment in
    word/excel/pdf, browse about 500 web pages and get about 500 instant messages

    o Social BlackBerry $10/mo.:
    - Unlimited Instant Messaging, Facebook and MySpace
    - Social BlackBerry add-on does not offer access to Internet

    Other Data
    o Infinite - $35/mo.: Unlimited data
    - For those who are serious about mobile internet
    - No overage tariffs since there is no limit to use data

    o Charged - $20/mo.: 500MB of data
    - For frequent use of mobile internet
    - Enough to get you about 300 emails / day or browse 150 web pages / day

    o Social - $10/mo.: 50MB of data
    - For regular use of mobile internet
    - Enough to get you about 1000 emails, or browse about 500 web pages on your phone

    Pay-per-use data is right for you - if you are a casual user and need to access about 10emails / week or occasionally browse about 10 internet pages / week.

    Are you sure about this? If this is true, I guess Wind will be kicking some major ***...

    Do you have any sources for this? Are you an insider, or have you been told by somebody else? And this isn't on Wind's web site yet, so when will this be announced?

    He thinks that it means 500 web pages, OR 500 emails, OR 500 instant messages. When it clearly says "AND"

    And the last one says 1000 emails, OR 500 web pages...

    Charged Blackberry gets 500 IMs, but Social gets 1000 emails? Unusual numbers is what he's pointing out.

    if its true, it still sucks..
    anything less than 1gb for $15 is too high IMO, since Telus was able to offer unlimited on device data for $15 at one point, and Bell offered $7 on the touch.

    Don't see how it sucks, as it never says you can't tether.
    Most Canadians with wireless service don't know about the Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Service

    I think it was an honest mistake. He missed the per day vs. per month. The 50MB is 1,000 emails. The 500MB is 300 emails per day.

    These plans will never please everyone... everyone has a different needs and opinions. But the bottom line is this... if this comes to pass, it does indeed show they are listening and providing us with "change". Yes we can! - amirite?

    But seriously, let's hope they can do the same with their employees. Happy employees = better service for the customers.
