    I'm Leaving WIND

    After being a WIND user for more than two years, and using it as my primary service for about one year, I am sad to say that the time has come for me to leave WIND and switch to another provider.

    Why? Not because of the small coverage area. Not because of "penetration" issues. Not because of data speeds. Certainly not because of cost.

    In fact, I don't want to leave WIND. But I'm moving to the San Francisco area for a new job, and unfortunately, WIND does not have service there.

    WIND has been great to me, so I wanted to write this more positive post about leaving.

    I'll still remain an active member of this forum, although I may also start spending some time in the T-Mobile forum.

    It's been great sharing my favourite network with all of you
    Coverage Mapper - A crowd sourced cellular signal strength mapping application
    Download from the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...CoverageMapper.
    http://www.coveragemapper.com

    The opinions stated here are my own, not necessarily those of my employer.

    Congratz man. Thank you for the positive post. I wish you luck in your new job. So what happens with Coverage Mapper? Will you still be involved in maintaining it?
    Just loving it.

    I haven't decided what to do there

    "americancow" doesn't have quite the same ring to it, nor is it technically true (I'm not a US citizen).

    Coverage Mapper will remain exactly as it is now - a hobby

    Good luck man, I love the west coast... And good timing too... With winter coming. I'm jealous.

    Hope you enjoy SF!

    I don't really use covermapper now but I remember when you first released it to the public I had fun with it. Made my excercise routine a bit more entertaining. Always tried to go through new places that were not recorded yet.

    All the best. One thing I have found out is that any unlocked phone with AWS (Windmobile+ T Mobile) works in most carriers. But not the other way round.

    I'm using a Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not too concerned. And I can't imagine the next Nexus will supporter fewer bands, so I think I'll be safe, as long as I don't go to Verizon.

    And I will continue to! I just won't be on the network anymore.
