Wind Mobile

Disclaimer: I am not reviewing this location of Wind Mobile, but Wind Mobile as a carrier. I signed up at Sherway Gardens and live in this area so I thought this would be the best place to write the review.
My experience with Wind Mobile was unsatisfactory. I was with them for 3 months and had to switch to a different carrier because I couldn’t handle my phone only working 70% of the time.
Wind Mobile has the best rates in town, which is what drew me in, however YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
Here is what I experienced in my 3 months with Wind:
–Terrible reception
–Text messages that didn’t go through
–Complete loss of network
–Dropped calls
I switched carriers today, and am so so so happy. It felt good to only pay $ 50/​month for unlimited everything etc. But it feels even better to have a phone that works all the time, as it’s supposed to.

This is a great Wind Mobile location. The staff are more than willing to walk you through all the products and services they provide. I knew nothing about phones — except that I needed one. I walked in with a cell phone I had purchased from the online, pulled it out of the sock I had it wrapped in, and said, «I need this to work with Wind please.»
From there they walked me through the different types of plans, led me to the cheapest one that would do what I needed, and went so far as to put the SIM card in for me (which I was worrying about — because my phone knowledge is almost non existent.
They got me up and running on their WIFI, then showed me how to turn that off and use the data through the network. They also told me who to harangue if my cell number wasn’t ported over (another process they made easy.)
The only thing to be aware of is they assume people can not pass credit checks, and will suggest phones — and plan types — based on that. This is probably beneficial for most people, but it is something to be aware of.
