What I wold like to see is something like 7/11 or PC mobile. I'm so sick of Bell and Rogers controling the entire market. The best rate on prepaid from Bell is 30 cent/min. It would be nice to see local rates on all incoming calls. Roaming capable prepaid phones for reasonable rates. $10 unlimited texting. Free caller ID and voicemail, good coverage and low rates. Something like 15 cent/min local and 5 cent LD(20 cents total). The States has Net 10 which has 10 cent/min to anywhere in the country. Why can't we have something similar. Maybe you weren't planning on getting into the prepaid market but if you like competition it may be ideal. Good phones are a must. Or at least get onto the GSM network and let people buy used phones to use wih your service.
No all incoming calls need to be unlimited like everywhere outside North America. $10 unlimited texting? Thats crazy. I pay now $10 for 2500 and really are you going to send more? Texting should be free on all plans as its costs are extremely small for the provider. And give me a break, Wind can't charge for long distance.
Also forget about using an old gsm phone. This is a new network. They only built a 3G network and a 3G network which is different from Roger's. There 3G network is the same as T-Mobile's 3G network so you will need a new phone to be able to be a Wind subscriber.
The rumoured plan is for Globalive (Wind Mobile's Canadian parent company) to launch a second brand which would include pre-paid service. Look for it under their Yak branding that you may already be familiar with for their long distance plans.
