WIND Mobile announced yesterday that U.S. roaming is now available for its Pay After (postpaid) customers. It is also expected shortly for prepaid (Pay Before) customers.
Incoming calls while in the U.S., calls within the U.S. or from the U.S. to Canada will cost CA$0.25 per minute. Outgoing text messages will cost CA$0.15 each but incoming texts will be free.
You will need to set up the roaming service before leaving by either visiting a WIND store or calling the Wind Mobile care centre at 1-877-809-4631 (1-877-80-WIND-1).
WIND also announced that in recognition of the start of the Olympics, they have turned on their service in Whistler. Edmonton and Ottawa remain on track for launches this month as well.
Last but not least is that FRING is now enabled on WIND phones and WIND will soon announce some new Blackberry services, including tethering.
