TORONTO – Wind Mobile has added a new, unnamed domestic partner network in a move that has allowed it to expand its coverage area by 14% nationwide.
The new wireless entrant said Tuesday that it has added 177,000 square kilometers of coverage outside of the Wind Unlimited zone, meaning it now covers 1.2 million square kilometers across Canada and reaches 97% of the population. According to sources, that new partner is Telus.
“Our data shows that Canadians living in our Unlimited coverage areas do tend to travel outside of their home zone for work or pleasure,” said chief marketing officer, Mirko Rugarli, in the news release. “That’s why at Wind, we are dedicated to improving our customers’ experience across Canada and the U.S. – providing them with the freedom to use their phone when they travel. We’ve also been listening to customer feedback and have continued to extend our Unlimited footprint, most recently adding Brantford, with even more aggressive plans for expansion planned for the coming year.”
