TORONTO – Wind Mobile has cut its roaming rates for customers in Canada and the U.S. by up to 95% amidst pressure on the wireless industry from the federal government to lower rates on wholesale domestic roaming.
The new wireless entrant said Thursday that its rates are now 15₵/minute for talk (formally 20₵), 5₵/message for text (down from 15₵) and data is now 5₵/MB (previously $1). Wind also said that it has plans to launch faster HSPA+ roaming in Canada.
“Our new domestic roaming rates and roaming network speeds give our customers the freedom to use their phone while travelling anywhere across Canada and the U.S., adding increased value and coverage to our already low-priced plans,” said CMO Mirko Rugarli, in the news release.
