I would love to hear back from anyone using this device and how there invoice increases when you are out of the "Home" Zone.
I borrowed a Wind Data Stick from a neighbor earlier this week and was quite amazed at the speeds I obtained compared with my current only viable alternate which I have, the Rogers Portable Modem.
I checked the Wind Web Site and was surprised to see that my location is approximately 1km outside the Wind "Home" Zone. Anyway I decide to call and ask what charges would be incurred if any, if I were to connect from outside this "Home" Zone. I almost fell off my chair and think I immediately went deaf because I was sure she told me 25 cents, per 10k. I asked again, the reply was the same. I hope I heard wrong and she was saying .25 cents but still, it is not what I hoped for.
I asked how accurate the map coverage area was, she said it could vary by as much as 1km. I heard that correctly, 1 km.
I then asked how I would know, if I were in the "Home" Zone, or outside.? Her reply was, "There is no way to tell, until you get your Bill".
I then asked for my closets Store, she asked for my Postal Code, I told her and she said, we cannot supply you a Data Stick, you are NOT in our coverage Zone.
I gave up at that point.
Does anyone here have any clue, as to how to tell if I am in the "Home" Zone or outside.? Does a Wind Phone, tell you this information.? Because apparently the Data Stick does NOT.
