WIND Mobile launching unlimited US add-on package February 3rd

In a move that is not only a first for the Canadian telecom industry, but also sure to shake a few feathers with their competition, WIND Mobile has just announced something huge: a $15 flat-fee US add-on that includes unlimited talk, text and yes, data in the United States. 

“With more and more Canadians visiting the United States for work or pleasure, we know how important it is for them to keep in touch with family and friends or take care of business back home,” said Mirko Rugarli, Chief Marketing Officer, WIND Mobile. “This new add-on gives customers the freedom to stay connected to their world while travelling. Consumers will be able to use their smartphone however they like, without limits: check maps if they get lost; update Facebook and Twitter; send photos of their trip; check the local weather – and all for only $15 a month. No more headaches, no more surprises.”

Both new and exisiting WIND clients will have access to this plan when it launches on February 3rd, 2014
