Post 8:Rogers,Telus,Bell or Wind?
It seems like most of the mobile phone users in Vancouver choose Rogers, Bell or even Telus when signing up mobile plan contracts. In fact, my current mobile plan is a 17.50 per month(before tax) plan which I signed up two a half years ago. Since it’s approaching the end of the contract, I’ve started to look up those new plans and besides, as I just lost my cell phone, I really want to get a new smart. By comparing those different plans from the mobile companies, the plan Wind offers actually attracts me most.
Let’s take the Blackberry Bold 9700 as an example, for those mobile users who pays monthly payments without signing a contract. Wind has the lowest pay but with a lot more benefit. Here’s a table shows the comparison.
As you can tell from the table, Wind is the leader in every category (Minutes, Data, Unlimited Talk, Text message, Monthly Payments)
Here’s a another example with the $40 plan. Currently, a Blackberry Torch 9800 cost $624.99 without any plans, but 99.99 with a 3-year contract. 
From the table above, we can see that with Wind $40 plan, users have unlimited calls through all provincials and text messages. Users don’t have to pay for the Call ID and they are free to make calls to America. Even though Wind doesn’t have discount for phones, but also users don’t have to sign the 3 year contract with companies. Say for international students, you will be back in hometown for the whole summer, you don’t have to pay for those months. And also not every users can actually do within the limit. Sometimes, there will be more phone calls, or text messages, with unlimited minutes and text, users will feel more comfortable with that.
Related to marketing terms, the plan Wind offers or we could define these as Wind’s marketing strategy is effective as there exist certain group of people are in favor of the n0 contract plan with plans better than the current ones. And if Wind chould solve the signal problem, I guess in the near future there will be more customers as people who would like to keep their current phones will definitely choose the better Winds plan.
Therefore, taking all the pros and cons together, personally, I think Wind is a pretty good choice for smartphone users and I will probably choose Wind when my plan expire.
