Roaming cost: Wind "i-mode PASS/Wap PASS"
I just subscribed to i-mode PASS/Wap PASS. I was charged the €0.9/Kb rate:
30/01/2007 09:40:23 SC*** Regno unito Traffico Internet -- Connessione dati GPRS -- 10825 Byt. 9,514160 This is not what I expected. The €30 allowance didn't last long - and it used up the entire card credit (fortunately, only €1.20) Dave |
F*ing Wind! I used the wap pass in Germany and France in December and I had the normal billing...
|
I suppose this is no great surprise; Wind clearly do not want any of these data offers used outside Italy.
I activated PASS via the internet, but there seems to be no way to deactivate it that way. I cannot send a PASS NO message - no credit. And I cannot top it up from the UK - credit card rejected as noted elsewhere. What happens now? Will Wind debit the €3/month and send the balance negative or will it stay at zero? I don't want to lose the card - I'll be in Italy in the summer. Dave |

Well, it's time to write to Wind... this is a THEIR problem, the public offer is DIFFERENT. Let me know if you need help! Anyway I was in Switzerland last month and I had the correct tariff (luckiness, I used a postpaid :P ): 06/01/2007 13:16:29 wind Traffico Internet Gprs Internet Wind In Zona Extra-Ue 735 K Bytes 11,025000 06/01/2007 09:28:47 wind Traffico Internet Gprs Internet Wind In Zona Extra-Ue 36 K Bytes 0,540000 06/01/2007 01:12:21 wind Traffico Internet Gprs Internet Wind In Zona Extra-Ue 289 K Bytes 4,335000 06/01/2007 01:06:56 wind Traffico Internet Gprs Internet Wind In Zona Extra-Ue 13 K Bytes 0,195000 |

I'll find out in a couple of days what happens when Wind try to deduct €3 for PASS when there's already a negative credit. I'll be in Italy in July. How long before the card expires? Dave |
It seems Wind became semi-organised with their tariff changes over the past few weeks. I was on the Mega-15000 since it was introduced last year and until about 2.5 weeks ago I was still being charged at the OLD rate but suddenly it swapped over to the super expensive EUR 0.9/kb rate around the 2nd week in February. I found this odd as they did tell us all by SMS the price was changing in December but hey, I guess Wind are "organised" and needed 2 months to implement it :-)
Anyway, I'd assume that this new rate of 0.9/kb will now apply to all their data pack offers so in my opinion the only one that is semi-interesting is Mega-15000 which gives a reasonable amount of data for an OK price when roaming. At this price of 30 Euro per month I know of nothing in Belgium (where I spend most of my time) that can compete. |

Wind-Pass roaming in Northern Ireland, all worked perfectly with the right tariff... |
Interesting. Think I'll drop the mega-15000 for this months renewal which I think is on 8/3 and try this wind pass one. Just to be sure I take the correct one - which of these two were you on when it worked in Northern Ireland? If it will work then I think the Pass50 is the one to have :-)

I have the i-mode™ PASS/Wap PASS (which is often referred to as "Wind-pass")
I fear the second one is only for wap/i-mode™, but I could be wrong... |

Money transfer from an italian bank account should work too, not sure how that works though. |
