    Default Wind Mobile offer Bold 9900 so why can't i use my unlocked 9900 with Wind SIM?

    Hello !
    Wind Mobile offer Bold 9900, so why can't I use my unlocked 9900 with Wind SIM? The 9900 was once locked Rogers. I can get it working with Wind Away only at the moment... Did Wind get some 9900 made just for there network or something? Thanks for the help And sorry if this has been covered, I couldn’t find a good answer.

    Your Roger 9900 only works under roaming on Wind's network. Unless you'd like to pay extra, better go with wind 9900 or find an unlocked tmobile phone.

    You'll need a 9900 that can run on AWS networks, which is used by Wind and Mobilicity here in Canada. They use different bands than Rogers, Telus and Bell.

    I strongly recommend getting the 9900 on wind and selling the rogers branded, unlocked 9900.

    That's one way to be able to use the funds to get one that works on wind/mobilicity/t-mobile's 3G AWS 1700 bands 1,4,8.

    Rogers uses 1,2,5,6.

    Wind is terrible don't understand why so many people go there. Sure they offer unlimited plans for cheap but they have such terrible network coverage lol my friend got charged roaming in Mississauga?

    Good luck with it though

    Looks like feedback needs to be provided for the mississauga area. No roaming for me in my area. :P
