Just recently I switch my mobile carrier from Rogers to WIND Mobile. Their Holiday Miracle plan was just to good to pass up – even paying the penalty to break my Rogers contract I will still save money in the long run.
Anyway, once the number got transferred over, I didn’t have a 3G connection, even after selecting the WIND Home APN. After a bit of google, it seems that what I had to do is to setup an APN. In case I can’t find it later, here are the APN settings:
| APN | mms.WINDmobile.ca |
| Proxy | <Not Set> |
| Port | <Not Set> |
| Username | <Not Set> |
| Password | <Not Set> |
| Server | <Not Set> |
| MMSC | http://mms.WINDmobile.ca |
| MMS proxy | 74.115.197.70 |
| MMS port | 8080 |
| MMC | 302 |
| MNC | 490 |
| Authentication type | <Not set> |
| APN type | mms |
After setting this up, bingo, got my 3G connection going.

How is the coverage? When a buddy tried it last year it was spotty and unusable. Is it good now?

The only place I’ve had flakey reception was when I was in the middle of the south side soccer centre. Otherwise, no complaints.
