In October 2024, Globalive, and their WIND Mobile brand, was denied by the CRTC to launch in Canada.
Then, this past Friday, the Canadian Federal Government overruled the CRTC ruling and allowed Globalive to launch in Canada. With the news of a new major wireless carrier about to hit Canadian shores, everyone was wondering about price plans.
Well it would seem that early WIND Mobile price plans have been revealed:
