TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan 30, 2014) - Beginning Monday February 3, 2014, Canadians can stop worrying about roaming fees and start enjoying travel more as today WIND Mobile announces its Unlimited U.S. Roaming add-on, that will give customers unlimited data, talk and text across the United States. WIND Mobile's Unlimited U.S. Roaming add-on will be available for only $15 per month and will offer subscribers complete piece of mind and worry-free travel, anywhere in the USA.

"With more and more Canadians visiting the United States for work or pleasure, we know how important it is for them to keep in touch with family and friends or take care of business back home," said Mirko Rugarli, Chief Marketing Officer, WIND Mobile. "This new add-on gives customers the freedom to stay connected to their world while travelling. Consumers will be able to use their smartphone however they like, without limits: check maps if they get lost; update Facebook and Twitter; send photos of their trip; check the local weather - and all for only $15 a month. No more headaches, no more surprises."

This historic new offering is the latest innovative step by WIND Mobile as they continue to revitalize the Canadian telecom industry. As the first Canadian wireless company to bring true mobile freedom to consumers travelling south of the border, WIND continues to offer customers real value at a time when the telecom industry continues to experience fluctuating rates1 and as more Canadians are hoping to benefit from increased competition2.
