Just to clarify on this; their "unlimited" plans are from a Wind Zone to Alberta or Canada.

I did the same thing for my son. So instead of a $30 plan on Bell with no data, we have a $33 plan on Wind that includes data. The $40 plan was on sale for $33. For $3 it gives us international texting, and international calling comperable to landlines.

My biggest concern was the data roaming. I know it could be easy for a teenager to not notice he is roaming. However Wind lets you disable and or all of data roaming, text roaming, or call roaming. I just disabled data. If he is outside the zone and sends a bunch of texts; that will cost me a couple of dollars. If he is outside the zone and starts watching Youtube; that could easily get to $50 at $1 per MB.
