Wind tends to have a few promotions throughout the year but like other providers, the three best times tend to be:
1. Back to school (usually cheap talk/text/data)
2. October-ish, when most big manufacturers release their flahship devices (this is hit or miss and usually geared towards getting a specific device)
3. Christmas, because giving someone a recurring bill is apparently a good gift (I still don't get this, lol)
In general though, their plans tend to be pretty rock bottom and picking up service at any point during the year is excellent value. And since there's no service contract you can always alter your plan to take advantage of promos when they come up. I've altered my plan twice in three years.
Frankly, I wouldn't continue paying $85/mth while waiting for a $40/mth plan to become and $35/mth plan.
The biggest barrier is often paying the device cost up front. The cost is really minimized via the WindTab option, which I *highly* recommend using if they have the device that you want.
