Wind Mobile announced today that beginning February 3rd, customers can pay an extra $15 a month for unlimited roaming in the U.S. That means Wind users can take advantage of unlimited calls, texts and data on the cheap when gallivanting around the US instead of coughing up loads of cash for just a few MBs of data.
That's all there is to it — no other fees or catches on this one. New and existing customers will be able to subscribe to the Unlimited U.S. Roaming add-on starting Monday.
