Would have been nice to have a proper error message like "Purchase failed because there's no SIM card and therefore we don't know who to bill. Please insert a SIM card or add a credit card number to your OVI account and try again". Tyranny of the SIM card and tyranny of the carriers all in one!
I will add a credit card number to my OVI account and try again and post a blog post on what I find. (hopefully not a case of the #maplesyrupcurtain :-) !)

Got my first Wind Mobile bill on the weekend and it says I was "data roaming" when I stayed in the Wind Home zone. It says the following:

I believe this is a bug. I was not in a Wind Away Zone. I spent the whole day of Thursday June 17, 2010 in East Vancouver, and Gastown, all of which are in the Wind Home Zone. Anybody else experience this? Is this really a bug? I'll contact Wind support but love to hear what others have experienced.
