Edge is part of GSM.  Wind doesn't offer any GSM service, so if you 
don't have an AWS phone for Wind, you won't get anything.  However, if 
your AWS phone supports GSM, you will have GSM/Edge service on Rogers.

I have done cell site work for both Rogers and Wind.

Also, it'd be nice if Wind and Mobilicity would team up, along with 
Videotron, Eastlink and any other AWS carrier to provide better service 
coverage for all of them.  I can see Public Mobile going with Telus, as 
they already roam with them.  Regardless, I don't want to see any of 
them taken over by Rogers/Telus/Bell, as that would remove sorely needed 
competition from Canada.  If they can't make it on their own, the 
government should allow them to go with a foreign carrier.
