1GB is pretty good - the rep offered me the same plan and SAME price for 150MB and she wouldnt budge.. i tried to get 500MB and she wouldnt budge

on another note, the reps told me that she can only give me 1 credit on an invoice and there is a $5 credit and a $10 credit.

Does anyone else on their invoice have 2 by any chance?

My old fido plan was a retention plan and I got 2 credits..

200 + Unl. E/WE + 1000 F2F 20.00
Credit: Monthly credit of $10 -10.00
Credit: Monthly credit of $5 -5.00
Value pack 16.00
9-1-1 Emergency Access Fee 0.50
System access fee 6.95

If you don't get a plan you like hang up and try again. Maybe try close to closing time and it really helped that I'm indecisive by nature so the lady kept offering me something better.

i have two credits on my account..

as far as I know it's not the number of credits, more so the amount..
i think they can't credit you more than what your bare voicemail price is .. [ask them for a breakdown of prices]

my voiceplan is $17.50 so they can only credit up to $15 and not $20 [5 dollar increments maybe ?]

i'm not too sure about this though..

I'm kind of in the same situation as Vansterdam.

I have about a year and a half left on my contract, is it possible that I can go through retentions? or is it better off that I wait until my contract expires?

I'm kind of tired of paying $90/month on my cellphone bill.

Help!!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys.

I need some help. I am with another cell company and they want a bill from a 'competitor'. I told them my friend has a good plan with Fido and that they were offering the same. He said fax him a copy.

I know I'm asking a lot, but what I need is page 3 of a bill. Name, address, phone number and account number ARE NOT NEEDED. I have adobe and can be edited out.

IN RETURN, I am willing to send a copy of mine which is ALSO pretty good and includes:

200 Local Min, 100 Long Distance, 5pm nights & wkds, My 5, Unlim Incoming, Text 250.

All for $22 TAXES and SAF INCLUDED

So anyone that can help please do. spammin@ymail.com

Wouldn't really offer me a retention plan as I was on one of their "new plans" already which didn't have the SAF

but I think I ended up with an okay deal

-100 mins
-unlimited network calling
-unlimited early evenings and weekends
-unlimited local text messaging
-150mb data
-caller ID

first 3 months free works out to about $42 dollars a month
This is renewing for 2 years btw, but no phone
