^That sounds really good. Unlimited web browsing = unlimited data? Sounds too good to be true.

^ You just have to get NA 3G band frequencies or it will just run on edge.

Do you have to be out of your contract to go for retentions?

Realized today that on our family plan each line comes out to about $45. Considering everyone on the plan is a light user 3 of the lines could probably be on a less than $30 retention plan. Is it possible to go through retentions and break a 4 line family plan into 4 separate plans? D:

^ You can right now
The retention rep will just process your retention contract with the iPhone like normal.
But not sure if they still have any instock. so you might have to wait like couple weeks or months.

You will be able to break the lines up into 4 separate lines if your contract is expiring or has already expired. I used to be on the fido couples plan, and after the 2 year contract, I broke them up into 2 lines no problem.

ask them is there any other plans and you still think it is too expensive

the plan they offer you isn't that great in my opinion
if it has unlimited calling evening and weekends, fido 2 fido and/or unlimited incoming with all those call display, 2500 text for 25 dollars + tax then it's a good deal

Google "Bell UBC Student plan" and tell them of this plan. Fido has a retention plan very similar to this but has 200 daytime minutes instead of 250. They should use this plan to match the bell plan for you.



on a side note:
just got this plan today off retentions:

200 weekday minutes
unlimited evenings and weekends starting at 7pm
unlimited fido/rogers
caller id
voicemail
2500 texts
6gb data

$45 + tax

but now I need to find an iphone 4 before they can implement it since the warehouse didnt have any.

I have a year left on a 3 year contract with the 4 lines. Anyone think I'll be able to break it up and get an iPhone or 2?
