FINALLY got the chance to fix up my parents contracts. I called into cancel for them and said they sent me to retentions and I told them I was offered
200 daytime
Unlimited Wind to Wind
Unlimited weekends / early weekdays @ 5PM
CID pckg
for 15$ before tax
Then, I was offered for both numbers
200 daytime minutes
Unlimited weekends / early weekdays @ 5PM
Unlimited Fido to Fido
2500 Text Messages
CID
No SAF / 911
-10$ credit for CID
22$ before taxes; little under 25$ with taxes
The rep first gave me the above for 25$ before tax, where he credited the CID for 7$ but then I told him I'm looking for the cheapest option. I kept asking for the cheaper option and told him I didn't use the phones a lot (told him to check usage) but he told me you couldn't renew unless your contract was above 20$. My parents wanted new phones so I used their fido dollars, so the phones are pretty much free. I could of haggled for the 17.50$ only if I didn't wanna renew. I'm pretty happy with the plans I guess. Too bad none of my parents text... my dad used 60 mins including weekends / evenings last month LOL
My next step is HUPing my phone to the iPhone 4 in 6 months.. is there less leway when bargaining for a HUP cause my plan sucks nuts right now? if it matters I don't have data on my phone right now. Or would it be a more viable option bargaining after my contract ends in 1 year?

Push for Hide625's plan. That's what seems to be the norm.
as for your mom/dad, shouldn't it be $17.50 for that plan you listed?

I took the plan rightaway since I'm using N1. I hv no intentions of using the iphone4, I'll just end up giving it to my gf

I was so excited to get the phone that I didn't really care about the plan. Anyone know if you can call fido back and renogiate after u sign up for a contract I'm guessing no?

Got this plan through retentions several days ago:
$27.50
call display/voice mail
2500 text
200 daytime
weekend/evenings @5pm
And on top of that some special I get for being a long time customer. (Subtracting $10 each bill until end of contract, so $17.50/month)
Still gotta add that 6gb data before its gone

How's everyone doing today? This is a great thread guys.
I am currently in the end of my 2nd year of a 3-year $40/month plan (Aug 2008-Aug 2011) which includes:
-200 min anytime
-1000 evening & weekends
-200 sms
-Fido to Fido
-Caller ID
-Voicemail
This account is under my mother's name and she's with Fido as well hence the Fido to Fido plan.
My question is: Is there anyway to lower the monthly fee or increase some SMS without any substantial increase? I was thinking about adding a $15 data plan with BBM if possible.
Thank you very much in advance.

yeah, had to sign another 3 yrs but it's ok, been with fido for many yrs now and no problem so far and have a decent phone to use
i guess as a loyal customer, i spoke with retentions and i asked them what they can offer me, then what I want (the necessities) then asked for a little more, they were really easy with me as long as you say, you are comparing what wind and telus offers (never mention rogers cuz it is the sister company)

They offered me $57 for that plan BEFORE taxes and if I change it from 6gb -> 500mb, they gave me $47.50 BEFORE taxes. What a joke lol

Best idea is to not check these threads. Seeing other people's plans make me depressed lol

I know this is unlikely but if I cancel the remainder of my contract with Fido and incur the penalty, can I use my Fido Dollars towards this payment?

Just got off of fido retention.
200 mins
Evenings /weekends 5pm
Unlimited text/ picture and video MSG
Call ID/visual voicemail
500 mb data
45.36 tax included.
Since they don't have any iphone4 available with them they said to find one from another kiosk or apple store and sign with any contract. Phone retention right after and they will change the plan to the retention plan offered? What do you guys think of this plan?
