These fidos ones are better cuz they include cross border too to the USA. US providers still charge LD for calls to Canada. Are these fido plans no roaming as well?

The old North America plans from the US were a lot better. It treated all of North America as one calling area without any roaming or long distance fees.

I believe the Fido ones still have roaming fees.

i get 1500 more texts with VM and its 50.58 after taxes lol

[superstanza]

sweet just ordered an iphone through retentions and they added unl. text for the same price when i called last night

[mako]

oh man.. seriously

why do i keep missing out

so you guys just call and ask "do you have iphones in stock?"

[superstanza]

i just told them i been calling fido & apple stores, no iphone. i can get one from bell though. then i ask them what they can do to help me out

[carsncars]

^

I didn't even have to do that. I just called retentions directly, and asked if they had them in stock. She checked, and then I told her I had a plan on file... and the rest just follows.

I was ready with a whole story about asking though. If she asked I was going to say I'd been going to Fido stores for 2-3 weeks and the CSR finally gave me Retentions' number so that I could call and check directly, because they're the only ones that can order them... but she never asked.




Hey, I just got this message:

---
Hardware back order notification
Due to the popularity of the items ordered, we are currently experiencing a backorder. We do apologize and plan to have your order shipped to you as soon as possible. We will inform you by e-mail as soon as your order has been shipped.
---

But I got my ship notice earlier today... and it listed both as shipped?

---
SLB FIDOSSIM3FF
- / 1 unit(s) / Shipped

APPLE IPHN416BLK/WHT GSM Black
IMEI- XXX / 1 unit(s) / Shipped
---

So what's the real story? UPS shows package weight as 1.10 lbs by the way.

[superstanza]

aaw man im hoping i didnt get jewed like that too. did you get the ship notice first and then the bback order notification?

[carsncars]

Ship notice first, then the back order notification like 12 hours later. Odd... Especially because the ship notice clearly says shipped for both items.

Got my mom & Dad a plan, they talk but don't text much

$35
-4000mins
-Unlimited Network Calling (fido/rogers)
-Unlimited Incoming
-50 North American Text messages, good enough for them
-Call display
-Voicemail (extra $2 on top)

Also they both have 3gs but my mom was on a $15 data plan before, now I put them both on a $10 Flex data plan, gives you 100mb per month, if you go over it's less damage then without the flex plan, ie. 500mb would be $30 as opposed to $25 but if you don't use it then yeah. 100 mb good enough to check e-mails, weather, stocks etc. they don't youtube so I figured its alright.

I am kind of jealous my retention plan is $47.50
200 mins
Network Calling
E+W/E @ 5
500 mb BB data
2500 Text
Call Display
Voicemail

I got the same message when I ordered it 1.5 weeks ago but the phone came in two days. If you got your order confirmation, I wouldn't worry too much about that message.

EXACT same thing happened to me .

i got my order 2 days after though.. and then i got 2 more emails a couple days later saying im on back order... which is weird as fuck.

im not sure if their sending me another phone or not lol

[jing]

This is what I was offered:

200 daytime
e/w unlmtd @ 5pm
caller id name display
voice mail or visual voicemail
unltd sms in canada
unltd picture txt
500mb
-----
$47.50 + tax


200 daytime
unltd e/w @ 5pm
6gb data
caller id name display voicemail
2500 sms
---
$57.50 + tax


Will it be worth the extra $10 for 6gb data? I don't even have a laptop so tethering is a bit out of the question lol

[adrnlnrush00]

So here's what Fido offered me:

Unlimited incoming and outgoing calls from within Canada to any number (landline, wireless, digital, or whatever) in Canada or the US.

Unlimited SMS from within Canada to any Canadian or US wireless number.

Regular price is $50 but they gave me a discount of $5 for 36 months; therefore, the voice portion of my plan is $45. No SAF or 911 fee.

iPhone bundle on top adds Visual Voicemail, Caller ID, and Who Called: regular price is $10 but they gave me a full offset of $10 for 36 months. Therefore, cost of bundle is NIL.

Data plan of 6gb for $30 remains unchanged.

Total cost of my voice, iPhone bundle, and data plan is $75 plus HST = $84 all taxes in.

I got my wife the following plan:

250 minutes
Unlimited incoming
Unlimited evenings starting at 5pm and unlimited weekends

The above is $17.50 with no SAF or 911 fee.

Plus,
Visual voicemail
Caller ID
Who called
Unlimited SMS and MMS
500MB
Regular price is $30 but they gave me a credit of $10 for 36 months = $20

Total cost of my wife's plan is $37.50 plus HST = $42

Both the plans, in my opinion, are a pretty good deal so I accepted both of them.

well, i started with im looking to renew my plan, since i have less than a yr left. After that i asked what plans were available. Then told them some friends of mine got a wicked deal on a plan, and i wanted the same thing.

At first i asked for unlimited incoming and all that as well and he said no because thats more than 30$ credit towards my plan, after that we went back and forth negotiating, then finally he gave in and gave me evening starting @ 5 and fido to fido/roger which i already have.

In the end i pretty much got what i was going for, current plan is:

150min
unlimited evening @ 6
fido to fido/rogers
250 txt
VM, CID

for 50$ + tax

NOW when i get my hands on a iphone4

200 daytime
unlimited starting @ 5
VM, CID 2500 text
fido to fido/rogers
6 gig data

47.50$ + tax

[HonestTea]

^ Same plan but +50min and 500mb instead of 6gb

I wanted that plan for $47.50 but they told me no like 4x and they can't do it for that price but I can add $10 more for it, I opted for the 500mb instead since I don't tether.

[DanHibiki]
