Nice plan then. The true test of course is when your bill comes.

crap, i just realized I put my original post in the Rogers retention plan thread. It was meant for Fido

I was wondering if anyone has gotten the data flex plan since December 1? I was contemplating it for the last week or so, and yesterday (December 8th) was told by various reps on the phone that I could get it. So I went out and bought out my old contract, got the iPhone and signed a 3 year deal. I had to call FIDO again to get data and then they tell me flex data isn't an option anymore! The lowest I could get was $25 for 500mb. I never would have bothered buying out my old contract if I had known flex data wasn't even an option anymore :@

i believe fido has online chat, but you have to wait for the reps to go online and be available

http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/GCT_ContactUs
right in the middle is a live chat option/instructions

Hmmm I have never heard of that option but it does sounds pretty cool!

However, I'm not sure how much success you will have at getting a better plan as everything will be documented and you don't have that 1 on 1 personal connection with the person you're dealing with.

I did a search on www.howardforums.com and it looks like Rogers and Fido are not matching the promo's from wind and mobilicity.

Question:

Is it true that due to recent policy changes with Fido, all new retention deals with voice and data plans cost at least $50, and you cannot receive more credits than the value of your voice plan?

that's what the csr told me, but I renewed my contract back in Sept so I could get the price plan reduced.

i think it depends on which rep you get and when you get the retention plan.
i had a $10 credit added after switching to a retention plan.

so august i signed up for iphone 4 and got the 6GB data with $10 credit
my plan was under $50
back in november i wanted to try out a blackberry so i switched to the blackberry data 6GB option (same price)
and when i got my invoice in December, i lost my $10 credit..
i called in to see what the fuck was up and they were like they have a new policy in place where no plan can be under $50 and the system wont let me enter the $10 credit in the system
and when i modified my plan i also lost that option

so basically im paying $10 more..

moral of story dont modify ur plan.fuckkk i didnt fukn know. thought once u signed a contract it was intact

Why not call and bitch them out?
You agreed to a 3 year contract on the conditions that your plan was UNDER $50.
They basically CHANGED the conditions of the contract, if that's the case, why have contracts in the first place?

I had a similar situation before (where they jacked up my plan for $2.50 for the entire 3 years, and said theres nothing they can do about it) so I bitched them out, and they agreed to give me a one time credit of $2.50 for the remainder of my contract..

Yah I mentioned that I signed a 3 year contract for the price we agreed on
And they countered by saying I breached the contract by changing the data from iPhone to blackberry
I find it pretty ridiculous when they say the system won't allow them to add the 10 credit
I'll call again tomorrow
