I called them after considering switching to wind for the Holiday plan. The retentions rep I had was pretty arrogant and basically offered me a plan that was $90/mo a full $50 more than WIND's plan and well above my current retentions plan. After I asked about getting put on the non-zoned city fido the rep said I would pay more to cancel and I would lose credits. I will try and call back tomorrow and see what they say before I make my final decision. It looks like they are using scare tactics now telling you that the signal will fail and you will be crawling back to them.

If you spend most of your time in the lower mainland your reception with WIND/Mobilicity will be fine. Mobilicity reception wasn't as strong back in Nov when I was with them, but they just started and didn't have as many towers as wind, I don't know about right now.
I don't notice any difference in reception with WIND... fido is bs'ing you.
internet speed seems the same as well. Cancelling and porting over was the best move I made.

Sounds decent. Similar offer to what they gave my friend.
2500 texts is quite a bit. More than enough for me at least

25$ tax in should get you (if u just wanna txt, w/o needing unlmted local)
200 daytime
eve week & 5
fido 2 fido
CID, VM
2500 txt
its a bundle deal.. so i dont know how a CSR would seperate the bundle since u only text
realistically i could see them knocking the plan u have now to like maybe 25 before tax if you know how to bargain

Ive called them a coupla times tellin them the situation and they told me to go for the 15$ plan and add unlimited text for 10$ which means gives me 25$ which isnt far from my 35$ pretty good plan.
I was thinking maybe I can tell em that im going to switch to wind since they have unlimited plans for 25$ while im travelling to the "big cities" ...
Eh. so much hassle.

so i called in to fido for the easiest thing for them...just re-new my contract for the same service and same plan...this dj dude kept on insisting that i should pay a little big more...the inner redflagdeal in me wants to keep things as cheap as possible...screw that guy since he just didn't want to give in...what i have will like to keep is the $17.50 plan of
200 daytime
eve week & 5 for 2000mins i tihnk
fido 2 fido
unlimited incoming
CID, VM
100 txt
for roughly $25 all in...he's wanting $25 + tax...i flippin told him that i do not want to add cost when i do not gain anything in service...he said he'll add another 100txt messages on top then i told him that since he's in the giving mood, i'll keep it at 100 and want to pay the exact same price. then he keeps on saying he can't do it...whatta douche.../rant
my question is that can i ask the other 'big 3' to see if they can match what i have?

My phone number is 10+ years old and I was offered the "$45" retention plan... something about unlimited outgoing/incoming call, call display, voice messaging, 2500 texts.
Is that any good? Also I don't have a smartphone atm, but planning on getting one soon... is there a better plan that includes data?

im was offered 60$ unlimited in/out calls from anywhere in canada, unlimited texts (from anywhere in canada) to any # in canada and usa, vm, cid, call display, but i have a 20$ monthly credit, so my monthly is just 40$ plus tax

The best renegotiated retention plan i got is
$50 Unlimited Talk & Text North America (while in canada of course)
$7CID
$10 100mb Flex Data
- $15 in credits
Total before tax $52
the rep let me keep my credits. IF they do take my credits away I'm cancelling on the spot and going to wind or mobi.

Still I only used it for a few months then switched back to Rogers.
