^ yes, if you mean your contract no longer is valid cuz it ended
no if you don't have a contract with fido to begin with
but if you just renewed i guess you could call in and 'modify' your plan

I've got a note left in my account for a new retentions plan, it's the $50 unzoned Canada & US plan (unlimited text, sms and voice) and an additional $30 for the Blackberry Value Pack (500mb data, voicemail, caller id, unlimited txt). So with tax, it should still be under $90 which I guess is a pretty good plan. I haven't decided if I'm going to take it yet.
Current Plan ($52 tax incl):
200 min anytime
unlimited evenings & weekends at 5pm
unlimited txt messaging
Blackberry Value Pack

So I'd negotiated this in September:
$17.50 EPP 200 min/5 pm evenings & weekends
$30.00 iPhone Value Pack CID/Visual VM/unlimited SMS & MMS/500 MB
- $5.00 credit
= $42.50/month
However, the CSR had told me that tethering was included--it wasn't, which I found out last week, so I called in. People make mistakes so I was ready to accept that they couldn't do anything, but they offered this:
$17.50 EPP 200 min/5 pm evenings & weekends
$30.00 6 GB data
$10.00 Value Pack CID/VM/2500 SMS
- $5.00 credit
- $10.00 credit ("renewable")
= $42.50/month
Same price as before, but I lose Visual VM and unlimited SMS/MMS in favour of 6 GB data. I leapt at it because I don't really MMS at all, don't care about voicemail at all, and don't send more than 1000-1500 texts/month.
My only concern is the "renewable" $10 credit. He said it would expire in a year, but that I could call in just before then to get it renewed ("guaranteed"). Does this sound fishy at all?
I have his name and the transaction number and told him to note that it would be renewable, but I'm not sure why they can't add it as a 3-year credit like my $5 credit..?

$42.50 + HST = $47.60 
Pretty happy with it. My friend has similar with 1 Gb for $37.50, which i'd love, but I doubt that's going to happen.

There is a long distance option that falls under their promo so they should be able to credit that to you for some amount of time (like 3 years).
Its 100 long distance minutes but some people have gotten up to 1000 credited to their accounts.
The general retention play for the EPP (17.50) should do fit your needs adequately along with the CID, VD package.

You have to be with Fido for 3 months in order to qualify for retention plans right?

But if I'm not on a contract? I switched to Fido for the unlimited plan they had awhile back. I would like to negotiate some sort of Canada LD and flex data onto my plan. Thanks.

Thanks. | So are/were you on pay as you go plans (monthly plans) or were you on a 3-year plan that has expired?
If it is the latter, you can probably negotiate something but if it is a pay as you go plan, I'm not sure if you'll have much leverage.

I'm more of the former. I actually signed up in early February but I decided not to sign a contract so I could have some flexibility.

I negotiated this plan a while back:
$17.50 retention + $10 CID/VM + $10 100mb flex-data - $7/month credit (expires <1yr)
Is this pretty much the best I can do? I kinda want more data, but don't want to pay much more.

I was able to get a retention plan no problem. Problem though is to get the retention plan, you're going to need to be put on a contract.

I'm not against signing a contract if the right plan comes along.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help! | Just remember, everyone starts out with a decent retention plan. You just need to build on it over the years. No one starts out with a kick ass plan, you just have to work at it to make it really good.
I remember my first plan was the default 20 dollar plan that was:
150 daytime
Unlimited evenings/weekends (8PM to 8AM)
Caller ID, Voicemail
That was basically it. I think I may have had 50 text messages? But that was it then you added SAF + 911 which was an extra 7 dollars that resulted in a 30 dollar bill.
Now I have:
350 daytime
Unlimited evenings/weekends (6PM to 7AM)
Call ID/Name Display, Voicemail
2500 Texts
Rogers to rogers
All for 22 or 23 dollars with tax and fees.
Point is that you need to play the game to get better at it.

I kinda want more data, but don't want to pay much more. | flex data means that regardless of how much you use, you'll be paying 10$ for 100mb, if say you go over and use 101mb, then you pay 15 (up to 150mb i believe) and so on so forth. it's actually not that bad. unless you were going to tether, stream and youtube and what not, i dont see any reason to "want more data"
