I just want more data so I don't have to watch how much I use...lol
Some months I'm pretty close to the 100mb limit...I could easily go over if I wasn't so stringent on the data usage.
I kinda want to switch to another carrier though, since my phone won't work 3G with fido...

I just called fido today and asked them about possibly cancelling my contract early and switching over to wind. They told me the whole "crappy reception" and bad stuff about wind which i am aware they were gonna say. Then i was told it would be $460 plus 30 days to bail out of the contract. Now my question, is it worth paying the cancellation charge and moving over to wind? My plan is currently the $80 unlimited everything and 6gb data.

How many months is there remaining in your contract?
To make it worth while....your contract should be at least 1 year ish. It will take you at least your first 10 months at Wind, for you to recover your $460 cost.

April 2011 -> April 2013: Appx 24 months. A similar plan wind will probably cost you $50.40 ($45+tax)
24m X $80 = $1920
24m X $50.4 = $1209.60
minus $460 cancellation fee
= $250.40 saved

Wind has the Unbreakable40 right now, which is the $45 plan, but $40 instead.
So, the savings would be slightly better, even.

This is the lowest i can get due to their new policy that $50 monthly plan is mandatory on all iphone, so i basically got the lowest plan. I should be happy ?? lol | See if you can get unlimited SMS. There's a bit more wiggle room.

^so my revised plan is now
$50+tax
-200 weekday min
-unlimt even/weekend
-fido to fido
-2500 txt
-VM, CID, who called
-6GB data from originally 500mb on first negotiated retention
(here is the story, i recived my iphone at the door today. Called and told them i wasnt happy with my retention plan that they gave me and now i want to return the iphone. I left the phone unopen just in case. She basically asked me why didnt i satisfied and i told her the amount i will be paying doesnt include enough data. She told me the best she can do is upsize my data plan and keep the monthly payment as it is. I was thinking i will be happy for 1GB or even 2GB if lucky. But she offered 6GB straight up.. its an offer i couldnt say no lol)

6 GB is available on and off through as a promotion, and consistently through Retentions. 1 GB is no cheaper for them to add than 6 GB. You got a pretty decent plan in terms of new 2011 guidelines... 6 GB = tethering  Posted via RS Mobile | |

re: the $30 6gb deal..
I just got off the line with fido about some other things, but every time I call, I mention the 6gb data option
1st time (making the contract): i was given a single chance to take it. I didn't
2nd time: for being a good customer, we'll give you the chance this one time 3rd time: we'll leave the option on your account so you can add it at any time you like.  I was denied the option-on-account every time before
I'll be adding it in 2 months.... until then, I'm in a wifi zone every where i go with my ipad
The CSR mentioned that the promotion usually comes around when a new smartphone comes out - esp the iphones

Bastards | Always check your statements. At the bottom of it, they should list a contact number for that third party charge so that you can call and cancel their "service".
My buddy is going through that same problem right now. Wife kept paying bills without looking at them until one day he looked and saw that they were being charged around $40 extra a month for the last year for third party charges.
