EDIT: Been with them for 7 years.

Do you care if sometimes you lose reception even if your in the mobilicity zone? I've been with wind for two months and gonna go back to Fido soon.
I mean I live in van and don't go out to chiliwack or whiterock often but damn I lose reception even in Vancouver, it'll go away for about 5mins then come back. Its really annoying

I honestly don't really care, as I barely talk on the phone. I text 95% of the time.

I am in Vancouver most of the time, so it should be OK. It's hard to turn down a 53% monthly saving on your phone bill.

Oh man.. I called and got offered:
17.50 Unlimited E/W @ 5 + F2F2R
$30 BB Value Pack w/ CID,VM, Unlimited Txt/MMS, 500MB BB Data
= $47.50 + HST

OR

The same plan as above for $52.50 with the ability to bump up my data to 1GB if I go over 500MB.

OR

$17.50 voice plan as above + $10 Value Pack w/ CID/VM/Unlimited Txt + $30 for 6GB BB Data
Which comes up to $57.50 + HST

I don't know which one I should go for cuz I don't want to get tether for BlackBerry = =

6insomnia9 09-30-2011 06:38 PM

thats what i got offered too, ill wait til iphone5 and maybe sign a contract.

then sell the phone

SiRV 10-06-2011 11:03 AM

200 minutes
Unlimited Evening @5 and Weekend
Unlimited Fido to Fido
Enhanced Voice Messeging
2500 text messages
Expanded Network
(above for $25)

In addition... I have a flex data plan..
last month I used 498 mb (no I wasn't keeping track)
and the data cost me $20

Total came to:
45$ + ( Fido usage 2.50 ) + (HST 5.70) --> $53.20

moky 10-06-2011 12:07 PM

i just lost one of my 10$ credits last month.
called it in to fido, but they said they couldn't do anything about it, not even signing a contract would help. sigh :(

dyan 10-06-2011 01:12 PM

200 daytime min
umlim e/w 5pm-8am
umlim fido-fido

$28

Do you think i could get data for cheaper? because the rep said it was strictly $25 for 500mb or 6GB for $30

6insomnia9 10-06-2011 01:16 PM

There is a 100mb option for 10 bucks I think.

Would that work with getting a smartphone?

Exactly the plan I just got. Everything is the same. They said you need a minimum 25$ data plan for use with smart phones but the 6 gig option is only available as a promotion until today.

I also get a free iPhone4S with my renewal. I am put on the waiting list though so who knows when I'll actually get it.

Berz out.

dyan 10-06-2011 02:55 PM

^
the fuck berz?!?! the rep said i needed to wait till the phone was out first..

:fuuuuu:

Berzerker 10-06-2011 03:05 PM

It's out today so you have to go on the fido.com web site and get on the list there.

Berz out.

shawn79 10-06-2011 03:06 PM

can i get a retention plan under $50 with data then sign a contract with fido to get iphone4s?

BillyBishop 10-06-2011 11:41 PM

According to the half-dozen reps I've talked to in the past year, all plans with data signed on or after December 1st 2010 need to be at least $50. If it's under, the system will automatically bump your bill up to $50.

I signed my plan in November.. that's why my plan can be under $50. :fuckyea:

TRDeol 10-06-2011 11:47 PM

fidos website is down, cant login to reserve :(

spoon.ek9 10-07-2011 11:18 AM

ok wtf... i don't want a plan that's $50 min before taxes that's bullshit.

current plan:

200 anytime mins
2500 text
unlimited evenings 5pm/weekends
fido to fido
fido to rogers
call display
voice mail

$36.40 after taxes, contract expires Nov 2011.

i just picked up a blackberry outside of Fido and i'm looking to add data while keeping this under $50. is the $10/100mb add on my only option? :(

Santofu 10-07-2011 11:21 AM

Unfortnately, 100mb isn't compatible with blackberry. The only choice you can get for $10 dollars is bbm plan, there are two options... email, fb and bbm or msn, fb and bbm.

spoon.ek9 10-07-2011 11:35 AM

oh okay, see if it's only $10 for one of those two options, i'll just get either one.

i sure as hell am not going to pay $50 + tax :fuckthatshit:

I have this exact plan right now, but I pay $25+tax.

Going to see if I can add 500mb or 1gb to my plan for 10-15$, since my plan has ended and I'm renewing another 3 year contract. :alone:

spoon.ek9 10-07-2011 11:51 AM

i'm just a tad concerned that Fido hasn't yet approached me to renew/sign a new contract.

wix 10-07-2011 11:53 AM

Oh really? They called and texted me sooo many times lol..


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 02:04 PM.
