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 = =

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.

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

Berz out.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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