So who's got the best plan with 6GB data? My contract is up and I'm going to get Fido to give me a better plan and an iPhone 4S (that I'll probably sell).

I currently have

400 daytime
Fido-to-Fido
Unlimited incoming
Unlimited evenings/weekends after 5pm
Unlimted text/mms
Caller ID
Voicemail
6GB data

$55 + tax per month. Who's got a better one? I've been with Fido over 10 years so I'm pretty sure I can get a better plan. I might just ask them to keep it the same but reduce my rate slightly.

i'm going to call retentions directly. CSR's seem pretty useless when it comes to these things.

SDU, did you just get plan today? I'm looking to renegotiate now (contracts up in March 2012) and I want to get the iPhone 4s (right now I have a dinky LG phone), but I just want flex data. A few months ago Fido screwed me over promising me flex data and I went to cancel my plan, only to find out it wasn't available anymore. It was a pain in the ass to go back to my old plan. I currently have the same plan as yours but without the flex data.

Is it even possible to get the iphone 4s with flex data or do you have to get the min $50 plan? My family and I have been with Fido for nearly 10 years (if that even matters).

was given exactly the samething if you look at the last page. Then i was transfered over to another person and she tried to give me the same $58 plan then said okay i will try and give you something better and gave me more minutes and unlimited incoming on top of what was offered for $58 for $55.

edit: then again $58 for 6gb is still better then paying 60 over dollars. But im just cheap asian LOL.

F2F
Unlimited Canadian LD
6GB

$62 + tax
