Right now I'm on the $25 retention plan but I want to add flex data for $10 and get the iphone 4s. Is that even possible? The rep brought up the whole $50 min requirement in order to qualify but it seems that people are able to bypass it. He said people who have a $35 plan with the iphone 4s (retention plan + flex data) must have been penalized in some way, but I don't know if that's true. My family has been with Fido since 1999

just got off retention with Fido too, and wow, customer service today was unbelievably bad. The woman I was talking to had a Singaporean/Malaysian accent didn't really seem like she knew what she was doing

contacted fido just now and he said he could give me
150 mins
unlimited incoming
unlimited e/w @5
unlimited text
6 gb data
for $55 and no caller id/voicemail
fucking rediculous! they do document their ref# each time you talk to them but that bitch didnt put the deals she gave me for 6gb and only the 500mb. i asked if they record all calls and the guy said yes and when asked if they can go to that call i had on oct. 11 they said it is only for quality assurance? i asked to talk to the manager but he said "sir all the retention plans were documented on here and there is no offer for 6gb with $55." the threat to cancel does not work as he transfered me to cancel my contract lawl. when i was being transfered i just hung up.
i dont know what to do now, should i just take the $50 plan and negotiate with them after a year or so for more data? so upset!!!!

Right now I'm on the $25 retention plan but I want to add flex data for $10 and get the iphone 4s. Is that even possible? The rep brought up the whole $50 min requirement in order to qualify but it seems that people are able to bypass it. He said people who have a $35 plan with the iphone 4s (retention plan + flex data) must have been penalized in some way, but I don't know if that's true. My family has been with Fido since 1999 | it's not possible to get an iphone 4s without a data agreement of 25$ or more being the 500mb option or more data, and the total 50$ requirement. But there is a way out you can sign up for the 500mb plan get them to credit you 20-25$ for that month, cancel the data agreement for a penalty of $200 with and sign up for flex data, that way you get the iphone 4s and flex data. (i've done this before on rogers but for a 100$ cancellation fee instead)
btw your plan wasn't bad @ 50$ they offered me the same thing but only with 2500msgs for 57$ before taxes

I think its best for both sides since they dont want to waste time negotiating. Knowing that everyone is just gonna get the iphone4s anyways. Besides isnt it only $25 for 500mb data and $30 for 6gb at rogers? Maybe it will be avaiable for us to upgrade in a few months if we do use over our data

On the first call I got:
200 anytime minutes
unlimited f2f
unlimited e/w @ 5
2500 text
caller id/enhance voicemail
6gb data
for $50
Decent?
I'm trying for the $25 + 10 flex next.
I got a reference number for the $50 plan though and the rep said I can use it at any store to buy the phone with.

If you're successful with the $25+10 flex, let me know. I didn't have any luck  I might try another day sometime later this week.

Not sure if the 6gb is worth fighting for if u can get a minimal good plan for $50. They might be generous to let u up grade to 6gb for $5 charge in the future.
What do u guys even do to exceed 6gb of data?
