If i don't want to pay the penalty for the data contract, can I just change the data to BlackBerry social networking? Would that count?

1GB is plenty if you don't constantly YouTube, tether, etc. Browsing and e-mail take nearly nothing. Just make sure your apps aren't enormous.

how long does a phone usually take to ship? Is it being shipped locally or from some warehouse in Canada

Decided to stick with the $50 plan they gave me with the 6GB data. Don't think I want to chase the $25+10 (Flex) pipe dream anymore lol, called in 3 times already.

Anyone know any fido places where I can get an iPhone 4S White (32GB)? There were 1-2 left at BestBuys on Saturday, but I had plans so was unable to get one.


Thank yous

Reservation system is no longer in use. You can call 611 to renew your plan/HUP and they will ship it to you.

Just got everything done..

iPhone 4S 32GB (White)
200 Anytime
Unlimited Evening/Weekends @ 5PM
Unlimited Fido2Fido
2500 Texts
Caller ID / Name Display / Enhanced VM
6 GB Data (Tethering allowed)

$50 + tax per month


Going to try this out for 1-2 months, then if I don't need that much data, I will call back to cancel it and switch to Flex Data. $200 early data cancellation fee ($10/month left on plan to a maximum of $200)

That's all the info you guys should need.

$200 for cancellation fee which means

$200 + $159 (16gb) = total price paid for iphone4s?

I got a 32 GB for $200 after fido dollars + 200 = $400 for a $800 phone.. not a bad deal.

And I can choose to stay on my $25 plan, and not get data.

I called retentions 4 times and did a lot of research. Unless you can somehow get them to waive the EDCF, I don't think there is a cheaper alternative to get an iPhone4S without having to add a data plan (To keep your plan at $25 per month).
