Because that won't harm the environment.

i know... this didn't seem like a deal at all. i even stated what another person here got for $55 and she said it might be something that's no longer offered. bitch, it was 2 weeks ago!

Umm Spoon.. i think you got the better end of the deal.

You have unlimited incoming calls. On weekends, just tell that person to call you instead lol. I tried to get that but the rep said that its worth $15..

well the thing is, i don't really need the 6gb. i just wanted to know what kind of offer they would give me. also, i asked if i could adjust my plan to have this 6gb offer after signing for the 500mb offer and she said yes. <--- most important part in case i keep the ip4s

Well, if your plan is over next october (1 more year on contract), I can see why the credit is only there for another year. However, prior to your HUP, you should've negotiated a better plan as well as locking in whatever credits you have.

Hopefully you'll be able to resolve this...

Ya, Fido can't offer better deal even I had been with them for so long.. so I switched to mobilicity too.. so far, I'm happy with mobilicity, no drop call , just no reception inside concrete building / underground parking.. other than that.. their voice + data are ok . hopefully they will improve the reception inside building and expand its coverage zone in the future.

Hmmm I can only see this happening if the "new" plan had credits slated on for one year. If that is the case, I don't see any "wrong doing" perse.

^^ Hey spoon.

The rep offered you the $30Basic plan for you're voice on that's on the website// 200mins + unlimited incoming + Unl EW 5pm + unl text and a $30Retention Value Pack // 500MB + CD + VM + Unl text // picture/vid msg + bonus of 50mins x 36months. So technically it comes to $60 but because that value pack they added on for ya already had unlimited msging as well, its automatically discounted to $55 a month, and the rep was nice enough to add another $5Credit for the duration of you're contract making it $50.

TBH it's gonna be as good as it gets as there's no way they can send you out the iphone4s for any cheaper.

If you get you're bill, i would call back and get the Hardware Upgrade Fee Waived (assuming the first representative never told you about it. If they didnt document that they told you, fido usually waives it for the customer but if its been documented that they have allowed you to know, then they prob wont as they know you're bluffin to cancel)
Hope that helps.

So is Fido offering retention plans with 6GB now? I called two weeks ago and they said they didnt have anything like that...best thing they could offer is 500mb.

Yes. Fido still offers the 6GB for $30. The only thing is that you either already have to have a data commitment or you would have to resign you're commitment for another 2-3yrs. They do not have the option just to add it as a month to month though. But if you're already under a data commitment, it could just replace you're current data contract with the 6GB so ur commitment doesn't change
