Little word of advice.

After you sign a retention plan, CHECK YOUR BILL!

I negotiated $58 for

200 daytime]
CID + VM } $28
2500 Text ]
6GB Data -$30

For the same thing they add in unlimited text?? for another 10 dollars. and they fucked up the discount on CID so i paid 70 this month..

Also, they said they would credit my account for the sim card i had to buy later. Look at my bill, lo and behold nothing.

i STRONGLY recommend everyone that got a renewal to check their plans and payments carefully

going to call fido tmr and see how things go.. what can i do if they said that this was what you negotiated on..?

Text of what was billed to me

Dec 01 - Dec 31 200 / Unl. E/WE + F2F 25.00
Call Display w/Name Display 7.00
Credit: Call Display Discount -2.07

5 p.m Early Evenings 0.00
Data Access Package 6GB 30.00

Its likely because you made the change in the middle of the billing cycle so your CID credit is messed. It happened to me before too. I just called in and asked if they can credit it fully. Since that is what I was promised.

yeah.. they said it was a prorated charge.. it should work out next month.

Called them today.. they said the CSR messed up my $10 unlimited texting charge. They credited me back $20 and said it shouldn't happen again.

I called in today because I want an Iphone 4s (from blackberry). I'm currently on month 2 month. They offered me:

-200 daytime
-unlimited weekends/evenings @5
-unlimited texts, pic/vid msging
-call id/vm
-500 megs data

for $50 minus a $5 credit so $45 per month before taxes.

I know they're stingy as fuck on credits now and I'm guessing they won't be willing to budge to give out another $5.
I'll try again and see if another rep would be willing to hook it up. If not, I'll probably just take the offer.

Man Phone companies are such bs-ers.

I called for my dad last week to renew his plan in hopes of getting a better deal. He's been with them since 99 and they said the best they can do is 3 dollars and nothing more. I said maybe and to leave it on the account.


Called again today to get that deal but didn't bring it up and just said I was looking for a better deal again. On hold for a bit and now I get 9 dollars off and HUP fee waived.

????????

If 150mb is all you need (I personally use <100mb/mo on data, ~1gb on wifi) then that's not a bad plan at all. Especially if it covers your voice/texting needs.

I have close to the same plan except with 1gb of data comes out to 47.50. That's about as good as it gets for a regular customer.

Just got this plan:

250 daytime
unlim after 7pm and weekends
2500 text
caller id
voicemail

$25 on month to month.

She also gave me fido to fido/rogers free for one month, said that I want to keep this, I can call in after 1 month and sign a contract to make it permanent. Im planning to call in after 1 month to sign a contract to keep it, probably ask for 5pm weeknights too.
