i heard that if you've changed to the new no saf plans, it automatically disqualifies you from hup and retention plans. maybe thats why?

^ name id is when u can see the registered name of the #.
so if i called u, with caller id, u would see my ### on the phone, and with name id, u would see my name even though im not saved in ur contacts
(only certain phones support this)

I ended up renewing with Fido. I ended up with:
200min anytime
Unlimited Incoming
Unlimited Fido to Fido
Unlimited Evening and Weekends at 7
500 MB data
Voicemail
Caller ID
Who Called
2500 Text Messages
1000 Instant Messages
Total is about $62 after taxes. I ended up getting one of the 3G Iphones since I had the Fido dollars to cover it.

The $15 - 150MB is a retention data plan. They have one for the Blackberry also. It's been mentioned on HoFo. When you ask for it they ask you how you heard about it and what not because it hasn't been advertised. But it does exist.

This is what was mentioned on HoFo in one of the Fido threads:
Non-BlackBerry devices:
$15 - 150MB (available with or without term)
$40 - 3GB (available with or without term)
BlackBerry devices:
$15 - 50MB (available with or without term - BIS only)

^
did u get a discounted phone with that?
From what i heard the looop to the "No system fees" is once u have it, u cant get a new phone at discounted price (so when u renew a contract, ur pretty much oding it for nothing)

I called fido today and they quickly offered me:
200 daytime minutes
unlimited weeknights and weekends starting at 7
caller id
voice mail
2500 texts
fido to fido
NO saf and no 911
All for $25 plus tax
I told him I will call back since i have to think about it and he said this offers lasts 30 days
So i call back about 2 hrs later saying i want to accept the plan and this lady says, "oh sorry I can't give you this plan" I was like why not the man i talked to earlier said I have 30 days to get this plan. She then says well you are on a basic plan right now and we are unable to offer plan to customers with a basic package.
So is this true or what the hell is going on? I have been with fido for 9 months now, so do I have to wait longer until I can get a retention plan or do I not qualify for a retention plan because I got a contract once the no saf came into effect?
Thanks in advance
