Does anyone have a talk only plan? I used to have the $17.50 plan but they no longer offer it..they were kind enough to give a free phone bak then as well .. Now they are saying $25 is the lowest they'll go and no phone...
I know i'm cheap but anyone get a free phone (non-flop ones) on the cheapest plan?

Regular price $57 now I got $10 off so it makes the plan $47. Not bad at all. | Literally one of the best plans I've seen in this thread in a long time. All these other "deals" people have posted are hardly anything to celebrate. You're essentially rocking Country Fido with 2GB of data for less than what they sold it for 10 years ago.

To get a smartphone you are required to have a plan that has data regardless if it's a new plan or an old one. I believe I will get to keep this plan but my credits may expire which I will call in and ask for some more if possible. If not, it just really depends what I want to do with my plan. In the end it's still worth a whole lot more than what you can get now a days.

My dad's Fido contract expires next month and he asked me for advice. I said I have no idea haha. I'm afraid he'll call Fido and the rep will try to sell him on a "good" deal and he'll say yes because he's not too knowledgable about this stuff.
Right now he has a iphone 4s and wants to upgrade to iphone 6. I have $350 fido bucks saved up over the years that I can give him.
Other than that, what should he negotiate for?
He's definitely not a heavy user. Here's his current plan:
200 mins + unlimited evenings/weekends plus unlimited incoming calls
Unlimited text msgs
500 MB iphone data
Voicemail
Who Called
Unlimited Canadian Long Distance (+ $12/mo)
All of the above for $62/month before tax
Any ideas on kind of advice should I give him?

Before any retention talk
Go take a look at Fido Smart Plan.
Seem like most of the current plans are better than his.

Do I have this right? (Sorry for the noob questions, my work has supplied/paid my phone for many years and it's been a long time since I've looked into personal cell phone plans)
16GB iphone6 for $265 with 2-year MAX plan
24 months @ $80/month = $1920
Phone = $265
Less $265 Fido Dollars
So total cost over 2 years = $1920
OR
16GB iphone6 for $749 with 2-year standard plan
24 months @ $45/month = $1080
Phone = $749
Less $350 Fido Dollars
So total cost over 2 years = $1479
So he's better off going with option B. Am I missing something?

You can't apply Fido Dollars toward monthly plan payments.
Only Hardware upgrade & add-on functions 
Therefore, you are left with Option A

In Option A, the phone would essentially be free (after Fido Dollars) and i'm left with the monthly payments over 2 years = $1920
In Option B, the phone would be $749 - $350 Fido Dollars = $399 plus monthly payments over 2 years = $1479

I'd probably take that deal. For an extra $3 per month, you get a fully subsidized iPhone 6.

I need to renew my contract with Fido, looking at a subsidized iphone 6 ($265).
Not looking to pay $80/month, more towards $50-65.
Need something like
200 mins
caller id/vm
early evening/weekends
text messages
fido to fido
at least 1GB data

How did you manage to keep local number?
That is a good deal.
When my municipal plan is up, Rogers is making ppl sign up for more expensive version if you want iPhone subsidized.
I would rather switch to the plan you are on.

fair enough, but i was reading how other ppl got the $65 plan with an Iphone 6/Plus so that's why I tried
I'm just gonna go with the employer x Rogers plan and lose the fidodollars. still worth the switch.

a lot of people aren't taking the max plans they're offering (typically $80 1gb, $90 4gb) and choosing to use fido dollars on a BYOD plan without contract (i.e. $44.10 750mb, $54 1GB)

I've returned to Canada and looking for data only without a contract. Just IM apps and such when mobile, using wifi at home. Is the Fido $10 150MB LTE Mobile Hotspot flex plan the best for me?
Is there anything out there cheaper? Or something slightly more expensive that has more data? (Fido flex plan jumps to $25 if 1GB is used).
