you do not have to renew your voice agreement, all you have to do is sign a new agreement just on the data portion of your plan. i just called in today and did so, here's the details...

current voice plan under agreement from nov 2008 - nov 2011
current data plan without agreement
new data plan added ($30, 6gb) under agreement from jun 2009 - jun 2012
voice plan agreement remains unchanged

also i asked about my options on getting a new iphone 3g s, i currently have 3 lines with fido, 2 with data and 1 without. one the 1 without the contract is open for renewal but i was told that data is mandatory to get an iphone 3g s at the subsidized price under a new agreement. if you dont want data then you have to pay full price for the handset (thumbs down) but you dont have to sign a new agreement (thumbs up). dude wouldnt release the pricing, he said to call back on june 19 for that info.

Yuppp for the new iphone its actually available without a term but obviously will be full price which is probably around 7bills but old one was only available with agreement

date plan for iphone is rip off

6gb of data for $30 is acutally a good, it is virtually unlimited data, the only way i see someone chewing through that is with tethering.

512mb of data is sufficient for most iphone users, myself i only go through 100-400mb per month. i rip off is that there is no affordable 512mb or 1gb data plan. you can get 6gb for $30 so you should be able to get 1gb for $10.

if these fuckers thought like that they almost every one of their clients would have 1gb data plans at $10 a pop. instead they ransom you with the iphone 3g S and make it mandatory to get a data plan. who in their right mind is going to pay $25 for 500mb when you can get 6gb for $30? there is no affordable data plan, i have the 6gb and it is great but i am not tethering right now and its a fucking waste. shit i could live with even 512mb if it was cheaper.

Nope, it took effective as of the 9th of june.
but does expire july 1st

well, i just got this plan today. i am a very happy camper, i will never have to use wifi again!

so am i able to call them and just add this on my account?

yes

so do i have to sign a 3y data plan agreenment to get this 6gb $30 or can i just get it added to my existing line? without gettin a contract on voice plan? also do i have to have a iphone or somthing on my acc? cuz i havent renewed in years since old skool 8390

Yes, you have to sign up for a 3-year data plan agreement which is something added to your line. It is not a new line.

You guys w/o iphones or didn't sign up with an iphone able to call and add in the promo?
Is the expiry date July 1st? or can someone correct me. Thanks.

i didnt have to....

Did the fido csr say specifically no 3 year data term? Lucky you but I don't think this great deal comes month to month...

im with rogers, and no, they didnt say anything about a 3 year term. all i said was that i heard the 6gb plan is back and that i wanted to switch from my 1gb to the 6gb and the girl said yes.

the 6gb data plan from fido/rogers is a promo and a 3 year commitment to the service is mandatory. if you choose to cancel the service before then there is a $100 ECF.

Check with them just exactly they did to your data. Most likely they renewed your data contract from that day forwards.

Spoke with rogers, my blackberry was eligible for the 6gb plan, so I jumped all over it like a fat kid on doughnuts.

Im currently using a non-NAM N96 with HSDPA 900 / 2100,
Will I still be able to add the plan?
Or will they tell me that im not using a 3G compatible phone and not let me get this plan?

they offered it to me when i called rogers. I have a non nam n82. I have it now but i also had rogers send me a iphone 3gs. Why dont you just call them, whats the worst thats going to happen? They say no?

They don't care what phone you have.

i'm getting it, i don't like be limited! lol

Tethering isn't allowed any more and that blows chunks. I am not happy.

It's still allowed. Just not with plans of 500mb or less a month.

It is not. I have the 6GB plan and it's no longer allowed. That's what I've been shown from Rogers. Only allowed for iPhones. Unless you know something that I don't...

I gave in and got the plan. Lol.
They gave it to me for 25/month for 6gb on a 3 year agreement.
