OK so my incase snap case finally arrives. I put it on my iPhone, everything goes nice and smooth. I take it off a couple hours later...it comes off with my fucking invisible shield stuck to the case....

Haha yeah totally, but I'm not really upset with our plans right now for my dad, mom, and myself is only $120 before tax and we all have decent plans with data. But still I think it's time to go to $100 lol

Its also another reason why so many fido dealers are going under, being selective like this affects the overall stock for big ticket items like these being distributed or even purchasing the items for the company. If smaller chains jsut followed policy and did your HUP. I can almost assure that when the iphone5 rolls along, they will end up with more stock. The faster they sell, the more they can order quicker, the better it will look.

regardless, I kno a few inside that specific dealer(from management to store front). I will tell you that even being related to the store staff, or the staff themselves CANNOT sell or buy any DATA RELATED DEVICE without attaching data.

use retnetions, you can thank revscene later
@ darthchilli, They are attaching data, the process was for them to add the $25 data option and my mom to walk away with an iphone 4, and then I would call back to fido and they would change it back right away. The call centres didn't have any iphones even after I complained and they said I would still have to deal with these stores, but if you guys say I can get the iphone from the call centres please tell me how as the guy told me they don't ship them and all the stock is sent out to the stores

Call retention at: 1-877-288-4240, then press 5

Check out the Fido Retention Plans thread before doing this to know the ins and outs of whats going on ..

But if you just want the iphone, all you need to do is phone in daily 1-2 times a day... and you should have one in no time. (I got mine on the 3rd or 4th day trying) btw you just phone in and ask if they have the iphone.

OMG thanks so much, just called that number on the way back from my grandpa's funeral. Managed to order 2 iphone 4's I am forever greatful!!! lol, thanks to a screw up from fido last week, they accidentally changed my mom's 2013 contract to 2011 and I could renew her plan, funny thing is she just got the 3gs 4 months ago haha, now she's getting a iphone 4 by "extending" her contract for 4 extra months lol sounds like a deal to me

This is really annoying, my gmails are delayed by 3-4 hours
