For those who are from Fido considering to switch to Wind.

Fido has got a new retention plan that they may or may not offer but you can certainly negotiate or ask for!

50$ - Unlimited calling Like city fido.

80$ - Unlimited Calling, SMS, 6GB DATA / BB / Regular Data.

There's no SAF and If you want caller id/ voicemail it's another 10$ add on.

Why would you stay with Fido over wind?

Fido:
Better reception, almost rogers/fido towers across the nation.
More reliable.
Won't have to cancel your contract so you don't get charged ECF
Don't have to be on a contract for this offer it can be month to month.
Don't have to sell your phone to get a phone from wind.
More phone selection?

Why Wind?
Well certainly the first 6 months their unl calling is only 22.50 so you save 22.50 x 6 months.
You get to call any no within canada.
Caller id + voicemail is free.
Long Distance is cheaper if your in states it makes out to be .25cents usd/min

And BTW I didn't get offered the plan in fido retentions right away. I knew they had this plan so I asked for the Unl CALLING/ texting + 6gb bb data option and the guy just said sure right away.

i got this plan months ago
and i pay 80 with CiD

i got:

- country fido (same as city fido but unlimited local calling in any city in canada no matter where you go)
- 2500 text msg
- caller id
- voicemail
- no saf
- no contract
- $40

i tried calling again for better deal but that was pretty much it. Still gonna move over to wind cuz of their insanely cheap roaming rates.

Didn't Wind offer like $150 when you switched to offset the ECF? I remember seeing this as a promo awhile back.

I'm with Rogers and pay $67 tax in to for something similar. It's not unlimited calling but 250daytime and unlimited eve/wkd at 6pm which is more than enough for me.

Wind offered that to other cities but not in vancouver.

And darthchilli I woulda probably got CID free too so it would be 80 as well. But I felt bad since I had to ask for the plan! LOL so I don't mind the extra 10.

The guy was just like yeah sure uh huh and let me do whatever basically LOL

Switched over to wind, unlimited data and calls across the nation is awesome

there's no such thing as unlimited nights/weekends with wind. It's either unlimited anytime or just the 100 mins with the $15 package. But you get unlimited calling to/from a wind number.
