You also get an unlocked phone and some 0 dollar subsidized phone you can craigslist or use as a backup.

I think it's better to buy the phone outright in most cases cause of the $80 plan minimum.

My fido $50 retension plan was considered as "max plan" and still is if i wanted to do hardware upgrade, so I think it is still doable if you try. I got my 5s during boxing day for $129 with 2 year agreement under"max plan" and I'm still on my $50 dollars plan.
Inquired for gf 2 days ago, i can get s5 for $100 with 2 year agreement while staying with her $50 plan

It's sad to see that Fido is no longer a competitive with their price plans. I'm currently on a promo plan from Fido that is meant for minimum usage and to keep the line active (since I no longer live in the country.) However, when I had left, I was paying $55/month unlimited calling, texting and 1 GB data and now I would have to pay $75/month for the first year and $80 for the remaining year to be illegible for an iPhone 6 at the usual subsidized pricing. This 2 year contract non-sense is worthless if we are paying considerably more.

Agreed. It's almost like they're like: Ok force us to go with 2 year contracts. We'll screw everybody even more.
Paying 70-80 bucks a month for a small amount of data is ridonk. On top of that having to pay a few hundred for a subsidized iPhone is even more ridonk.

Y'all need to get on wind. YA the reception isn't as good and stuff but overall I'm way happier than when i was with fido. Unlimited everything and paying $30/mo is worth it.

I am currently contractless with Fido on a $39 plan + 10% discount, includes 600 mb, unlimited messaging, 450 minutes, voicemail, call display. Would Fido force me to get a Max plan in order to do a HUP?
If so, do other carriers offer a better plan for the subsidized iPhones? I'm pretty happy about my plan right now (could always use some more data but it's not crucial).

If you do the math though, you probably save enough over 2 years buying the phone outright and keeping your current plan.

Anywho, yes if you get a subsidized iPhone you have to get their stupid expensive max plan. I bought my last iPhone outright because it was cheaper to but you gotta do the math:
Take the $ of new iPhone plan - $ of your current plan
Multiply by 24
Add the price of the iPhone that's subsidized
See if it's cheaper to buy an unlocked one from Apple.

I thought the way Fido did it was you can get any phone you want on any plan, the amount of discount just varies based on whether its standard, max, etc?
I got the $65 5GB Standard plan that was offered for around a week in August (off contract). When I was signing up for it they ensured me I would be able to get the new iPhone, just with less subsidy.

hmm.. so i'm considering switching over to the shared plan they offered me two weeks ago and try to use that as leverage to waive upgrade fee and get a second phone
beleive it was 8 gigs unlimited everything, some crazy long distance package, split between two people for $140
basically am paying almost 80 now, i'd say about $200 on my HUP fee and then my GF could sell her 5S get out of telus for free and use money for HUP with rogers

This is the first year I won't be pre-ordering. With previous iPhones it was easy - similar sizes and design.
Now I don't know which size to get and I want to hold them in my hand to try out before plunking down that much cash for one.

Just a tip don't order through a browser or computer. I was able to get my 5 unlocked through the Apple Store App on my 4 at the time on wifi, the link on the apple store app went live 2 min before 12AM PST, so I was able to receive my 5 on launch day. Make sure your credit card billing/shipping info is updated and saved on your itunes account for faster processing.
