Looking for cheap plans

I'm currently using Fido's prepaid account and am paying roughly $30/ month.

I'm looking for a plan that is relatively cheap, 50min day time is fine (if it's to the second billing), with unlimited evening that starts at 5-6pm (hopefully 5pm). Possibly staying with Fido. Do you guys have any suggestions of how I should approach this?

If you walk in a Fido store, would they work out a deal for you? or they can't do anything unless I call in?

I think fido's got some 15-20$ plans with 50-100mins but evenings are at 7. I don't think you can call fido crs right away, usually a few months into your contract.

Ah just remember that almost all plans do not include things like voice mail or caller id

Fido has a plan for $20:
50 min anytime
Unlimited Evening and Weekends at 7pm
50 text messages

If you want early evenings to start at 5pm, you can add it for $6. So your total then is $26 and no system access fee.

Well I end up getting a $25 plan. I have to add call id and voice mail etc etc and it came to $40 a month.

Do they still do iphone without dataplan? I went and ask and they said no.

You can get it without a data plan, but gotta pay full price for the phone then.

I've called fido a few times already. I don't feel like bugging them unless it's very important.

what is Unlimited Mobile Browsing?

Does that mean that I can check email using my phone and it's unlimited?

thanks guys. I appreciated your help!

my contract with Fido is ending soon..

i need a cheaper plan with any company since i'm still a student. I'm starting to find myself in a position where I don't chatt on my phone as much since I spend most of my time in class or studying.

here are my absolute minimum requirements:

100 minutes
50 txt msgs
caller ID

I don't really need voicemail, billing by the second, unlimted after a certain time, and free when calling from the same company. I just need a simple, cheap, student (if this even matter) plan.

what is the best possible price I can get after all the system access fee, and 911 fee? Which company should I lean toward?

It's typically cheaper to stay with the carrier you have. Just talk to their retentions department. If you go to a different provider then you'll probably just get stuck with their typical plans that you can find on their website.
