Half bullshit, half research. And half timing? (You do the math...) I was paying $35 before for 350 mins/Weekend and 5PM Free/Unlimited text + $7 for CiD and VM.
Note: My contract is ending in 2 months, and I've complained before about dropped calls.
Day 1: First thing I told them was that I will not renew with Fido due to the number of dropped calls I've been getting.
I then told them that my brother (I don't have any siblings) is on Rogers and he NEVER gets dropped calls. I also contacted Rogers any got a couple offers to sign a 3 years plan. They asked me what Rogers offered me and I made up some plan on the spot (not a good idea, do your homework before hand)
So they quickly offered a new plan which saves me about $20 while matching Rogers plan. ($25 for 200 mins/2500 texts/evening/after 5PM/CiD/VM) Then I asked about iPhone 4s, they were sold out so I got them to hold the offer for me until I get an iPhone 4.
Day 2: I did a little homework and scanned the Rogers retentions thread to see what other people got. I wrote down this deal that someone else got ($20 for 300 mins/weekends/evenings after 5PM/2500 text/CiD/VM/Rogers2Rogers)
When I called them again, I had to wait for around 42 minutes before my call was dropped again (ironically enough). When I called again, the first thing I did was bitch about being dropped and how I wasted 42 minutes earlier. The guy was very apologetic and I believe this made my negotiation easier.
I then told him about that $20 plan and told the guy that Rogers offered me this plan and I will be signing a contract with them to get an iPhone 4. The gentlemen then asked to put me on hold for a minute and came back with a new offer: $17.50 for 300 mins/weekends/evenings after 5PM/2500 text/CiD/VM. Once again, I have this offer saved and I'm just waiting to see if I can cop an iPhone 4.
Day 3: I called them again this morning to negotiate my mom's plan from $15(50 mins/50txt) + $7 for CiD to $20(100mins/50txt/CiD) and to ask 'em to ship me an iPhone. Once again iPhones are sold out. I told them I called Rogers again and they do have iPhones in stock; and that they are matching the same plan they offered above for $17.50. I am also willing to cancel my current contract with Fido so I can switch my phone number over before November. The lady told me to hold on for a second and when she came back with:
$17.50
350 Minutes
Weekends/Evenings after 5PM
CiD/VM
2500 Texts
Fido 2 Fido
Step by step enough? Now I'm just trying to call in for my iPhone 4 before the $30 for 6GB ends. Hopefully I can get them to give me $5 credit on the data add-on or 50% off data for the first year AND/OR sell me the 32gig iPhone for the price of the 16gig. Wish me luck.
