Called Fido here's what retention gave me:

200 daytime minutes
1000 evenings and weekend starting @ 7pm
Unlimited incoming calls with call display
=$25

+ "flexible data plan"
if use 500 mb then $10
if use 1gb then $25

No SAF and no 911 fee. I guess I'm looking between $35-$50 before taxes depending on how much data plan usage.

How's this plan?? Any other recommendations? What should be my next step, if I want more from them??

Fido has been calling me leaving me voicemails and text messages for a few days now and I finally called them back today and got the following.

$35 for unlimited mins
free voicemail and caller ID for the rest of my contract (1 year left)
2500 text messages
SAF waived

I think its pretty good considering you have Unlimited Incoming calls. If you don't need it, I suggest you try and get the $17.50 plan:
200 minutes
Unlimited Evening and Weekends @ 5pm

Should try and get my plan which is 32.50/month
200 minutes
Unlimited Evening and Weekends @ 5pm ($17.50)
2500text/Caller id/voicemail ($5)
Flex data plan ($10)

From what I was told Flex data plan is
<100 MB = $10
100-150 MB = $15
150-500 MB = $20
500-1GB = $25

Teaoh if I cancel my mms and add the $10 flex plan my plan and yours would be the same except I would be paying $30 before tax. Try calling in agian? Basically I have your $17.50+$5 add ons for $20.

teaoh 10-16-2010 07:56 PM

^Hmm I'm not sure if you could cancel the MMS since its a package add-on. Its actually a $10 add on but I was given a $5 credit. If you have the $17.50 + the add ons for $20, thats pretty good already.
I'm pretty sure you can keep the add on and just add flex data plan on top of it. So yeah, if I were you, I would keep trying.

hongy 10-16-2010 08:02 PM

I posted mine up a few pages ago, basically I get
200 day time minutes
2500 text
fido 2 fido
caller id/voice mail
unlimited starting at 5
for $20 a month, they then gave me 100 mms for $5. I was told I can get rid of that at anytime and since at the moment I can't even get it to work on my desire I might as well just switch it for a $10 flex plan. My contract isn't up until march 2011 but I'm going to see if I can get 250mb for $10 since wind has 500mb for $20.

Hide625 10-17-2010 11:52 PM

I just noticed looking @ my account online that they took away my free evenings & weekends away & changed to 1000min. Plus no $10 credit on my first month after re-signing contract. Argh I don't know how they manage to screwthings up...

TreyDoja 10-20-2010 01:37 PM

Here's what I negotiated with Fido for an iPhone 4 + plan.

$45.00 UnZoned City Fido
- $10.00 Discount
$30.00 6 gig Data
- $10.00 Discount
$15.00 iPhone 4 package (unlimited text/mms, visual voicemail, caller ID, etc)
- $5.00 Discount

= $65.00/month + tax = $72.80

Theres no zone restriction for me, so i can go anywhere with a fido network and all calling is unlimited. No system/911 fees.

Fido Retention department is also sending me an iPhone 4 directly.

Have you been with fido for a while?
Or did you use wind mobile to negotiate your contract?

I got my gf the same perks but +50 daytime minutes and for only $42.50

ilvtofu 11-07-2010 09:45 AM

damn that's a good deal
Just noticed
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._3630825_n.jpg
7.0 gb data plan lol

I am actually surprised, Actually using the nationwide texting, I have a close friend who was on my bbm that went to UT recently and after iphone it was hard to talk to her. But yeah now it's all good lol.

I don't really use any of the daytime minutes I wonder if I could trade minutes for visual voicemail, seems like a cool feature

EDIT: Called for my friend who has been quite the asshole of a customer, late bills, didn't pay for 2 months, got account bricked for a month earlier this year. Got this plan with an iphone 4

$47.50
-200 minutes
-Unlimited E/WE @ 5
-Call display, Voicemail
-Unlimited text and picture messaging nationwide
-500mb data
-Fido to fido

Not bad for a shitty customer I guess, used the bell $50 plan to compare,

Si 11-10-2010 03:41 PM

quoted ilvtofu's friend's plan above, just got offered:

200anytime
unlimited 5pm
Fido to Fido
2500txt
CID
VM
100MB - $35
500MB - $45
6GB - $55


Going for the $35...... doubt i'll be using that much data.
Got the 16gb iphone4 with my fidodollars
