500 mb data

for $50 before taxes.

Right now I'm on the $25 retention plan but I want to add flex data for $10 and get the iphone 4s. Is that even possible? The rep brought up the whole $50 min requirement in order to qualify but it seems that people are able to bypass it. He said people who have a $35 plan with the iphone 4s (retention plan + flex data) must have been penalized in some way, but I don't know if that's true. My family has been with Fido since 1999

just got off retention with Fido too, and wow, customer service today was unbelievably bad. The woman I was talking to had a Singaporean/Malaysian accent didn't really seem like she knew what she was doing

It was possible with a very generous CSR rep but not sure about now, all the plans have gotten more expensive.

contacted fido just now and he said he could give me
150 mins
unlimited incoming
unlimited e/w @5
unlimited text
6 gb data
for $55 and no caller id/voicemail

fucking rediculous! they do document their ref# each time you talk to them but that bitch didnt put the deals she gave me for 6gb and only the 500mb. i asked if they record all calls and the guy said yes and when asked if they can go to that call i had on oct. 11 they said it is only for quality assurance? i asked to talk to the manager but he said "sir all the retention plans were documented on here and there is no offer for 6gb with $55." the threat to cancel does not work as he transfered me to cancel my contract lawl. when i was being transfered i just hung up.

i dont know what to do now, should i just take the $50 plan and negotiate with them after a year or so for more data? so upset!!!!

it's not possible to get an iphone 4s without a data agreement of 25$ or more being the 500mb option or more data, and the total 50$ requirement. But there is a way out you can sign up for the 500mb plan get them to credit you 20-25$ for that month, cancel the data agreement for a penalty of $200 with and sign up for flex data, that way you get the iphone 4s and flex data. (i've done this before on rogers but for a 100$ cancellation fee instead)

btw your plan wasn't bad @ 50$ they offered me the same thing but only with 2500msgs for 57$ before taxes

I think its best for both sides since they dont want to waste time negotiating. Knowing that everyone is just gonna get the iphone4s anyways. Besides isnt it only $25 for 500mb data and $30 for 6gb at rogers? Maybe it will be avaiable for us to upgrade in a few months if we do use over our data

On the first call I got:

200 anytime minutes
unlimited f2f
unlimited e/w @ 5
2500 text
caller id/enhance voicemail
6gb data
for $50

Decent?

I'm trying for the $25 + 10 flex next.

I got a reference number for the $50 plan though and the rep said I can use it at any store to buy the phone with.

I got offered the same deal for the same price except 500 MB instead of 6B, so I say it's a good deal. If you're successful with the $25+10 flex, let me know. I didn't have any luck I might try another day sometime later this week.

Not sure if the 6gb is worth fighting for if u can get a minimal good plan for $50. They might be generous to let u up grade to 6gb for $5 charge in the future.

What do u guys even do to exceed 6gb of data?
