[Mr.HappySilp]

New plan for FIDO:
Smart Plans | Plans | Shop | Fido.ca
Max Plans | Plans | Shop | Fido.ca
Looks liek the $57 plan is very good! Includes value pack too
Call Display with Name Display and WhoCalledTM1
Canada-Wide Calling2
Visual Voicemail Plus3
2,500 Call Forwarding minutes4
Just switch my plan to the $57 one

[MTV Cribs]

Got me excited and wanted to switch my plan but the $57 is only available with a 2 year agreement. So for people who originally signed a 3 year agreement and still under that contract, you can't switch to this plan.

[Mr.HappySilp]

^^ Yea you have to get one of those max plans
Here is what the people from Redflags said and

So after Fido messed up my 5$ credit, i complained to the CCTS website that shenmecar posted. Fido got back to me in a couple days and head management was able to find out that the history of my 5$ credit was put under my mothers name, and not transferred under to my new line. They honored it in the end, but was still irritating as fuck

glad it worked out in the end.

you could've gotten a little more greedy and asked for $10 credit, just sayin'

[dn53]

should have, it probably wouldve worked

does that sound reasonable?
Posted via RS Mobile

does that include canada wide text sms and mms?

I have pretty much the same plan with 100 bonus mins (must be renewed)
voicemail and unlimited text canada wide + 100 US texts

for 67 taxed in at rogers, wondering if I should fucking switch out from that scam hole to fidos..

[HonestTea]

^ Trust me, Fido isn't better than Rogers. I'd rather stick with Rogers.

My Rogers plan:

300 weekday minutes
Unlimited Evenings and Weekends after 6pm
Unlimited Incoming Calls
Unlimited text, picture and video
MY-10 Canada Wide
Caller ID + Visual Voicemail
6GB LTE Data + Tether

For $48

But for Fido, called in 8x and requested multiple managers(no one ever called me back) and the best offer I got was $57 for 1GB and $65 for 6GB. Horrible horrible service from Fido, sent in a letter to the OOP and hope I get a call back on Monday.

Edit: The plan from MeowMeow is pretty good, that's what I was pretty much aiming for, for my second line but haven't even gotten a offer even close to that..

Wtf, 48?!
I be happy if its under 60 and I ll sign new contract with them for the note 2.
but they ve told me no about 3 times now.
not sure what tactic I should use this time. thread to cancel again?

[MeowMeow]

Things I've said:

-Wind is cheap. Both of my parents have it and reception works fine at all the places
-I'm cheap student. Need to save money.
-You guys don't have any phones I want (which was true I got iphone5 and sold it)

Don't jump right to the end and say you are canceling
Give them bit of your side of story and ask them what they can do for you & negotiate

Yeah lol I have a feeling an existing credit of either a $10 or $5 is gonna fall off in March and that's when things will get interesting when I call back :

I was paying $42.50 with 500MB before this plan. I just told them I was looking to cancel and want to know how much it is, what I wanted(6GB) and they worked around it. Granted it took me 3 calls, offered $56 with 6GB than the 2nd rep offered the same thing(as they said it's their "best" offer) and the 3rd rep, asked what I want and told him I'd like to keep it around $47 since I was offered 6GB before for an extra $5. He came back and said "is $48 alright?" which I instantly took LOL

You can still use the smart plan with an iPhone 5 though if you work around it.

Either sign up for month to month and buy an iPhone 5 outright, or sign the two year agreement, and sell whatever phone you get from them and pay the difference for the iPhone.

[shenmecar]

nice. 6g for under 50 is rare now.

Yeah, smart plans are for androids, and max plans are for iphone. U can see androids only require 2 year (smart) and iphone require 3 year (max).

I just got that plan though, on a new activation. Got a Gnex for $0. Now Im just waiting 3 months before calling retentions for creditzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Muahahahaha

[NSX]

If you get the $57 plan from PC mobile at a Superstore, PC mobile will eat the $50 cost for the HTC one, and give you $100 PC gift card credit. =)

Hey guys not sure if this is the right place to ask but;

My god sister bought iPhone 4S from Richmond centre fido a month ago
Her phone has been having issues lately so she took it to RC fido whom told her to take it to Apple
When she took it to apple, apple told her something inside wasn't legit? Hence voiding warranty
But she never got her phone fixed before nor replaced anything and no it wasn't one of those refurbished ones
So that means RC fido sold her a fucked up phone.
What can she do about this situation ?

[TRDood]

Go to another Apple store and double check. I find the PC Apple is more helpful than Oakridge and Metro. Just my experience though. Never went to the RC one.

Did she JAILBREAK the phone?

Apple rep might have saw the Cydia app and said the "inside" (software) wasn't legit. They do not give warranty to jailbroken iDevices.

Connect it to itunes and either restore to a pre-jailbroken backup if you still have it.

Otherwise, do a restore from interwebs and it will download a fresh copy of IOS6 to it. Go back to apple and they wont know you had jailbroken it before.

[Sushi604]

LoL... Thats probably what happened, jailbroken phone, warranty void.

You probably will have luck getting it warranted elsewhere. I doubt there is a log that checks if you been to a specific location before.

No it wasn't jail broken. They said part of the device wasn't original Apple product
Anyways they gave her a new phone now. Thanks everyone for responses!

That current plan is with Rogers. I've been getting NOTHING with Fido right now, all the plans I've been offered is $55+

Rogers, about 8 years and Fido 3 years.

[trip]

my talk plan is 17.50 but im paying $30 for my 500mb data

im just looking to get the data part adjusted. just got an s3 and i think $30 for 500mb is retarded.

what are the data pkg options?

im still on contract for another year
