anyone know if fido has a retentions department or is it all just one because when I call in, they say there is only one department. It seems last time the girl I spoke to was able to modify my plan and bit where this time the guy I spoke with said 55 is the cheapest for my plan and he cannot credit me more.

what is included with your plan? is it similar to mine on the bill i posted on the last page? i called three times within the past 2 hours, each rep said its the best they can do to modify my plan since i have credits already.

over the years when i called into retention to renew.. i just ask for a credit and they were able to give it to me, lol

my current plan is on a two year contract. i wouldn't mind signing up for a three year contract if they would lower the cost even more, haha

I had 2 years left on my contract when i haggled for that deal. I didn't bothered to get more seeing that my coworker was basically paying $60 for virtually the same plan. Oh wells, i'm with robbers now

Is there a point in telling Retention that I am looking to switch to Rogers? Since they are basically the same company now?
I got a good corporate plan offer from Rogers, but wouldn't mind staying with Fido if they can match/beat Rogers' plan.

$55:
350 Anytime Minutes
Unlimited incoming
Unlimited E & W @ 6pm
Unlimted Text, Picture & Video messaging
Caller ID
Voicemail
3GB data
