No contract at the moment and using Virgin's $10 off promotion from Fido -> Virgin switch promotion I got:

the $39 smart plan for $34 ($5 credit for 24 months)
Samsung Galaxy s3 for $100 (instead of $150)

First offer they gave me and I took it. Honestly I probably should have haggled a bit more but oh well.

Awesome deal! was anyone able to replicate this? Does the smart plan include 6gb data?

Best I got so far is

200+Unl.E/WE+Unl. Inc. + LD
6gb
unlimited text international
cd vm

for $50+taxes

with 2 or 3 year HUP

I was told the same thing, so I just got them to give me a $10 credit so I'm paying 50 a month and I still get any iphone 5s I want.

is it worth calling fido retentions if I still have 9 months left on my contract. or should I wait until the contract expires to have more leverage? I've been a customer for 7 years.

I think it's worth it. Might need to try a few times to get the right rep though

Goign to cancel my current contract with Fido ($285 canellation fee) then go on another 2years contract with my corruent padkage and get the S4. is actually cheaper for me to do that than to outright buy the S4.

Is this last year's Holiday Deal + unlimited data add on?

Also, when they say its unlimited data, it is unlimited. I tethered the fuck out of my unlimited data when I had it for 3 months. I used like 15 GB one month. How long do you have unlimited data for?

got sick of paying $72 a month after my credits expired.

so the max credits the forums have been saying are $10, and my guy wouldn't give more than that either.

didn't want to give up my enhanced voicemail even though I don't really know what it is, since I get it lifetime free from previous plans.

Here it is:

200 / Unl. E/WE + F2F 25.00
Credit: -5.00
Enhanced Voice Messaging 6.00
Credit: Enhanced Voice Messaging -6.00
6GB Internet Option 30.00
Credit: -5.00
Tethering Access 0.00
Call Display w/Name Display 0.00
2500 Text Messages 0.00

I had Unl incoming for another $10 a month, but my voice usage is virtually non existent now, so that got canned.

45 + taxes, I'm happy with it.



Please remember to be extremely pleasant to the fido answers and customer relations - it goes a LONG way.

I'm currently with fido and would like to port my number over to Rogers. My billing cycle is on the 12th of every month and my contract ends on Dec 31 2013. What is the procedure to port over my number to Rogers without having to pay an overlaying month with 2 carriers?

Got my fido retention just now

Unlimited incoming and outgoing calls
Unlimited video and text msg worldwide
6 gig data
Call Display with Name Display and WhoCalled
2,500 Call Forwarding Minutes
Visual Voicemail

Upgrading to iphone 5s. I have to pay $230 - $145 fido dollars to upgrade. No transfer fees or any other fees.

$64.00 + tax per month = $71.68

I am currently paying $75.00 + tax = $84.00


I called 611 and spoke to a CSR person. Explained to them all my friends transferred to WIND and that they were happy with the plans over there. Fido will say that WINDS coverage sucks. You tell them that your friends have no problem with the coverage. CSR xfer me to retention department. Thats when they gave me the offer.

If i pressed more, I'm sure i could have gotten a bit more, but I had a number in my mind and as long as they met it I would be happy. So saving $12.32 was good enough for me... thats $150 a year.

Good luck guys.

Painless process. Going to APple store now to get my new iphone 5s
