over 10 years with them and they wouldnt give me the $55 plan.

went freedom, and I went in knowing reception would be worse etc etc. I get better bars at home with freedom than fido.. LOL

$59 plan 8gb unlimited most things was $50 this past weekend, added a friends and family code and I'm paying $37 a month after taxes.

anyone paying more than $60 with fido is getting ripped off right now.

hows the reception for you?
i'm also planning to switch over to freedom because their offers are so much better

its not for everyone, test it out to see if signal is good enough in your main areas.

it fit my needs perfectly.

Not just you.

My gf and I have the same phone, I put her on a corporate plan with rogers the same as mine ($50 for 5g / unlimited everything else) and things were good, never any reception, connection issues ect.

I asked her if she wanted to switch to fido to get 6gb for 55 dollars instead and also unlimited everything else. She said sure so I made the switch for her, everything worked out great, but now her reception and data connection is much slower than mine.

The only variable that changed here was the carrier. Fido must be the culprit.

That's pretty sad. I got the plan without being a customer.

they can do that lol?

If you're not currently on a contract they can change it whenever they want.

see.lai 10-01-2017 09:21 PM

If you guys call in, you could get a $5 credit / month for 9 months (as compensation for the slight increase in price)

Or, they will offer you a $55 6gig plan. or $65 pulse plan with an iphone 6 on contract.

I took the $5 credit lol.

Tr1ll 10-22-2017 11:37 AM

No iPhone X for Fido :okay:

Yes friend asked about it too. She was told basically if you want the iPhone X on contract switch to one of the big 3. Pretty bad customer service if you ask me.

BillyBishop 10-28-2017 04:57 PM

Fido added a "coming soon" page for the iPhone X to their website.

Fido Retention Plans
 
I think Fido is offering the same plan except theirs is 10 gigs. Rogers is 5 gigs + 5 gigs

Fido just gave me 5gb extra for 24 months at no added cost. Logged into my account via website and the offer popped up.

ButterFingers 07-22-2020 10:11 PM

Gave a call to fido and asked for any better deals. Took away my long distance minutes and got an 8GB data + unlimited talk and text for 50 a month:fuckyea:

jjson 07-23-2020 01:36 PM

^Are you month to month with them or contract?

ilovebacon 08-19-2020 09:52 PM

This is a hot deal if you are still with fido 4gb 45$ plan. Too bad I just switched from shaw to telus...

racerman88 08-20-2020 08:10 AM

Fido's raised the price of the 4gb for $45 for a while now. I've been paying $50 for that plan.


Anyone know how the reception will be for shawmobile users? Will it be a hit or miss like the other small companies such as Wind, Freedom, etc? So often, my friend's who use Wind will have no signal and I'll have signal when we're standing in the same area. The $0 for talk and text is quite appealing for the elderly who don't use data.
