Fido Data-only
$15 - 3GB

just switch from my Rogers corporate plan (90$ taxes in unlimited everything 10gb and S10+ (300 upfront) to Freedom Mobile

55$ a month
15gb + 3gb
0$ Iphone XR 64gb
200k PC optimum pts (200$)

but selling the XR to cover the cost of switching over from Rogers as I'm still gonna use my S10+

Are there any decent plans which eat upfront costs on new devices any longer?

Wife and I are both on that scam “$60/10GB” plan which is now like $148 per month as it magically went up on its own, so when the new iPhone is released I figure I might as well go back on a term contract to get 2 new devices as opposed to spending 5G’s up front and staying on these stupid 10gb plans..

ditto for myself and wife

Because not everyone wants/needs 10GB. Why pay almost double for something I'm not going to use?

I just moved my old plan over to this. 55 bucks, unlimited data (15gb at full speed) and unlimited calling nation wide and unlimited text. iPhone xr free.

Damn good deal. Todays the last day.

So I'm stuck on an old legacy plan with 2GB for $45 on Fido. Any ideas on how to get a better deal without changing providers? I've called 2 times now and told asked to speak to retentions, threatened to leave, etc. Both times been stonewalled and had the agent shrug their shoulders when I tell them about deals from Freedom or when I tell them I'm going to leave.

I'm not really going over my 2GB limit since I'm on wifi all the time but it would be nice to be bumped up to 4 or 5GB at least just in case.

Just go with freedom mobile. I gave up my Rogers after being with them for over 15 years.

Youd think fido would wanna keep you for a matter of an extra 2gb lol but companies are weird. I'd keep trying retentions and just telling them youd stay if they can just bump you 2 gigs , as 45$ for 4gb or better is pretty decent on plans these days, specially for a "better" provider that's not the big 3

Just saw that freedom deal at the booth at the PNE

Will be def porting over my number and just buying a phone outright if they keep putting deals like that out

^ freedom is legit but there are some coverage issues. it's not the same when it comes to telus / rogers and bell.

As in coverage issues in the lower mainland? Or just going outside of the LML?

Fongo
$0
Unlimited calling as long as I have Wi-Fi hehe
Added 9.99 unlimited texting for 6 months.

Within the LML

Anyone familiar with Chatr (Rogers) or Public (Telus)? After being on Wind/Freedom contracts for years, I went with their prepaid plan a few months ago, but 1.5 Gigs isn't cutting now that I'm in a different line of work.

Public and Chatr have similar $40 (4-4.5 gig) and $50 (8-8.5 gig) plans, but the Chatr plans are promos, subject to change at any time, with 2 and 6 gig standard with the rest as bonus data.

Leaning towards Public. Freedom doesn't seem to offer anything beyobd the 1.5 plan.

Need some advice ... So right now I'm on a Bell flex iPad plan (apparantly it doesn't exist anymore). 5 dollar maintenance fee, and just pay for however much data you use. This was a great deal for me when I didn't live here full time and was traveling back and forth and used as needed. Now that I have moved back full time though, not having an actual number is a hassle especially since my building buzzer system sucks when using fongo.

Realistically, I rarely use phone/text because I just whatsapp / messenger everything. So what's the cheapest, data heavy plan? Any particular deals going on right now ? Thanks in advance!

Connection wise Public is the same as Telus and Chatr is the same as rogers. They save money on cutting things like customer support. Public is all on line you can't call in if you have a problem.

^I honestly haven't needed customer support for anything cell phone related in 17 years that I can recall. I do prefer brick and mortor customer service and physical copies over downloaded content or online purchases.


*On another note, I have found a phone locally of the current generation for sale, which was purchased off ebay and seems to be locked to AT&T. The seller has been unable to get it unlocked and 3rd party stores have told her it's too new to have unlocking software written for it or something of that nature. The price is heavily discounted compared to similar phones. Is this worth looking into or is she or whoever buys it SOL?

60 bucks a month for 10gb data, unlimited Canada wide calling with Koodo

Was on a $49 5gb Quebec plan for a while until Koodo found out (more so of the call center overseas) I didn't have the correct plan and locked me out for getting future contracts.

IPhone? Probably not worth the time and hassle to try to get it unlocked. 3rd party stores are either using software cracks, or getting the unlock on the side like https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/06/...unlock-phones/ I think us unlock rules are more restrictive than Canada's.

Same. Wifey and I have this plan. Probably won't ever change unless something with more data comes out and is cheaper. 5 gigs is plenty for us.

Rogers Infinite
14GB (full speed)
Unltd talk & text
Roam like home
$70

Was with Virgin for 4gb for 40 dollars for about 2 yrs before they changed the price earlier this year for 45 (before tax). I am now with Bell for 8 gb, unlimited talk + text for $50 (56 after taxes).

Was on fido 4gig for $45, got an offer on my fido app for 6gig at $50 (pulse plan). Pretty decent. They also gave me another offer 8gigs at $55 but i'd rather save the 5 bucks since i dont need that much.

When I was shopping around earlier this early Freedom/Chatr etc etc they all said their data is 3g(in the fine print.)

This is from Chatr on their website

Data Management Policy
BONUS DATA OFFER. This offer includes 2 GB of bonus data at 3G speed in addition to the 2 GB already included in the plan. Offer available for a limited time and subject to change without notice.

While Freedom didn't not say if their data is all going to LTE or 4g or 3g. Also their coverage isn't the greatest. Even some area in Van you lose connection.

I rather pay a bit more and go with Fido.
