Too good to be true? (Fido free data trial)

At the moment I'm with Fido and apparently I got a text from them with this message:

Quote:
Fido msg: Congrats! You've been selected to enjoy a FREE DATA TRIAL. Surf, email, IM & more from now until April 10 for free. Enjoy with our thanks!
The number I received the text was 450016 and I'm just wondering if you guys know if there's any legitimacy behind this?

Currently not on a data plan.

I think its legit, my dad doesn't have a data plan and he was offered a month of free data usage. Not too sure if he got it through text or phone though
