I'm willing to jump on this deal,but how to get other credits if it's a new sign up and not an upgrade?
-$50 device upgrade credit
- -$29 royalty credit
- waive $25 upgrade fee

yeah. BB rep told me to call fido and see if can they match..
but nope..
3:27 PM fido-rep:
So, I've taken a look at the offer from best buy. The offer is for brand new activations only, not on upgrades. To upgrade your service, you wouldn't qualify for this pricing. The other consideration is that you have to be using a Max plan to get the 0$ pricing, our Max plans start at 80$ per month.

I'm a little confused. If the LG G4 phone is free (from the save $200), what will you do with the $50 device upgrade credit? And what is the $25 upgrade for if you are a new customer? And I don't see those credits on the BB site anymore. Am I missing something here?

I'm also interested in this plan... Not sure if I should go with the $70 with 1GB data plan or $80 with 2GB data plan. Probably will be using the phone quite a bit for browsing and checking emails. Any thoughts? TIA!!

Time to say good bye to Fido.
It was nice being with them for 10 years.
I will still leave their home phone, unless it goes in price after I port out.

I will see if I can get iPhone and still keep my $25 plan + $30 data add on.

It seems like the deal is dead as the price is changed to $124.99.
I got confirmed from a bestbuy rep in Burnaby, that deal was for a max plan. Too bad.

So now I still keep my old $39 smart plan without contract (450 weekday mins + 600MB data +voicemail +call display, unlimited text and evening/weekend mins... ) and wait for a good deal on a new phone.
All the new smart plans on Fido.ca are so dumb.

For your situation, why not use Cityfone?

400 Canada-wide minutes
Unlimited evenings and weekends (6PM)
1GB of data
Unlimited international texting
Unlimited picture/video texting
VM, CID, etc.

An extra 400MB for a dollar

How can you get this? Is anybody entitle to the $79 credit when renew with fido?

Sigh, missed it when it was 200$ off. With just 75$ off, do you guys think it's still a good deal? Oneplus 2 invites are more available now and that ends up costing more than this still, and LG is probably a preferable manufacturer.

The G4 is sort of like $15 x 24 = $360 because you have to pay $15 more per month if you don't BYOD. It becomes $19.5 x 24 = $468 if this means I don't get the second line discount too, haven't quite figured out how that will work. Oneplus 2 will probably cost more after shipping + duties.

Probably a hassle dealing with getting a Moto X Pure from the states if considering possible duties etc. too.

Wow so cool. Did you go to BestBuy or was this done by phone?
Also, how can one be eligible for royalty credit?

How did you get Moto to ship you a phone? Did you ship to a US address? Did you pay with a US issued account?

I tried to get a Moto Pure and ship it to the US but it got shot down at last second. I heard they want a US issued account to verify ...
He .... looka lika MAN!
I tell you every ting!

If only this was for renewal, $0 on a 2 yr smart plan for G4 would've been smoking hot. S6 is $400 on 2 yr smart plan I believe, & the phones are pretty comparable IMO (I owned both)

Yes I shipped it to a US address.
First time I ordered it and I paid with my Sears card so I could avoid the hideous conversion fee,Sears won't you allow to add a second address on your account,so I used the common way to get a zip code out of the digits of my Candian postal code,the problem the system flagged the order becuase the shipping address is not matching the fake billing address,so I called them and reviewed everything with me,and said they will escalate the case to their review team to make a decision,after 3 days they emailed me telling me the order is cancelled.
I called Capital one (Aspire travel world elite mastercard) ,and they gladly added my uncle's house as a billing address ,so I have right now two billing addresses ,one Canadian and the other one is US address.I was surprised they could do it,I wasn't sure it will work,but the agent was so sure it'll work and they won't know that my credit card is Canadian,and she told me the change will takes place right away (I tried many times to do that in the past with Amex,MBNA,CIBC and TD and all my tries had failed).
I hung up with her ,tried to purchase ,it didn't go through ,I was so upset so I decided to wait for 24 hours, the next day the order went through,but the system flagged my order again due being I ordered out of the states (my IP).
I called them again,reviewed everything again with the customer service agent,and I told her my residential address is in the states but I keep moving between Canada and the US due to work,so she escalated the case again to the review team,within 24 hour I received an email saying it's approved.
I'm really pleased with Capital one customer service,it's really different than any other those *****ty banks (CIBC ,TD,Scotia,PC and even AMEX),may be I had to pay a conversion fee extra,but I have double warranty feature and better customer service with Capital one if anything goes wrong,I had a few problems before with Merchants and Sears all could do is telling me to try solve it with the merchant and the money is gone.
Sorry for the long story ,just trying to help,I think it's really beautiful phone especially for ladies when they can choose the colors,engraving and add their feminine touch,I wouldn't have gone through this trouble If it was't for my wife.

I would have loved to get the G4 for $0, but I'm guessing this deal is dead? What's the best phone (best value) I can get now for renewing the $39 smart plan with Fido?

Hey just wondering what you old vets are thinking with your fido accounts. I am on an old unlimited 3 year 35$ plan with 6gb 30$ addon, plus 1gb free from fido. With my existing credits I'm paying 62$ after tax atm. When this 3rd year runs out this July I will be officially looking for something else (have the option to take a rogers govt. plan - 3gb, unlimited talk and text for 60$+ tax or 5gb 70$+tax).

Anyone else in my shoes? I look at the new plans offered and they are just junk compared to what I've been holding onto for years now. I was told that I can renew a 2year, keep my plan but lose some of my discounts so I would be 65$+tax for 6gb and unlimited which still seems like a pretty great deal.

Could use a new phone as I am using a samsung s4 that is starting to do weird things and error out as new android versions have been released.

Advice?
