Fido

[JT94]

fido sucks... dont go with them... yeah sure their plans are a bit cheaper than rogers and telus... but their customer service is HORRENDOUS.... i've been over charged on my account several times and it was such a headache to get it fixed everytime... and in general i find their CS to be just unmotivated to help

when i was with rogers i didn't have any customer service issues at all...

I was a FIDO member for 9+ years and never had any problems. Their per second billing was awesome. The only reason I switched to Rogers was because they had a corporate plan to offer me, which made things a lot cheaper (especially with the 15% bundling).

FIDO CS may not bend over as easily on "threats" to leave, but they will quickly fix any other problems you have.

Phone wise, I love my Motorola V360. Using one of my mp3s from my music collection for a ring tone. Buy a 512MB MicroSD card from a store (it only supports up to 512MB), and it acts as a removable drive when you connect it.

It connects to the EDGE network, so great call quality and transfer speeds.

If you want battery life go with the V360, I had it myself too. If you want looks and willing to charge your phone every night go with the 6126.

Apparently Fido's CS has gone downhill since you've left.

I used to be a FIDO customer.
I travelled in the Toronto Montreal corridor maybe 3 times while I was a customer.
Pretty scary if you have car problem and need to call a tow truck or CAA.

I switched to Rogers because of my corp plan
FIDO tried everything to keep me, I told them unless you can match what the corp plan is offering then maybe. But even they were baffled at what my plan was offering. So they just thanked me for being a very long loyal customer and that was it.

FIDO's CS wait time has grown from 30secs to 5 mins since when I joined FIDO which was 6 years.

FIDO is not bad, still per sec billing. But I'm on per second billing at Rogers too.

The plans are probably going to stay put.

However, you're probably going to be able to get some better handsets for free on 3-year contract come Christmas time.
