If your family is in Apple world, iPad 32 GB is the way to go. It's a good deal. I placed an order through web chat. On their web site, today, January 8, is the final day for $15 / 3 gb plan promotion.honggil wrote: ↑ Hi guys, I currently have this 3GB $15 promo with the GPad from a year ago - So far, it's been great!
Looking to get a phone for my son and I'm thinking that this would also suit our and his needs of mainly being able to communicate with him (since he finishes school at 3:30pm and we get home from work by 5pm) or if he's out on the weekend with friends.
If we get this plan with the BYOD route, and get him a basic phone like iPhone 5/5c off BST or Kijiji, that should be a good solution if we can Whatsapp text/voice or FaceTime with him, right?
A few questions if anyone can answer:
- Since I am already an existing Fido customer with the same plan, would it be beneficial in anyway to add a second line to the same account?
- Is it easy or a pain to get the 50% off the BYOD plan? If I can pay $7.50 for 12 months that would be amazing I think
- Better not to sign up with the Tablet plan right? I mean what teenager would want to lug around a tablet as a phone lol. Also, we lose out on FaceTime and both my wife and I have iPhones.
- Any other options for my situation that I haven't thought of?
Sorry for the long post but any input is appreciated!
Thanks!
Edit: Did anyone see the $299 iPad LTE 32GB with the 3GB/$15 plan??? Seems like a pretty good deal!! It's not just the WiFi model, but the LTE model it seems. I think Walmart had the iPad 32GB on sale for $3XX but it was only WiFi model. If someone is looking to get the 3GB/$15 anyways and wants an iPad.. seems good!

HOT IPAD. COOL GIFTS
Eligible Fido customers can now get an iPad 32 GB for only $299 with a 2-year data plan (no-term $619) that offers 3 GB at $15/month.1 Get an iPad at a special holiday price.

1. In most cases, $15 / 3gb plan can only be opened with existing customers with post-paid voice/data plan. If you do, you're good to go. But, no other benefits like second line discount, etc.
2. I think it's highly likely you can get 50% discount after 6 months with BYOD $15 / 3 gb plan.
3. It seems free LG G Pad IV with 2 year contract is not a good option for you.
4. It's your choice, either no contract or 24 month with iPad. If it's likely to cancel early within 24 months, never go with contract. The penalty will be severe.
Side note: If your kid is going to use this plan with a cell phone, make sure you all calls/texts disabled by calling Fido.

Thank you.. do you negotiate it before or after you get the plan? I'll give it a shot!smartiesummer wrote: ↑ I don't think you can get 50% discount in store.
