I have a feeling Fido is the best. Great coverage, decent price, friendly & helpful reps. Thanks Fido for the best plan ($55/6GB) ever so far in my life.

Yes, that means you can get up to $300 off a phone with a 2 year agreement.

I switched to Fido from Rogers (5 years customer) last year during Black Friday. Same network, same speed, same features, much lower price... Never look back.Sgt_Strider wrote: ↑ I tried 3 times today and failed. I have been with Rogers for 13 years. I also have two data lines on Fido for about a year and it's still not good enough.

Hindsight is 20/20. I think your promotion last year was much easier to obtain than this current promotion. I also went with PM's 4GB plan, but I have outgrown it. I was planning to give that plan to my mom and sign up for one of these plans, but no success. Oh well.EdisonL299 wrote: ↑ I switched to Fido from Rogers (5 years customer) last year during Black Friday. Same network, same speed, same features, much lower price... Never look back.

Yep. That plan was available to everyone. Black Friday is coming so you can keep an eye on that.Sgt_Strider wrote: ↑ Hindsight is 20/20.

PM's offer is similar to Fido's but unfortunately lack of customer service. In terms of performance, we had a vacation at Jasper/Banff last month. I was using Fido and my friend was using Bell. I noticed they were very similar, and I didn't notice the advantage of Bell/Telus/PM/Koodo at all.

Just got it done today. They actually mentioned it to me w/o the long distance minutes when I inquired about roaming charges. I wasn't thinking abt changing until they asked me. So I mentioned the public Mobile 10gb deal to see if they could better it (I know greedy) that's when they threw in the 1000 ld minutes
What they meant by the first line is that the price isn't going to change after a few months like a short term promotionThe plan Matt mentionned was targeted specifially for your account It's a promo but the price isn't going to change for you.
At this time, I don't have a $40 plan with that much data that I can offer you.
Let me know if you'd like the $55 one with 6gb and I can make the change happen on September 4th. Here's what it comes with:
Unlimited Canada-wide minutes
6gb of data (overusage $7/100mb)
1,000 international LD minutes to:
Australia
Bangladesh
China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan but excluding Macau)
Germany
India
Italy
Mexico
UK
Unlimited text, picture and video messages from Canada to Canadian, US and international numbers
Call Display
Call Waiting
Circle Calling
Mini Voicemail
5 free hours of data (1 hour, 5 times per billing cycle) with Data Bytes
Fido Roam
Compatible with Spotify Premium offers

Have you considered upgrading your pm plan to the 10gb freedom mobile one if you aren't able to get this one?Sgt_Strider wrote: ↑ Hindsight is 20/20.

No because I want to use the big 3's network. No big deal. I'm sure there will be another opportunity in the future. When I run out of data on my PM line, I just use my Fido line.charlie1234 wrote: ↑ Have you considered upgrading your pm plan to the 10gb freedom mobile one if you aren't able to get this one?

Hey, does anyoen know what happens to the visual voicemail messages that are already in my phone when I kill off the iPhone Value pack and go with the normal voicemail from Fido? Will those messages be deleted? In fact, anyone with an iphone with the normal voicemail, what happens when you press the Voicemail button. Do you go to your voicemail?

I had the iPhone value-pack and honestly i hardly ever get voicemails. Visual voicemail is just plainly ease of convenience that you can play right away. Regular is only 3 voicemails and you have to just call to do it, but other than that it's pretty good.bowmah wrote: ↑ Hey, does anyoen know what happens to the visual voicemail messages that are already in my phone when I kill off the iPhone Value pack and go with the normal voicemail from Fido?

Hi, You can use Data Bytes and tethering but maximum speeds will be reduced to 3.8 Mbps.delacruzjeff wrote: ↑ Question about data bytes: can you turn on hotspot first before using data bytes and use the data say to your wifi only iPad?
I've already used it for the kids tablets when traveling (1 hour free internet).

Right now with vvm, when I press the voicemail button in the iPhone, it brings up the vvm inbox. When I remove the vvm add on, will pressing the voicemail button dial the voicemail number to check voicemail or will my current vvm messages show up again?

You will lose your voicemails when you switch.
Without VVM, when you select voicemail, it will dial a phone number where you'll be prompted for your PIN... and follow the prompts.

Leave and move your number to another carrier, they will call you after and try and get you back. Done this before myself and had great results.carmageddon wrote: ↑ F*** fido seriously. With them for 10 years, called and asked about the $55/6GB ... they said it's a "SCAM" that someone posted about online. Best they could offer was 3GB for $55.

Has anyone had any luck calling and saying you will leave for another carrier and speaking to Retention?
