4GB tablet plan + Huawei T5 Tablet For $10/mo (Existing Customers only, 2 yr agreement, YMMV)

Thanks OP. They wouldn't sign me up as a new customer, but let me order this with a new post-paid cell plan. I opted for the $55, 11GB plan, which is better for me than my current Koodo $60 12 GB plan. I'll try to jump back to Koodo after I port, with the hopes of getting the $45 25GB plan! They are shipping both the cell SIM and the tablet with SIM this week the rep said.

Not the best deal, I am paying 7.5$ for the same deal(tablet+4gb-no phone plan) at fido. This has been known for years. Others are paying 0$.

is the SIM locked to the Huawei Tablet?

from others post, and feedback from friends.
the SIM is not locked to the pad, we should be able to use it in any device.

4GB for $0/mo on the 32GB Huawei Mediapad T5 Tablet at $0 down and no activation fee.

So, they just gave you a tablet with 4GB data for free? You pay nothing?

call the number 1866-315-3436
some representative could refuse to give new customer using all kinds of excuse.
but some will offer to new customer, no questions.

my pad has been on the way.(I am new customer, and have been asked to open a voice line)
ordered at 25 Sep.

I got this deal a few weeks ago. Signed up at the Fido store and they have me the Huawei T5 10 tablet plus 6gb of data for $10 a month.

In the past the SIM is not locked to the tablet. I took advantage of the promotion last year (the $0 a month promo and free tablet) and put it in an old cellphone for one of my kids - works fine, but no phone calls which isn't an issue since kids these day's don't ever talk on the phone.

With two years term, and if you cancel during two year term, you will need to pay back the tablet

Small note, it's a 2 year old low-end tablet.

Free is free, but don't let it turn you off tablets in general.

$10 for 4GB of data is excellent. I have no clue why this would get so many down votes. What's the issue?

No Idea, I have 2 3GB plans @ $0 per month and 1 4GB plan at $2.50 per month and I happier than a pig in you know what. I use VOIP.MS for calling and texting and it is the cheapest cell phone plan in the world.

OP, your title is misleading.
You had to sign up for a voice plan as a precondition to getting this additional "$10/month data only plan with free tablet".
The title should be: "Fido: $70/month, BYOD cellphone plan (5GB) with free tablet and 4GB data-only plan on a 2 year contract".

please for the love of god tell me what you are doing

My kids are on the $15 3gb plan. The overage is $10 per GB, and once in a while they go over. What’s the overage cost if they switch? Right now they can phone for an emergency and text if necessary. They don’t but they can if it is an emergency. Not sure if I should give that up

No.

This tablet is a tough sell on Kijiji. 3 weeks so far......

Are the phone calls function completely disabled? Mine is still active and cost 1$/min if someone accidentally answer.
