I tried live chat earlier and was able to get this plan, but it would have required a hardware upgrade or a new line.
[Fido] 9GB Data + Unlimited Talk/Text for $50/mth (and $120 credit + 2GB Data Bonus for adding a line YMMV)

i'm an existing FIDO customer on the $50/ 4gb plan. Was able to get 9gb for $50 without buying a new device through FIDO CHAT. Mentioned that i was a loyal customer and don't want to have to go through a winback.

But win back would be better. Going rate seems to be $39/month for 9GB.
Or are you saying you got $50 plan less $11?

A this point.. see what deals black friday brings. September has been good on some pricing wars.
Also note some Koodo stores do offer competitive plan not only porting from Freedom. They'll take your money even if coming from Rogers/Fido.

Koodo doesn't advertise it, but they have name display on incoming calls - which I didn't realize I valued until I switched to Fido and didn't have it. But your name doesn't show up on outgoing calls. Might still be an option for you.

Hi I ported my number from Freedom to Fido yesterday with 50$ plan (11$ off) and got a S10 as well. Am now thinking to switch from Fido to Koodo. Is it possible to switch the plan now to Kooda without any penalty?

I like to filter my calls, so name display is important... anyone else with a $50/9GB koodo deal that can confirm call and name display both are displayed?
I almost signed up with Fido, at the credit check it wanted a drivers license or password or SIN. A ran off to get my DL and after entering all the info... it said it failed due to timeout. So don't linger if you want to sign up.

I tried to sign up with fido, but their credit check system kept failing with an "unknown error" today and yesterday. Well... I went to Koodo for essentially the same deal and everything worked.

I flip-flopped my accounts and will save a decent amount - thanks OP.
now i wonder how much credit impact will this have for flip flopping 4 accounts and going through 8 credit checks
