For B.C./AB people formerly on Fido, as a competitive answer to Shaw mobile, there is now a $45 25GB plan.

I'm from Vancouver

(sept 5) port out from fido to competitor (Freedom)
(sept 7) received email from fido ambassador of a an exclusive offer which can only be discussed on phone...
(sept 10) received a call today from fido winback

mention i have port to shaw mobile $45 - 25gb, came back few minutes with the plan match!
** rep then offer $5 credit for 24 month! (starting at 2 - 3 billing cycle)
$40 activation charge will be waived (at 2 - 3 billing cycle)

The other thing is the $200 hardware credit (I didn’t need it) which is another cherry on top.
*must decided the phone during activation

sim card will be mail in

currently waiting for account to be update so no screenshot

Good luck. YMMV.

fyi, I currently have a corporate plan from Bell which is/was $65+tax for 10GB data, USA calling and a Huawei P20pro ($35 for device is included in that $65 every month i.e. $70 device balance outstanding).

Any pro tips on how I should be switching or getting a better deal (by black Friday) than the current plan I have?

Very YMMV. I might have gotten a really bad rep, but here is my story. I was a former Fido customer for 13 years, transferred to Telus 6 months ago.
1) Called Rogers winback team after hearing about their $45/25gb plan in the other thread.
2) Got transferred to Fido winback team.
3) After the rep "pulled all strings", I could not get the deal. Settled for $50/15gb.
4) Saw this thread the next day
5) Called back, but could not get the deal.

Sad to say, I will be switching to Shaw and waiting for the winback call.....AGAIN.

Keep trying until you get the right rep.
