wow, looks like there's been a lot of people that have been able to get this deal. I'm glad I could helpMint wrote: ↑ Just dug through the last 12 pages to find the person who posted this deal (Blackblazer) and give it a thumbs up!
Went through live chat (about 20min wait), but the actual change to the free 12 months was easy. I was on the 50% plan which just ended and never signed up for the tablet so they made the change right away.
Amazing deal!

my device was 90$ tab balance, started in dec of 2016...i figure my math was pay off this month rate 17$ + 90+tx for tab = next 12months at ZERO dollars
approx 119/13 with my math = around 9 bucks/month OOP
YMMV cheaper payments with AB number but i didn't do this

This, everytime the number gets changed, it's considered "new". Has nothing to do with the phone numbergameon12 wrote: ↑ It's not the phone number. Fido's system somehow has interpreted a port-in (or a number change) as a brand new line (in one of their data fields). This can prevent the discounts from applying because you need 3 months of active paid service. The CSR I spoke with understood this and initiated a ticket to back office/mgmt to push through the discount. I mean it's clear the account/line has been open longer than a month if the tab balance is $90. Get the the CSR to give you the case/ticket number so you can follow up in a couple days. This is quite hot for free data for 12 months.

i called fido and asked them to ugprade my 2gb line to 3gb
they did it on 1 but not on the other
even tho i asked for both,
provided both numbers and waited 5 mins for each...
at least i swapped to an AB to save taxes, hehehe
guess i now have to call back again and ask why they didnt change it when i asked !

I have 2 lines free. I am paying for just 1 line right now, which has a contract. I keep wanting to cancel but they won't let me. Keep offering me free service.
I now have 9 GB in 3 GB tablet plan on Fido and 10 GB on TELUS.

Just called fido, told them my dad got the offer,,
at first he told me he can only offer 50% off, and then i told him my dad got the 100% off if he paid his $90 device balance, afterwards the agent was able to find the deal
the 100% off code is: RT100PE27

I feel overjoyed that I got unlimited data for free for the next 12 months but just waiting for the KABOOM from Fido (Robers). This is too good to be true.

I guess they want to bring that churn rate back down after they screwed up the $60 10 GB promo.

I got the 50% off, and have only had the plan for a month!! (Since Jan 6, 2018). No tablet though.
I asked nicely in live chat. 1st CSR denied me but 2nd one found I was eligible and applied it

Never took the tablet. I have 2 or 3 months to go on 50%... Will see if I get 100% _after_ that... or if they are going to pull the plug before... Than I'll simply cancel it for real... not going over 1GB on this plan anyway = not worth paying...

I'm using it as my cell phone plan (calling/sms on voip.ms) and I think it's unreal when I used to pay $50+/mo for this for worse service (IMO, since feature set of telephony on voip.ms is superior, and cell service is so much better than Koodo that I used to use)
