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!
wow, looks like there's been a lot of people that have been able to get this deal. I'm glad I could help

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

gameon12 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.
This, everytime the number gets changed, it's considered "new". Has nothing to do with the phone number

they did it on 1 but not on the other :(

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.

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 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)
