Fido - P20 pro / Pixel 3 XL Clearance - 10$/month

The pixel phone is not available

NOTE: The real price is $9.99/month + (GST+PST * $1270)/24 because they charge tax on the original device price.

It ends up being $17.XX per month in BC/ON/QC. It's pretty bullshit that they can pull something like that legally.

It's about the principle. Why is the government getting a 15% cut of $1200 (for a 2 year old Pixel 3 XL lmfao) when the consumer is paying $240 over the course of 2 years? How does that make any sense?

Is there a way to keep my current plan when getting a new phone ? Currently on 40$ 5gb plan

Ugh. I was pretty excited to get my dad a new phone for $240 lol. For $408 I'd start to consider a pixel 4a...

I was able to get the Pixel 3XL plus a free Huawei tablet while on a BYOD $50 plan. I just selected keep existing plan and everything went through successfully and monitored subsequent bills and all was alright.

Wait so the after tax price is $408 for the remaining 2 yrs? If that's the case this is not as hot. Especially with the 4a just around the corner.

Also they don't have any pixel 3 apparently. The pixel 3xl is a bit too big

recently? not showing free on my BYOD plan

So the minimum plan is $40 a month?

In Feb. and since i saw this thread, I just did it again on my other BYOD plan. Same as before, just selected keep existing plan.

It's not legal or the correct accounting method. Who ever is advising them should be fired!

I can confirm it works on BYOD as well. When it prompts you to select a plan, there’s a Tab next to it that says “Keep existing plan” and it goes through without a hitch

its a crafty way of getting lower numbers

here is something for a quote that I did.

P20 Pro.
Full price $950.00
Total Fido Payment Program amount $950.00
Down payment $0.00
Fido Payment Program term 24 months
Monthly payment (plus taxes) $39.58 ( 950 / 24)
Interest rate: 0.00%
Annual Percentage Rate (APR): 0.00%
Cost of borrowing: $ 0.00

total monthly cost = 39.58*1.13 = 44.73

discount = 29.58 (this is after tax )

final monthly cost = 44.73-29.58 = 15.15


what they advertise is 39.58 - 29.58 = ~10 ( rounding a penny)

Definitely don’t condone the way Fido markets the “discount” price. Still a great value IMO. For me, it’s either stock android or Apple phone and there’s no brand new top-of-line Apple phone that could be had for $300. ^_^”

Were you on the 40$ 5GB plan? I tried, and I don't see "Keep Existing Plan" as an option.
