[Fido] Free data add-on 3gb (just because)

Retailer:: Fido

Woke up today to find that Fido just added a bonus 3gb of data to my Black Friday 4gb plan. Apparently they did it just because. I never asked for it or received notification other than seeing it on my Fido app when checking usage. Hopefully this isn’t a fluke and some of you got it or can ask for it. Hey, who doesn’t like free data to start off the new year? Hopefully it’s a permanent add-on. If anyone has news report back here. It was touched on in another thread but I figured it deserves its own thread here on RFD.

Tigerrrrrr!!!

Yeah same here. Added another 3GB for no reason as well. But I'm switching to Virgin due to reception problems with Fido so that didn't quite help LOL

I thought the Fido BF plan for $45 less $10 per month discount for 4GB (so $35 total per month). Are you in Quebec?

on a second line on an account? Cause the BF deal was 7GB on all subsequent lines

/edit: Nevermind,.. I got the extra 3GB on my main line as well

So for those that didn't get the bonus: they DO want to lose you? Take note.

So I have a special offer for $45/9 GB with unlimited calling. I'm currently on a grandfather plan for $34 calling + $30/6GB add on, so their offer is obviously better.

My question is: when you move from one of these grandfather locked-in-time plans do I then get put onto a temporary bull$%*t that expires or increases dramatically in 12 months?
