Update: called Friday evening and scheduled cancellation for September 3rd (end of bill cycle), still haven't got a call. Hoping it's because of the weekend effect...

I need some advice for cell plan experts. I'm currently on the Koodo 10GB/$60 plan. I was just offered 10GB/$52.50 for 2 years from Fido to get me to switch back.

They also offered me the S0 for $0 and a $300 credit for $71/mo for 2 years with 10GB

Should i take either deal knowing that in 2 years i'll have to scramble to find something better?

how quick did you guys get a shipment email? completed this on Thursday and they said i should have the phone tomorrow. But no pending charges on credit card and shipment email.

I just got the call, $71.25 for 10GB for 2 months before 25% discount expires, iPhone X 256GB for $599, $500 credit on account. $176 paid up front which is the $599 + tax - $500. Tried to get them to waive my early termination fee but they couldn't do that. Said I'd get my phone in 4 business days.

I'm fairly certain they don't work weekends.

I'm assuming underlined is BYOD? Also, is it contract?
If you're happy with your device, I'd say make the switch if not contract, even if $52.50 becomes $63 in 2 years, only because I'm confident that offers will be competitive if not better in 2 years anyway.

Hii,

I got IPhone X but in my FIDO account plan is showing for 115CAD instead of thet offered of 60CAD.
Can you say how much time after you got your plan confirmation mail?
I didn't receive any mail.

I was in the same boat. They didnt send me email but mail out the letter to me instead. I got freaked out and called them. They said not to worry and they will fix it.

To my surprise when I got the first bill just couple of days ago, it has shown up as $115 plan with zero discount. I called in again and asked why, they said they applied ($80 plan with 25% discount) to the next month because the current month is already on going.

I asked what happened to the promised of 24 months with discount, they say the 24 months starting next month, I will have to pay the current month at whatever rate it is.

In my case, I find this extremely BS but since they offered $20 credit, that helps bring down the monthly plan from 115 to 95, I let it go, still ... they should have offered whatever credit needed to bring it down to $60 or at least $80.

Yes that's correct. BYOD and he said it's not a contract but the pricing is only good for 2 years. After which it will go up to about $70.

Hi Palidino, what if I don't want to port in..can I tell them I changed my mind about porting, and would just like to keep my temporary number forever?

I would like to know this too. A friend of mine is interested in taking over my plan but only if it’s at the 25% discounted price.
