Motorola Edge+ @ $9.99/mo for 2 yrs ($240)

Don't you have to pay tax on the whole amount though?

You pay tax on the device monthly fee, so it's $9.99/mo + tax on top of your monthly plan fees.

Full Price: $2,000.00.
WOW

Yeah complete BS, so this deal is only for those who fully intend to stick with Fido for 2 years.

I did this when it was $15/month with Fido. Wondering if they would honour this new price going forward...doubt it....anyway the phone itself is phenomenal for the price. Helps that I'm locked into a 25 GB / $45 month plan so no problem staying for the next year and a half or so.

Not only this is BS. The phone also has screen issues green tinting.

current price on motorola's official site is $999.99. Regular price is $1500

But geeeeeez

What's the cheapest phone plan to go with this?

I would stay away from this phone. Got two units from previous Fido deal, both of them had screen issues. Ended up returning them.

$45 for 3G data and $50 online order credit.

It's an excellent phone that may have issues. I had one, no issues, but was very hard to sell when I wanted to make a change. Based on what I hear anecdotally Moto phones have issues when it comes to the flagships.

From the Fido page, I see "Taxes extra, based on full price of device, and financed over 24 months", which I take it as paying $9.99/mo + ((taxes on $2000) / 24). For BC, that works out to be about $20/mo after taxes or $480 total over 2 years. Did you sign up? Can you confirm it is indeed taxes on $9.99/mo and not the full device price? Rogers/Fido is so sneaky with their BS device prices.

Edit: my math sux pre-coffee.

There is a reason they are almost giving this away.

I confirmed they're doing the tax for BEFORE they apply the discount, otherwise it would have been $1.29 /month for tax, not 10 and change, That effectivly makes this device ~$22/month for 2 years (in ontario anyway)

Yeah Rogers and Fido been doing this for a few years now, which is very misleading and false advertising.

They'll say that regular price is $40 a month then show it's $30 off for just $10 a month now, but then on actual billing, you'll be charged $40 plus taxes AND then minus the $30 so it ends up being $15.20 a month instead of $11.30 (ON taxes)

In this case for the Moto Edge+, that's even higher due to the discount being $70+

Anyone talking about taxes being due on the pre-discount amount, I don't know where that's coming from, nor can I explain the stupid line items on the monthly fee breakdown, but the amounts are correct.

If I pick a $45/month plan, the total cost is $63.24 with taxes, which is correct (45 + 9.99 * 1.15 = 63.24).

i hesitate bought this 3 months ago, but i'm glad bought this phone. nothing close to this value with 12gb ram and 256 storage. phone very snappy all the time. you still have 1 year warranty if any goes wrong

Same with myself as well. Still have no issues with the one I ordered in Jan this year. And before ordering I had confirmed on a few different online chat sessions that however they adjust the price, on my monthly invoice it amounts to the $15 plus taxes on just that amount. So I have no issues with it whatsoever.
