cell phone plan

[princess19]

are there any perks we can get with regard to new cell phones / cell phone plans, and if so how do we go about doing that?

I think plans differ depending on what part of the country you are from. When my friend moved from Nova Scotia to Ontario, the plans in Ontario were all more expensive. Where are you from?

Depends on if you had a plan previously. If you had a contract before with Fido and are nearing the end of the contract you can call their retention centre to negotiate customized plans that's better than any advertised plan. My plan right now is:

$28.50 incl. tax and sys acc. fee.

200 day time min

1000 evenings and weekends

unlim incoming

unlim text

caller ID

95$ credit to buy a phone

6 months unlim local calling from the signing of a 2yr contract

and of course, billing by the second as all Fido plans are.

wow that is a sweet plan! where are you from and how did you get that? does it have anything to do with your medical education or is fido just that good of a deal?

Also, if you are part of any unions, you might be able to get a good plan through them (corporate plans).

Anyone can negotiate a deal. I'm in BC but I'm pretty sure this applies to the rest of the country as well. I had a contract for 2 years, then once that contract ended I called Fido customer service and demanded a better deal or else. So I got transferred to their retention center and the rep gave me all those. It was a fairly pleasant negotiation, but I've heard the process depends on the person you talk to.
