iPhone new pricing from Fido

Posted by Pavan Chander | Filed under Hardware

Well, after a bit of trouble in connecting to Fido’s 1800 number, I got through and spoke to someone about switching my current contract with them to an iPhone.

Turns out that because I’m still in my 3 year contract, I’m not elligble to upgrade to the iPhone, but I should call them back after July 24, as they are trying to work out a solution.

Well of course they are, they can’t resist having so many customers up their monthly fees.

But as where pricing is concerned, it’s become much better, where before $80/month would get you:

  1. 150 Weekday minutes
  2. Free evenings from 5PM
  3. 10,000 text messages
  4. Call Display
  5. Voicemail
  6. 400MB Data

The same $80 will now up the data to 6GB, making it a very competitive pricing scheme.

Now if only they can get some sort of solution up in place for existing customers like myself.

    I am in the exact same situation, they also said to wait until the 24th. Still how short minded can they be, they have really managed to aggravate the most important contingency of users they have that is, their existing clients.

    Exactly!

    What makes it worse, is that they have had more then ample time to prepare for something like this, as the iPhone was announced quite some time back.
