I wanted to let you all know about Rogers NEW plan that was released today that I signed up for. I switched because City Fido was total garbage. Don't sign up with FIDO, you'll regret it. Calls drop a lot, system network is busy a lot, reception is crap, etc. etc. Anyway, here is what Rogers now has.....700 daytime minutes a month, unlimited weeknights and weekends, first 3 months include unlimited local calling and the first 2 months include your choice of a bundle package *I chose voice mail and caller ID* Price: $45.00 or $50.00 if you want your weeknights to be after 6:00 instead of 8:00. To get this plan you must call Rogers because it's not posted anywhere. This was originally corporate plan which was released today and won't last long.
I've had no problems with Fido...and my plan is much cheaper thanks to unlimited incoming calls. I just call people and get them to call me back if it is going to be a while. And only $25 a month....and evenings start at 7, not 8....
just my 2 cents, but I haven't experienced the bad reception or busy network of which you speak.
Bell has a similar plan with 600 minutes - it costs us about $63 per phone including ALL the fees and features ( start point is $45 )
6 pm unlimited, etc
Saved us about $500 a month ( on 5 phones ) and ended up with a better plan for all.
I've been with Fido for about 5 years and I've never had a problem, on the other hand I had Rogers before the Fido phone and I would never go back to Rogers there customer service was terrible and no matter how much I complained it wouldn't change the fact that I was locked into a 2 year contract.
Everyone has their own views, some being better than others and some being worse than others. My experiences with Fido were not great as I mentioned originally, I tried numerous cell phones which didn't make any difference. My experience with Fido's customer service wasn't great either, Rogers so far has been great. I was with Rogers years back and couldn't complain than either.
Signed up with Clearnet many moons ago. Now I'm always getting calls from Telus cajoling me to "switch over" (since they bought Clearnet) which I decline. Higher rates, less flexible plans, locked in contracts. Wish I hadn't cancelled my second phone now.
a BIG fido advantage is per-second billing...clearnet had that too -- i'd hold onto that plan as long as possible
couple per-second billing with unlimited incoming = kind of a "reverse pager" -- my friends know to call me back when they see me on call display, or i just say "callmeback" & hang up...
and their service is fine in the city (works better downtown than telus from what i can tell)
i HATE having to pay a full minute for "hello? oh, you're right there...i see you"
