Any non-contract Fido activation WITHOUT activation fee?

[bigbug]

I want to activate a Fido line without contract as backup. Is there any place that can waive the $35 activation fee? Thanks!

It'd be waived if you take a contract. Keep in mind that if you sign a contract without getting a phone subsidy, then you won't have any cancellation fees (other than the $12.50 admin fee). Unless you live in Quebec, then it's a $50 max without a phone subsidy.

Or activate on prepaid then switch to postpaid?

There's still an activation fee when you do that.

If you have an iPad, you can activate an iPad plan and switch to a regular voice and or data plan afterwards.

There's an activation fee for activating any line without a contract.

Fido and Rogers were waiving activation fees for all iPad plan activations. Did they stop doing this?

Why not activate a prepaid service instead? This is the perfect backup.

Yes...Since last week...

OP, Bell is waiving activation fees on most 30-day plans AND offering a 10% discount on those rate plans when you don't go on contract.

Perhaps something to consider...

Too bad my phone is not compatible with Bell data.

According to the pamphlets, both Rogers and Fido prepaid data add-on exclude tethering. I need to tether with my PC sometimes.
