    Anything more competitive out there on other carriers than these Fido plans?

    I have two lines on one account with Fido, been with them for 5+ years. My sense is that these are still very competitive but curious if any other carriers are now lower?

    Line 1 (Month to Month, no contract):

    $50 Unlimited N. American calling unzoned
    $10 VP
    $30 6GB Data
    $3 2500 CF Minutes
    $4 Rebate Int'l Calls
    $0 Tethering Access
    Less $4 VP Loyalty Credit
    ----
    $93 bef tx


    Line 2 (Month to Month, no contract)

    $35 CityFido Unlimited Voice
    $25 2GB data
    $10 Value Pack
    Less $5 Data Discount
    --------
    $65 before tax


    I particularly like the N. American calling on line 1, the CityFido unlimited on line 2. Also being M2M allows me to call in to leverage when I do see other better plans (thus the $20 2GB plan on Line 2!), although Fido doesn't match very much anymore

    Have you done your homework as a
    consumer and checked yourself?

    Duh...the published rates from others don't seem to come close.

    For line 2 virgin mobile, unlimited local $40 plus $25 2 GB, plus text unlimited $5 comes with caller I'd and vm in the plan. Plus byop discount 10%. Comes to $63 if you bring your own phone, so $2 discount; dont know if that's worth it for you.

    Your line 1 could switch to the new $11 VP if they let you keep your $4 VP discount.

    ^ What is not compatible? The discount on the VP?

    Nevertheless, I was actually inquiring about this new $11 VP (in-market) because I had no clue it was even available. I tried searching but didnt find the answers i was looking for...when did this VP launch? Is this VP something similar to what Retentions might offer?

    I have an older iPhone $10 VP and it's similar to the new one but mine doesn't include the 2500 CF minutes and I don't have unlimited MMS. I'm thinking I should call to change the old VP over but only as long as they don't touch my credits.

    The retention deal was with your current Value Pack/Plans/Package...

    If you decide to make any changes, you lose your benefits... This is the current Fido business rules...

    And by losing benefits do you mean any current credits on someone's account? Thanks.
