Update: There are now rival plans from Koodo Mobile and Virgin Mobile, both offering $65/6GB plans with $10/month credits for 12 months, taking the plan down to $55/6GB for the first year.
Recovered from stuffing your face full of Christmas turkey yet? If you have, then you might want to check out Fido’s offer for Boxing Day, which is a $60 BYOD plan with 6GB of data ($5/100MB overages), with unlimited Canada-wide calling, SMS/MMS worldwide, call display, mini voicemail, circle calling and call waiting.
According to RFD, the plan is available to both new and existing subscribers in BC, Ontario and more. The plan is only available from Dec. 26 to 27th, so jump on this if you’re looking for a 6GB plan again. It does not qualify for Fido Roam.
How to switch to this plan? Call Fido or use online customer chat. If you’re a new customer, try to get a referral to get a $25 bill credit, and activate at a store like Best Buy as you could qualify for free gift cards or other extras. People are saying these plans are being advertised at dealers like Best Buy and Real Canadian Superstore.
If you previously switched to Fido’s $40/4GB plan, which they launched to target Public Mobile, this plan offers you 2GB more data for $20, and comes with unlimited nationwide calling versus just province-wide.
Let us know if you’re going to jump on this.
Update: Koodo has responded with their own Boxing Day Promo, offering a $65 plan with 6GB and $120 in bill credits.
