Rogers/Fido No Activation Fee Until February 16 2010

Effective February 11, 2010, Rogers and Fido are waiving the $35 activation fee that customers are usually charged when starting up a new account.

  • Mega Value Plans (All “choice of feature” plans: Unlimited Network Calling, MY5, Double Your Minutes, Messages)

Applicable to new 2 and 3-year term activations on the following rate plans:

  • Mobile Broadband Data plans (2 and 3 year plans)

This promotion is part of the Rogers/Fido Valentine’s Day promotions, but considering the negativity surrounding these companies lately, does a $35 discount even work?

This would be a good time for people with old plans who are still paying system access fee to switch up their old plan for one of the newer ones without having to pay the activation fee. Can anyone confirm this?

You wouldn't pay an activation fee for a plan change

Really? I always thought for Fido that if I wanted to switch from an older plan with SAF to one of the re-branded Fido plans without SAF, I'd be forced to pay the system activation fee for switching plans. Maybe I'm wrong or maybe you misunderstood my question?

It works like this:

New Customer who activates normally pays a $35 activation fee.

During this promo, that activation fee is waived.

An existing customer that has a plan where they pay SAF $6.95 can
change to a new a plan and not pay the SAF $6.95.

With Rogers/Fido, as an existing customer, you don't pay anything to
switch your plan.

Today's article only focuses on the $35 activation fee.

Make sense?
