Fido Promo Doubles the Data on $45, $55 and $65 Smart Plans

Last week we told you Fido introduced a new $80/month Smart Plan with 3 GB of data. Now it looks like other Smart Plans will get some love, as this afternoon, Fido has launched a double the data promo affecting $45, $55 and $65 plans. The changes are below:

  • $45/month with 200 MB data > now 400 MB
  • $55/month with 500 MB data > now 1 GB
  • $65/month with 1GB GB data > now 2 GB

These changes make the $65/month plan closer to last year’s promo when it was available for $56/month. So if you recently signed up with one of these plans, call Fido today to get your extra data.

Since these are the Smart Plans (not the Max Plans), they can’t be used towards a subsidized iPhone, correct?

Yeah that’s correct. Max plans only!

That being said, if you’re looking to upgrade, and are currently paying above $60 (before taxes), they should let you keep your existing plan!

Keep in mind that it’s voice plan + data plan that has to equal over $60 to keep your existing plan (add-ons are not included).

Fido did allow me to add a new voice plan to my 6GB data moving forward, but it’s definitely more than a smart plan…

Does this mean that I can share data between different lines.

I have two lines with Fido. One just voice and the other one has 5 GB data. Can I share the 5 GB between these two lines?

I appreciate your help.

Don’t think these are shareable like that.

So if I have a plan that is exactly 60 dollars before tax, can I get the subsidized 5s? I keep seeing people say ‘over’ 60 dollars. Would switching to the 65 dollar plan here mess that up? I am confused.

Last year was $59 2GB unlimited, should I wait a little bit? FYI, I have no contract. Thanks.

So notice the $10 difference between the $55 and $65 plans, you get unlimited calling plus 1GB extra. Now pay another $15 dollars and get 1GB only extra. The more you pay, the worse you’re off, incrementally. YAY!

FYI I bought an iPhone 5S, subsidized through a Tab24 plan. I initially signed up for the $75 Max plan, but the 500MB of data was just too little. I called today and got changed to the $80 plan. A little more monthly charge, but way less than I’ll actually spend after being charged for more data on the Max plan. Call and see if you can do it!
