Telus-owned Public Mobile recently launched a $45 promo plan (after AutoPay) with 4GB of data and unlimited province-wide calling and global text. This plan was matched by Bell-owned Virgin Mobile yesterday in Alberta, and now Rogers-owned Fido has matched it as well—but their plan includes unlimited Canada-wide calling instead of provincial (updated).
This Fido promo is only available in Alberta, and that is reflected on the company’s website:
Interestingly enough, Telus’ flanker brand Koodo has not matched its own offer yet.
Again, if you were on a plan with less data, call in and make the switch.

It would be nice if you mentioned the provincial exclusions in the title of the article.
Fake news lol
What is happening in Alberta? Public available for those in Ontario. Same price.
Can Fido existing customer get this deal then?
Then they’ll increase the rates by $5 to $50/month like they did to people that got the previous Fido $40 for 4GB deal.
Where does it say province wide calling only? I see “THIS PLAN INCLUDES
Canada-wide calling3
UNLIMITED Canada-wide calling evenings and weekends from 5 pm” which is very vague on what’s included
Thanks, updated.
well they bump my 4gig 40 dollar plan to 45 now so I gave them a call this morning and got 5 dollars off in the next 6 months as a good will gesture. oh well.
Call them again! They gave me the $5 off for 9 months. I’m still disgusted that they would change it on me.
Thanks. Talked to their twitter team and they will extend my discount to 9 months. Again this shouldn’t happen in the first place.
