Fido (Rogers) and Virgin Mobile (Bell) appear to be introducing some further price tweaks leading up to Black Friday, available from dealers.
Dealers such as Wireless Wave are advertising a $29/month plan with 30GB of data from Fido and Virgin. This is the $34/30GB promo plan that’s ongoing but with a $5/month discount for 12 months. This is available for new activations and the $60 activation fee applies, reported numerous RFD users.
Now, from the surface this looks like a ‘deal’ for one year, but in reality it’s not great. It’s essentially the $34/30GB promo plan without the $60 activation fee, or the $29 plan with $60 activation fee. They both work out to $408 per year (clever girl). Either way, telecoms have a vice grip on your wallet (and other regions).
As this week proceeds into Black Friday, hold the line for hopefully better wireless deals like last year ($45/50GB with free iPhone 11).
