Fido is set to revamp its plans, with changes coming in the form of a $49 Standard Plan and $55 Smart Plan, with the following features:
800 anytime minutes
Unlimited weekends and evenings starting at 5 pm
Canada-wide long distance
Unlimited SMS/MMS
Call Display
Mini Voicemail
Unlimited circle calling
800 MB data (with additional data $5 per 250 MB)
The current $55 Smart Plan includes 1GB of data, same as the $50 Standard Plan. These updates show a reduction of data by 200MB and minutes by 200.
Customers can bring their own devices for 10% off these plans. Smart Plans and Standard Plans differ based on the subsidy customers receive towards handsets.
Also new is the $60 Standard Plan at a dollar cheaper at $59, while the $30 Standard Plan also has been reduced, now at $29.
The changes appeared briefly on Fido’s website but disappeared, however they were noted down by a member over at RedFlagDeals. Stay tuned as the Fido.ca website should update with these new plans, probably today or this week.
Update Jan. 15/14: The Fido website has been updated and the new plans are listed below.
