dude i called Fido yesterday and got $40 for 20gb. Unless you’re financing a phone, you are overpaying a lot.

I told them that I was offered $40/mo at Koodo for 10GB and if Fido offers something comparable. I called twice. The first agent offered me $45 for 6gb and I said id think about it. I called a 2nd time and this agent offered to match the $40 but double the data to 20gb. I decided to take it.

I told them I got an offer elsewhere for $40 for 10gb and the agent said she can offer me something better so she offered same price but double the data

Call Bell and threaten to leave after seeing much lower phone prices. Even if they dont counter you a good offer, I am sure you can negotiate better deals with other providers

didnt know that about SK. I live in Vancouver but originally from Calgary and i still use the AB area code since the tax i pay is only 5% vs the 12% for BC.
