I will keep that in mind. I use gmail so that would work for sure.
I found some info on the $250 rebate.

I fall into the second category, so I think this is where the rebate comes into play. I asked them if there was a time limit on this rebate, and the CSR said he couldn't see one as of yet.
The CSR must have quoted me the wrong prices though, or maybe I didn't hear him correctly because I could swear he said $649 for a 32gb - $250 rebate. This setup is $749-$250=$449. Yikes.
I remember now why they didn't want to sell me the iPhone at the discounted price. it was because I didn't get it from Fido. It was an unlocked phone I bought off the internet. They will only give you the discount if you bought the previous phone from them and you re-up your 3 year contract when you buy the new one.
