I called Fido with the intention of renewing my contract with them (which runs out in April '12) if they could meet my needs.

Nothing, no budging, no negotiating.

The lady I spoke with wouldn't move on anything. And the biggest sticky point for me was data - she kept repeating that I had to get 500 MB for $25. Which is more than I'll probably use in a month, but from my research, I found I could get 6 GB from Bell.

I told her I was going to shop around and that was that.

Today at Costco I signed with Bell. I bought a Galaxy S2, for $150, and they gave me $125 in gift cards, which I used at the checkout--so I paid $25 for the phone. I suspected afterwards that I could have pushed for more gift cards. Plus he ported my number for free.

3 years
Unlimited E/W (6pm-6am)
200 mins
6 GB data
Call display
Voicemail
no network fee
no activation fee
and My 10
-----------------
$70/month

I would have preferred to stay with Fido--they've been painless--but, you know, money walks...
