My husband tends to deal with the phone purchases so I've been pretty much out of the loop when it comes to the details, but it's my iPhone that has started to die here, so I've taken the reigns to find a good replacement that isn't iPhone. Maybe we can get a similar deal without locking into a contract somewhere? If we can, that'd be great.
I could be wrong, but I thought that I had heard/read somewhere that your current "plan" can be continued on a month-to-month basis, even if your contact is complete. I'm hoping that it is true as I also have a 6 gig plan through Fido, but my next phone will likely be unlocked sans contract. Or in other words, the contact is to keep you around long enough to pay off your phone, but your actual plan is separate.

Edit: I figured I'd do the chat thingy on the Fido web site to answer my own question as I was also curious. I assume that the Rogers policies are similar as they're the same company. The good news is:
