Just as we had reported earlier, Fido now has a new look and a whole new set of rate plans designed to make itself more accessible to those who are watching their budgets.
System access fees are out the door and in are the low-priced $15/month ‘all-in’ plans. There are also unlimited text plans available that kick things off at $25/month. Current Fido subscribers need not worry as they can opt to still continue their existing plans.
As for their handset line-up, they got a decent selection of phones that are virtually free on a 2-yr plan, but if you fancy something a bit more high-end, they also carry the Samsung Jack and the 3G iPhone. It’s a good mix of devices that will appeal to a wide range of customers. Not as diverse as what the other veteran discount carriers in Canada are offering, but good enough just the same.
Will the new Fido become the new success story in the Canadian telecom industry? Only time will tell.
