In the four years that J.D. Power and Associates have been ranking customer care by Canadian mobile providers, Fido has consistently rated just above average. While that's good enough to put it ahead of parent-company Rogers, it places well behind direct competition from Koodo and Virgin Mobile.
While customers have historically been happy with Fido customer care, on May 14, 2019 they began charging a $10 fee for transactions performed over the phone. Since these services can be performed using self-serve options, they consider it a cost of doing business. However, we'll see if it affects their reputation when we get next year's Customer Care rating.
While it's not the cheapest, Fido offers "mid-tier" mobile service. You get access Rogers' full-speed LTE wireless signal and a great selection of phones to choose from, but you'll spend hundreds of dollars less for the service. Cell phone coverage serves 97% of Canadians, and extended coverage is available for more remote areas.
They also offer unique bonuses, like Fido XTRA perks which offer exclusive discounts and contests for restaurants, entertainment and more.
Many smartphone plans also include a "5 hours of data" per month bonus, which lets you turn off the data meter for one hour, five times each billing period. Perfect if you're stuck in a waiting room and want to catch up on you Netflix shows.
Fido offers cell phone plans on the Rogers Wireless network at lower prices, and with unique perks like 5 Free Hours of Data each month. New phones can be bought below the retail price on two year plans, but the best deals can be found when you Bring Your Own Phone.
Prices in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec are even lower. Punch your address into our plan search tool to see all plans available in your area.
