Smartphone data plan
Fido offers one low-cost data-only plan for smartphones. That's the $15 Basic Plan, which comes with 250MB of 4G LTE data. Technically, it's not a data-only plan since it gives you 100 Minutes of talk, but you'll find those go pretty quickly. Plus, since data-only plans have largely become a thing of the past in Canada, this is about as close as you'll come to finding one.
