Fido Boxing Day Deals!

[ripped from HowardForums, thanks didouche]

Fido's having a boxing day sale at their retail locations. Supposed to be specials on a bunch of phones and accessories. Highlights include:

$0 - Siemens S55 (color screen triband)
$100 - Sony Ericsson P800 (smartphone, sweet deal)
$25 - Sony Ericsson T616 (color screen, bluetooth, 850mhz!)
$75 - Nokia 7210 (color screen, bluetooth)

All of these prices are for new activation / 2yr contract only. I'm not sure if existing month-to-month subscribers can sign contracts to get these deals. There will probably be more deals in store so it's worth checking this out

Goto Futureshop instead.

With 2 year fido agreement, you get phone discount equal or better than Fido store, plus they will give you $50 to $100 gift card.

I read the thread on howardchui. seems like the deal for P800 isnt real, ppl getting conflicting info. can anyone confirm? anyone working for fido in Vancouver's retail stores?

BTW, the Nokia 7210 doesn't have bluetooth at all. For connectivity to PC or another mobile, it uses Infrared.

Merry Christmas!

Taken from a Fido ad in Vancouver Province Dec 24:

Fido's post-holiday sale $0

Single-band Hiptop - Regular price: $125 (Sale Price = $0)
Siemens S55 - Regular price: $500 (Sale Price = $0)
Siemens A56 - Regular price: $100 (Sale Price = $0)
Sony Ericsson T310 - Regular price: $200 (Sale Price = $0)
Nokia 3190 - Regular price: $100 (Sale Price = $0)

This offer ends Jan 11, 2005.

Handset offer is valid with any new activation of a monthly package, with Fido Agreement. (does not say how long the agreement must be)

The agreement is 2 years.

Not bad for the S55, otherwise, somewhat lacking

It's real.. glad I'm not working tomorrow.

I don't think each store has a lot of stock for the p800 though, most stores only have 1. plus the A56, S55, 7210, and a few other models are refurbished phones that are re-boxed.

get away from Siemens and Sony Eric...
otherwise, you will be regret

So what then exactly is the word on the p800?

nice phone but the P900/P910 or the Tero 650 are way better phones.

not bad for a hundred bucks though.

exactly what is wrong with siemens and SE? the two companies make very good phones

anyone know if existing customer is eligible for these deal?

The best Fido prepaid phone deal is Sony Ericssson Z200 Tri-Band World Phone - White from Best Buy. $59.99 after $65 instant rebate.

http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/prodde...ewdeptid=20157

Prepaid: $50 airtime credit valid 60 days
referral credit: $20, you need a Fido user to refer you and he/she will get another $20 credit if you stay for 3 months.

You get $70 credit and you need to pay $59.99 + tax.

After 60 days, you can switch to monthly plan with no charge.

I heard that the Z200 is troublesome.
Fido already discontinued this phone.

P800 is indeed $100 with 2 year agreement; $250 with monthly activation and $1000 with prepaid:
