Telius bought out Fido

[e_BoY]

So i just heard on the radion that Telus bought Microcell for 1.1 billion. perhaps those $40/$45 ulimited talk compatable with ur hosue # really rape telus's cusotmers? iono

[dSl-DuDe]

hrmm, this could be interesting..

[mapleleaf4ever]

Hmm... I wonder how this will affect my Prepaid Service...

[neoh]

damnit

[InSoMnIaK*]

awww im on fido

[ryantron]

i was hoping to get the fido sony ericsson flipphone, the orange one. if this affects my phone getting in any way, i am going to be pissed.

[e_BoY]

^^
u mean the one with the analog clock out front? dont get it man its a piece of garbage

fuck i spelled telus wrong on the thread name. ah wells

[ryantron]

is it?
it looks so pretty.

[e_BoY]

when u get it u wont think so. they have some stupid clip on top for ur belt which makes it look retarded. on top of that the phone just isnt great.

[ryantron]

oh. thanks for the info. now i have to choose a new phone. mine got old and i dropped it. SIGH

[bob]

haha i wanted to get that phone too...
it's PRETTY ok.

[Veni*C]

awww fuck man... they better not jack the prices... i was only ever on fido cause it was dirt cheap.

[bob]

you know what would rule?
if they combined those "regrettably, only from fido." commercials with the cute telus animals on white bg commercials... i dunno how they'd pull it off, but those are good commercials!

[ryantron]

yeah. the animals are awesome.

[ebbomega]

Telus seems to be quite heavy on the "Fuck the Ma Bell Breakup" rampage lately, no?

[sass69]

I'd be pissed if I hadn't just switched from Fido to telus

You know what else would rule?

If they stopped spending so much money on advertising and spent a bit more on having decent customer service.

[ryantron]

i was really looking forward to fido being cheap. im with telus right now and its so much more expensive.
i can imagine the prices will be raised to telus prices.. sigh.

better yet, put it towards dropping my rates. or applied them to their bullshit service charges...

[ebbomega]

Hahahahahah... Telus Service Charges.

If that ain't irony.

[ebbomega]

Because "I heard on the radio" is about as flimsy and rumour-driving as possible...
