For frequently asked questions and answers just go to www.rogers.com and on the main page they have a banner that says "Fido is now part of the rogers family" and u can get ur answers for some questions u might have

i read about this last week on clubvibes
apparently everything will remain the same until new years. then beginning in 2005 old fido contracts will be terminated and things will start changing

Rogers is great. been with them 5+ years and no complaints. They even just gave me a free phone, with no additional obligations, just for being a long standing client. Hopefully the merger will be beneficial for clients of both companies.

That's so odd.
Simply because a few months ago I got a notice in the mail with my bill as of some certain date my charges will be changed. And they were! Good example was my txt msg went from 10 cents to 15 cents. And I just checked my last bill and it's still like that. Hrmmmm......

i think its a dollar a point and u get a few points every $50 dollars you pay fido. i dont know the exact number, but it can get you a new charger or a face plate if u collect enough points.

The main difference that has come into effect already is that all Fido customers who are NOT on the cityfido unlimited plan have access to Rogers GSM coverage.
http://www.fido.ca/portal/promos/per...romotion.shtml As of November 9, you’ll be able to use the Rogers Wireless network for three months at no additional charge. Any minutes you use on the Rogers Wireless network will count towards your Fido monthly package. You will then have the option to add the enhanced coverage feature to your monthly package, for an additional $5 per month. There’s nothing you need to do. Your handset will automatically make the switch to the Rogers Wireless network where Fido coverage is unavailable. Very good news!

Copy and pasted part of the FAQ:
Will I know that I am using the Rogers Wireless network and how? • Yes, you will see “Rogers” or “Rogers AT&T” displayed on the handset. Will all of Fido’s monthly airtime packages change? • No. Fido’s monthly airtime packages will remain for our current subscribers and we will continue to sell our packages to new customers. • As always, we re-evaluate our products continuously to ensure they match market conditions and customer demand. • If you would like a two year guarantee for your airtime package, we suggest you opt for an agreement with Fido. Will Rogers Wireless make me sign an agreement? • No. Fido will continue to offer very competitive products and services and you always have the choice to opt in, or remain a customer without an agreement. Will per-second billing remain? • Yes, we will continue to offer it for both local and long distance calls on monthly airtime packages. • As always, we re-evaluate our products continuously to ensure they match market conditions and customer demand. If I change packages, will I then lose per-second billing? • No. All Fido monthly airtime packages include per-second billing. Will I lose the Fido dollars in my account? • No. Your Fido dollars and the Fido Rewards program will remain in place. I think that answers most of the questions that were brought up in this thread!!!!! This is really interesting for me, since I work in the cell phone industry.
