Fido
Reviews and Complaints

I was called through phone by a fido representative and told that I will be provided with international call, 5 gb data and other features but when I got the bill it was for 527.56 dollar instead of 45 dollars + tax, as they are saying international call was not included in my plan, but i took the offer only because they said they are giving international call. As I am international student this is the worst thing that happened in my entire life, these kinds of fraud from a reputed company like fido make me sick. I cant afford to pay the amount and also I don't want to pay such an amount for a fraud billing done by fido .I hope the concerned authority will take actions against these fraud in behalf of my name, and also to solve this issue as soon as possible

FIDO NUMBER:[protected]

Hi Team,

I have recently port my phone number from Lucky to Fido mobile. After that i am not able to receive any verification text message sent from bank at the time of transferring money from my account.
I have checked that i am not able to received any short code text from the number 242-223 number which was working before with my old Lucky mobile provider. However other text even from 242-222 number also coming the text.

I also contact the FIDO service but as i informed that if the sms is coming from other CIBC short code no like 242-222, then it might be the issue from bank side. But CIBC also told me that there is nothing to do from their end.

My mobile no is [protected] and using iphone 6s with latest iOS 13.1.3.

Please help me to understand that who can solve my problem.

This company has charged me over 4 grand in a 6 week span, all in data chargers. I clicked on the extra data for 10 and 30 dollars, somehow they came up weith 4g. This has to be illegal and I am gwtting every govermnet agancey possible involved on this one. The fact that this companyu is owned by Rogers, explains it all.

I will do everything I can to bring these guys to justice. I know I will fail at this but hopefully I can at least inform other potentials that will undoubtedly be frauded by Fido and or Rogers.

Was promised 1000 mins of International calling on converting to Fido from Chatr under an ongoing promotion. Rep escalated when unable to add mins after porting the phone numbers to Fido .. Then got a call after couple of days or more saying unable to provide that service as it is available only on new connections... I had only agreed to change my service provider to Fido because of 1000 International mins I was promised during sales...I have just received a bill from Fido that I have to pay by 27th October... I need what I was promised.

Hello,

I dont usually complain. However, I feel that I was scammed by a company that I enjoyed their service for almost 5 years.

I needed to upgrade my phone and there was a nice offer at a sister company Of Fido(the company I am with). So I called them to see if they had any offers and the agent I talked to told me I had two loyalty offers that could be applied simultaneously one worth $150 and the other worth $100 with a total sum of $250 deduction of the downpayment on the phone since I had been with them for a very long time. This happened on the 14th of September 2019

However, the catch was he couldn't apply the offer for me unless I reserved the phone and changed my plan to a bigger plan. I agreed to i since I found that the final sum was beneficial still. After the agent applied all the necessary changes he told me since the phone is still on a reservation status and not officially released the $250 discount can only be added once the phone is released in 10 days. I called the company back in 10 days they told me the offer was expired however, the second agent told me he would try to reapply yet since the fault is not mine.

I received a confirmation from the second agent that now the offer will be applied and he sent me a note reference ID and told me to wait until the branch store I reserved the phone at to call me and then I can show them the reference ID and they would apply the offer.

Three weeks later (October 3rd, 2019), I received a call that the phone has reached the store. So I went there very excited and happy to receive the phone I had waited for 3 weeks for. However, they told me I had to pay the full amount associated with the plan and there was no offers to apply. I called the company's customer service and gave them a brief summary of the story and asked them to look into my account and have a look at the old records. I was shocked after wards to hear that the offer is invalid and that all the changes I did to the account including subscription to a more expensive plan, waiting for 3 weeks and rejecting the offer of the other company was all for nothing. The agent was polite enough but the supervisor I was transferred to was very very rude and it was shown that she didn't want to help at all she didn't offer any solutions or any explanation even for how the situation has reached to this point.

I feel like I was scammed and tricked into changing my plan and forced to reserve a phone ( cost $40)and wait for it and all this so that they for force me to buy it from them and not go to the other company. The funny thing is that after all this they tell me this is our loyalty plan. So I am getting scammed because I am loyal to their company for 5 whole years.

I feel really wronged and tricked and I just wish that my complaint can reach someone that can do something about it in the company since their supervisors are clearly not caring enough about their customers whether they are loyal or not.

I feel sad that this company would treat me this way since I did in-fact enjoy their service for 5 years and I expected them to care more about their customers not necessarily by deducting the money ($250) that was promised to me but at-least by being kind enough to explain the situation with some common sense to how did this situation even happen.

Thanking you.

Fraud alert, awful company!
I just wasted over 2.5 hours of my time, 1 hour 50 minutes on hold awaiting to speak to a manager.
I spoke with a woman named ashley, who claimed to be a supervisor, was extremely unhelpful, argumentative and pretty much told me, she can't do anything for me on a monetary level, but checked into my plan to add data. Said my plan is too old, can't add data on my plan, until my plan is renewed! Really? You believe i'm going to renew with fido?
She said we can offer more then. Of course you can, like any other company, offers a whole bunch of stuff, as was the case with this phone: free phone, 60 gigs memory, case, plastic cover, charger for car...
My problem is now, with this bill, you've sent me!

I went on a cruise, which left from texas.
No taxis in texas, I needed to call an uber, no ubers in bc, so I had to download app, add credit card... And pay $7/day in usa.
I kept getting pop-ups, usa $7/day, outside of usa $12/day!
I found $12/day expensive, but I decided to use it a few days on cruise, to stay in touch.
7 day cruise!
I get back home, they've charged me an additional
$102 for roaming text messages, and
$90.53 for international roaming,
On top of usa flat rate of $7/day, when I was in texas and $12/day on islands.
On top of my normal billing fee.
We have a two phone plan, one of the phones was charged $399.87

Obviously, fido could care less about their customers, I was told, I should have called them or read up on-line... Basically, I should have read the fine print and done my own homework, before using their services!

I assure you, the next company, I will have them sign my contract: anything that is in fine print, must be told in large print!
No additional charges!

I guess fido have enough customers, they don't mind losing 2.

Such a Ripped Off
Ive been a loyal customer of Fido for 10 years, it was alright before and now theyre such a ripped off. I dont mind paying if I know I use there Service BUT I did not use it at all...I went to US for the First time and they charge me 25$ on roaming for 3 days eventhough I didnt use it andt old me i did a phonecall and messages...which is not true. They are so unfair charging people for not using it..I am switching to a different network provider. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. ..even told me i made a call to a friend whose just next to me and who even forget her phone. HOW crazy is that.I would never use this network ever again!

Hi,

My name is Nasir Khalique Qureshi. I have to complaint that I am a user of FIDO for the last 4 years and for this specific number I was given an offer of 4GB data + 3GB Bonus data without change of price. Afterwards it was withdrawn. I was also promised by the agent to reverse $10 of data overage on this number but that was also not done. Today I spoke to another agent Joe and he implied that I am lying. Please check the call records and verify that I what I am saying is correct and provide the new plan without a change in price on the the [protected].

My other complaint is that every time I call Fido helpline an agent has a different offer. It seems like it depends on the mood of the agent if he or she wants to offer something. Fido should standardize offers for long term customers to avoid these conflicts.

I am writing in regard to my line [protected]. I received a text from fido that I have used 90% of my data on 21st September 2019 (3 days before my bill cycle) when I checked I was left with 0.88gb. As my requirement, I added 1 GB of data by paying $15 but when I checked my usage before 1 day of my billing cycle on 23rd September 2019 it showed me I have 5.94gb of data. Upon calling to customer service I heard the very unsatisfying response that sorry we cannot do anything and I choose to add extra data and i will be charged for $15. I believe the misrepresentation of my data usage led me to add extra data and the response I heard back was not satisfying and this issue should be considered so I cannot be charged extra in the future again.

I cannot believe the pathetic service I have received regarding a FidoExtra offer that appeared on my account. 3 times i was reminded of the offer, which at this point I decide to take the offer. I visit store number one. They agree that the offer is valid, however they are out of stock. I ask if they can tell me what store has availability. The response: No, we don't have that information. I decide to visit another store. Yes, the offer is valid, but we don't have any stock. And we probably will not have stock for a couple of weeks. Again I ask, can you tell me what store has stock. No, we cannot.

I go to Facebook to talk to support. Shaun looks at my account and mentions that this offer is not available to me. I send screen shots of the offer. He asks me to contact the number that is on the offer. I go ahead and do this.

I connect with someone whom i could barely understand. He says that this is not his department, and would have to transfer me. Why in the hell would you post a number on an offer, but its not the correct department. I get transferred. I speak to a woman, who know very little of the offer. I explain to her, and follow instructions on the offer page on my phone. She then proceeds to tell me that the offer is not available to me, but tries to see what she can do. 25 minutes on the phone and nothing. Her response when she returns is, this offer will come up again, why don't you wait till then. Are you kidding me! Its you that pushed this deal on me, not the other way around. And now all i get is frustration and denial of the offer.

I go back to Shaun and proceeds to tell me to visit a bunch of stores. This is where it gets ridiculous. He says its only offered in-store. However the ad states that its available in store or by calling the number provided.

I give up FIDO... I should know better than to contact anyone with the company, and just stick with paying my bills. This has been a complete screw up, and I didn't even want the offer in the beginning, as you have screwed up before on offers.

I am seriously considering changing providers over this. You make an offer that does not even exists. I have now spoken to 5 people and all either have no clue what I am talking about or they just are poorly trained. I really cant remember when I have dealt with so much stupidity. I'm on my last nerve, and just about to leave FIDO once and for all.

I am a fido customer ([protected]). On 13 sep 2019, I received an offer in xtras which tell me that I can get a 0$ tablet on a free 2-year tablet plan. But when I went to a fido store, the people there told me that in my account, there is no this offer. I have tried to contact fido customer service by phone and by facebook, they just told me that it is a glitch that's causing me to see that in Fido Xtra, without any solution.

Worse customer service i ever had. I had my contract cancelled with fido and went to rogers. Then i forgot i had a balance with fido and i tried to go back to them to finish my contract, apparently i cant do that anymore since my contract is cancelled. I called rogers and they said all they have to do is to send in a request and that they get this problem everytime. so I called fido back and they said they cant revive my contract anymore and now im stuck with a 400 termination fee. This the worse phone company i have been on. Customer service is the worse with this one.

FIDO / Cheating and not fulfill what was committed for a new plan

Am expecting to have a feedback from Fido by today Sept. 07, 2019 by email to re-solve my complaint. Feel deeply disappointed with Fido and hoping I have the feedback soon after this complaint submitted again!

It will be my pleasure to chat with you today. May I start with your full name please? 06:03:51 PM [WING] Wing On Alphan Chan 06:04:17 PM [Ramandeep] Hi, how are you doing today, Wing ? 06:04:26 PM [WING] Am fine, thanks 06:04:37 PM [Ramandeep] I can see that you're logged into your fido.ca account which is awesome as you're fully authenticated:) 06:05:20 PM [WING] hi, just would like to continue your last offer to re-new my plan which expect due on Sept. 28, 2019. 06:05:48 PM [Ramandeep] If I am correct you're inquring about the offer that was made on Aug 23rd? 06:07:39 PM [WING] Yes, in addition, please also see if you can increased the data from 6GB into 10GB as Telus did also able to offer me same fee mobile phone and 10GB at same plan price. 06:08:25 PM [Ramandeep] I can really understand your point of view here Wing for sure I will have a deep look into it for you. 06:08:51 PM [Ramandeep] I do see that you were offered Google Pixel 3 64gb and Huawei p30 on $0 down on Aug 23rd. 06:09:51 PM [WING] Yes, but I prefer to take Huawei P30 at 128GB model. 06:10:21 PM [Ramandeep] Ok sure, allow me few minutes to have a look into it for you. 06:14:01 PM [Ramandeep] Thanks for your patience! I'm still working on it. Please bear with me:) 06:14:29 PM [WING] noted, thanks 06:18:30 PM [Ramandeep] Thank you for your patience I have looked into it for you and wanted to confirm that we can get you the Huawei P30 on $0 down on small tier plan. You can also keep the current plan as it. In case if you're looking to add more data then we can get you: The $70 plan comes with: Unlimited Canada-wide anytime calls 8 GB (No Surprise Data Overage) Unlimited text/picture/video msgs from Canada to Canadian, U.S. and international cells Call Display (Number only) Mini Voicemail (max 3 msgs, can be upgraded to 35 msgs) Circle Calling™ Fido Roam™ Data Overage Protection 5 FREE hours of data (1 hour, 5 times per billing cycle) with Data Bytes™ 06:18:48 PM [Ramandeep] Or 14gb for $80. Both plan are small tier plans. 06:21:09 PM [WING] I mean to keep same $65 but increased into 10GB which Telus can able to offer me and so I do believe Fido can offer same to loyal customer too. Your thoughts? 06:22:09 PM [Ramandeep] I can understand how Telus offer can be appealing. Keep in mind though that the sign-up deals are often not to be renewed or only for a fixed period of time. Each company has its advantages, I agree, but considering your loyalty and the offer made, Fido remains a competitive company for its amazing advantages, such as Fido LiveANSWERS, FidoTRADE, Fido Roam and Data Bytes and Data Overage Protection. Plus our newest addition Fido XTRA makes our plans even more unique. 06:22:53 PM [Ramandeep] But I have looked deeply into it for you and wanted to confirm that we can get you one time $35 as a credit on doing upgrade. 06:25:13 PM [WING] Noted thanks but wondering If pre-authorized monthly payment can help to meet my expectation too? 06:26:04 PM [Ramandeep] I do apologize to say Wing but I'm not able to understand your last inquiry, can you confirm it in bit more details. Thanks! 06:28:26 PM [WING] I mean to have pre-authorization thru my credit card on mothly basis where Fido can get my payment automatically on monthly basis. 06:30:27 PM [Ramandeep] Oh yes you can setup the pre authorized monthly payment through credit card I can send you an email for your convenience that will help you to change the method of payment. 06:31:10 PM [WING] Do you mean this payment method can help to meet my 10GB data epxectation too? 06:33:37 PM [Ramandeep] Well, just to confirm with you that monthly payments will be taken from the pre authorized credit card which does not relate the data with it. But let me see what we can do for you. 06:34:44 PM [WING] noted and awaiting 06:37:03 PM [Ramandeep] I have looked into it for you and wanted to confirm that we can get you 3gb for 3 months with your current plan, in market the value of this data bonus is $80 but we can offer you for free or we can get you 5gb for 2 months on current plan and in market market the value of this data bonus is $120. What do you say? 06:39:20 PM [Ramandeep] We can offer the 5gb for 2 months free of charge. 06:40:15 PM [WING] If you trace back my previous data usage record, am seldo, m to use more than 5 or 6GB data. But just feel more comfortable if my current plan can get in-line with other reputable service provider too. Can you double check for me plaease? 06:44:26 PM [Ramandeep] Just to double clarify that you're looking to get more data at the current price you're paying? 06:44:43 PM [WING] Yes. 06:45:24 PM [Ramandeep] I can really understand your point of view here Wing I have looked into it for you an wanted to confirm we can get you the 7gb for $75 on small tier with $10 off for 12 months on doing upgrade.

Data Overage Protection is a feature where your Fido Mobile data is automatically paused once you reach 100% of your plan's data limit. So you'll never get a surprise overage charge. 06:47:42 PM [WING] Did double confirm to you to meet same $65 instead of paying more? 06:49:19 PM [Ramandeep] I can really understand what you are trying to say here Wing with the $10 off for 12 months you'll only need to pay $65+taxes for 7 gb data, the in market price for this plan is $75. 06:52:48 PM [WING] Do you mean that Fido can accept $65 for 7Gb data for my upcoming new plan together with $0 Huawei P30 with 128Gb for my upcoming new plan? Beside, there will have a $35 cash credit which can be deducted on my new plan too? Please confirm my same understanding. thanks. 06:54:44 PM [Ramandeep] Just to confirm with you that we can get you the Huawei P30 on $0 down on $75 mall tier plan with 7gb data + $10 off for 12 months on the plan + $35 one time credit which will appear on your next bill.

If so, I can start my new plan right away. Can you check and confirm too? 07:02:03 PM [Ramandeep] Well, Wing your current contract is going to end on 09/28/2019 and the remaining device balance for current contract is $0 so you can do the upgrade today. You can definitely save the $35 setup by choosing to do upgrade online at Fido.ca but just to confirm with you that on doing you would not get the $10 off for 12 months on the $75 small plan + won't get the extra $35 credit as well. But I can do is I can do the upgrade for you and instead of the $35 credit I can get you the $50 one time credit which will cover the $35 setup fee also you'll have extra $15 credit on your next bill. 07:04:39 PM [WING] It sounds great if I can start the new plan without any liability of the old contract. If so, please go ahead to arrange the new plan for me. Big thanks and highly appreciated. 07:05:47 PM [Ramandeep] Ok sure, we can proceed with the upgrade for you. 07:06:31 PM [WING] Let me know anything needs my follow up. thanks 07:07:01 PM [Ramandeep] Sure, no worries. 07:07:29 PM [Ramandeep] Can you confirm the 4 digit code that I have sent on [protected] via text? 07:08:21 PM [WING] 1245 07:08:55 PM [Ramandeep] Thank you very much for confirming that Wing. 07:09:30 PM [Ramandeep] These are some points related to the plan: If you reach your data limit at any point during your bill cycle, we'll pause your data access to prevent you from incurring data overage charges. • To continue using data after we pause you, add additional data right from your phone by using My Account (app or web).

02:50:44 PM [Daniel] Thank you.
02:53:54 PM [Daniel] I am currently working on the exchange process and documenting everything so there will be no further troubles, thank you for your patience and assistance with this.
02:56:46 PM [Daniel] Is the shipping address for the phone you wanted still

102-XXXXX ST
COQUITLAM BC

You will receive an email notification once we ship the device. You will also receive your order within 3 to 5 business days.
02:57:23 PM [WING] Yes, mailing address is correct.
02:57:27 PM [Daniel] Thank you.
02:57:46 PM [WING] Let me know how to deal with the current package P30 Lite?
02:58:51 PM [Daniel] You have 10 business days to ship the original device, or we will bill your account for its full value. Please use the return waybill included with the new device. Please make sure you include the original box with all of its contents (phone and accessories). Keep your SIM card.
03:00:02 PM [WING] By the way, just want to make sure
03:00:26 PM [Daniel] I'm on my side going to send a case off for the Back Office Team and explain the situation, the phone you got and the phone you originally wanted, once the phone is at the fido Warehouse and fido receives it they will make any adjustments and ship you the Huawei P30 128gb model.
03:01:26 PM [WING] Great! I will keep the sim card provided and return the whole package by today.
03:02:00 PM [WING] By the way, please confirm that the re-send P30 should be a new one and not used one?
03:02:35 PM [Daniel] Correct.
03:03:25 PM [WING] In addition, realized that my on-line account is bearing 8Gb plan but am just able to use 7Gb data limit. Can you upgrade into 8Gb too to avoid confusion?
03:04:31 PM [Daniel] I will look into that after i'm finished with the swap, it's a bit of a lengthy process but i'm almost done. :)
03:05:22 PM [WING] Noted and awaiting. Thanks
03:09:37 PM [Daniel] Wing as I make this case, there are going to be charges and credits for the difference the price for the P30 Is $240 On the Small plan you are currently on. I do see the past representative quoted it on $0 So i'm going to double check the loyalty pricing and if not I will speak to my support.
03:12:02 PM [WING] Sorry, this is a done deal and am not going to pay anything extra! Sorry about that. Let me know Fido's final before I take all necessary action taken!
03:13:15 PM [Daniel] Of course Wing, i'm doing everything I can to get you what you were originally wanted.
03:23:28 PM [Daniel] Thank you for your patience Wing, if you did want to choose another model we can certainly do that but i'm afraid we don't honor the pricing anymore. If you would like what I could do is offer you a $100 Pricing off a different model on your current plan. for example the Samsung S9 Is $120 On a Small plan, if you wanted to exchange it for that then I could mention to have the $100 applied to that and it would only be $20 Or if you wanted to just fully return the phone you received you could do that as well.
03:27:40 PM [WING] This sounds really bad for Fido and not to fulfill a confirmed deal to a loyal customer. In this case, I will public and let the pulbic to give me a fair judgement.
03:31:00 PM [Daniel] I understand and really sorry to hear about this. Especially when you have been with fido for so long. I will send a full report to that agent so that he may be coached to prevent this form happening in the future, would you like me to set up the process for the return of the phone so that you may be refunded?
03:32:04 PM [WING] If t
03:33:46 PM [WING] If Fido admitted the fault, why Fido is not taking any responsibility. I have no interest to Fido internal affairs but my customer right only on all confirmed deal!
03:36:14 PM [Daniel] Fido is only able to help in any way they can, we are not able to honor the pricing. I would certainly help you with that if I could to make this easier for you. The other options I could help you with is doing a full return of the phone, or you could look at getting another phone model and we can go over those options together I do not mind.
03:37:48 PM [WING] This is totally not a solution for a done deal!
03:38:22 PM [Daniel] I understand these may not be the solutions you are looking for but these are the two solutions available.
03:38:56 PM [Daniel] I do want to help you throughout this process but these are the only options available since Fido is not able to honor the pricing.
03:39:05 PM [WING] Am just want Fido to deliver what was committed, very simply!
03:39:46 PM [Daniel] I understand that.
03:40:31 PM [Daniel] But the solutions I have given above are the only solutions you could take aside form not returning the phone you have now.
03:41:55 PM [WING] NO, I will definitely not accepting th P30 Lite model to replace my preferred one.
03:43:26 PM [WING] Since my original plan which should be due on Sept. 28, am still holding my right to complete the old contract unless being override by the new one!
03:44:10 PM [Daniel] Okay, then I would recommend returning it so it all can be reversed because how the return policy works is you have to send us the device within 10 business days, or Fido will bill your account for its full value.
03:46:49 PM [WING] Noted with thanks. Can you let me know which Fido dept. or contact person or phone number should I get in touch with for this complaint? Thanks
03:48:41 PM [Daniel] That would be through me, I can explain it in the form that I am reporting the agent for this mistake. Their Team leader will receive it and pass it forward and coach the agent on it as well.
03:49:58 PM [WING] No, this is not the answer, I need this for media to get in touch with Fido direct and explain where is the customer right!
03:51:09 PM [Daniel] Then you will have to hold with me as I speak with my support.
04:05:00 PM [Daniel] Thank you for your patience Wing, my support is looking into seeing what they can do to get the phone for $0 I really do appreciate this.
04:07:18 PM [Daniel] Still with me? :)
04:07:33 PM [WING] Yes,
04:08:50 PM [Daniel] Okay wonderful because I have some good news, I spoke with my support and they are going to put you on a similar plan to what you are paying now It's $70 with 6GB unlimited talk and text, this will bring the P30 Down to $0 Wing!
04:09:18 PM [Daniel] and then once that's done we can do the exchange process again.
04:10:26 PM [WING] Sorry, the original deal was 7Gb at same old price $65 and a new P30?
04:11:10 PM [WING] Please don't waste my time anymore and just let me know all the key contacts at once!
04:13:55 PM [Daniel] I will let them know.
04:16:19 PM [Daniel] Okay wing, I have spoken to my support and a Supervisor is going to be contacting you within an hour. I'm just going to get everything set up for them. Can you please give me a number so that they can contact you please?
04:17:55 PM [WING] Sorry, am not interested at all to talk anything more. Either fulfill the confirmed deal or let me know all the key constacts, thanks.
04:20:46 PM [Daniel] The only option right now would be to have a supervisor call you back now i'm getting everything set up they are just going to need a number to reach you on so they can talk to you about the original deal.
04:22:18 PM [Daniel] They are wanting to speak to you.
04:24:08 PM [WING] Sorry, I have no time as am having a dentist appointment within 30 minutes. So I have to go now. If any good news, please email me [protected]@hotmail.com. thanks. Otherwise, I will have to contact all medias by tomorrow. Thanks for attention.
04:27:05 PM [Daniel] okay, I am sending an E-mail to my supervisor and they will fill out what they need to for the escalation. Everything is all documented.
04:27:54 PM [WING] Great, and thanks for all your help and effort regardless the final outcome.
04:28:51 PM [Daniel] Yes, I want to thank you again for your patience, I wish I could have gotten this resolved for you but hopefully it gets sorted out for you in the end, was there anything else I can help you with in the meantime?
04:29:24 PM [WING] Not at the moment, thanks. Have a good day.
04:29:49 PM [Daniel] Thank you Wing, you have a good weekend.
04:31:14 PM [Daniel] I want to take the time to thank you for choosing Fido! I really wish we could've found a solution to your satisfaction today, however, I hope that you have an awesome day nonetheless!

I got a new phone Samsung galaxy S10+ from the mobile shop in spruce grove superstore with carrier Fido.
The guy in store made me pay 200 down and the plan was on XXL which is 105/month including tab.
After few days My cousin told me you getting much better deal in bell on same phone. When I went to bell and Inquire about it they were giving me Samsung galaxy S10+ for 0 down and same monthly plan of 105 per month and also on top $200 gift card.
So I went back to the mobile shop where i got the phone in spruce grove superstore for the price matching.
The sales rep who was there named Harsh was sooo rude to me when I asked him about the phone deal I was getting in bell.
His response was out of line and he told me to go away we don't do this price match and wen I said if you won't do then I will return the phone coz it's still in 15 day return policy.
The moment I said I will return if he won't help me and do price match he got more aggressive and he is bringing his own policy that we have 14 day return program not 15 soo I can't return.
I was shocked wen he told me that.
I told him I would like to talk to the store manager coz this is not right.
As the manager was not in store so he called him on phone and told him about the deals and I'm willing to return the phone if they don't do price match. ( manager name is neeraj )
They talked something on phone among themselves and then told me they can't do anything you have to keep the phone.
I told them it's your policy of price match or I will return.
I told them I have a complain about you and this store that such a bad customer service and these guys will do anything to do there sale and not helping customers.
Guy name harsh there who was the sales rep even threatened me that do go whatever you want and whoever to complain we won't take your phone back and not even do the price match.
I had a really bad experience with this kind of customer service I will never recommend to any of my friends or relatives to buy phones in that store.
I will be writing the google review as well for that particular store in spruce grove.

I have been with Fido over 6 years now . I should tell you it is getting worse when it come to customer service . Please ref # [protected] . Fido management does not want to keep their loyalty customers any longer . I owns two phone lines for years . My contact is over and I was promised a plan and I told that I will check out the phone and call back . When I call back no offers or phone in hand . No owner of word . Just do not care attitude from the manager I talk to . He just doesn't care . Just excuses. Your staff does a better job than your managers .
