Not particularly related to Blackberry in any way but Rogers and Fido will be removing SAF. Hopefully Telus and Bell follow.

Goodbye to cellphone system access fees?

[A�aric]

Hopefully a sign of better things to come, though I'm sure both Rogers & Fido will come up with creative ways to recover that SAF.

It would be great if they did go with it but as the above poster said, they will mostly likely make up that loss in another way.

Maybe a $6.95 Active line fee?......

That'll be the day!

Has Rogers announced this? I've seen Fido but not Rogers.

[Rikter]

I know for being a good customer with Rogers they waived my SAF for a year.

Yea rogers is not that bad

except that 4 mb limit bastards didnt tell me

[jceezy]

from my understanding, its only fido.... it mentions nothing about rogers scrapping the SAF

"Rogers Communications Inc. is relaunching its Fido discount brand....The company still charges the $6.95 fee to its own Telus-branded postpaid customers, as does Rogers with its core offering."

you got me excited for a second...

Fido's relaunched "image" looks oohh so ugly..

Hmm the article seems contradictory then

"The Toronto-based company will relaunch Fido on Tuesday, according to the National Post, with new plans and a new logo. Rogers will also scrap the $6.95 monthly system access fee on postpaid customers. Prepaid Rogers and Fido customers already do not pay the fee"

and then further down they have the statement you quoted.

So not too sure on this one.

Was talking to a Rogers and they aren't going to scrap the SAF they are hiding or renaming.

I so agree..

I saw that on TV the other and I hoped it was only for this ad, their other image looked better, more sophisticated.. this one look like a cartoon..

[avmsam]

rogers is basically turning fido into their version of koodo or solo.

[onvisa]

I hope the lawsuit against all the wireless goes through and Rogers , bell telus have to Pay.

[mos]

Will fido add BlackBerrys to is phone line since is rebranding itself? Anyone knows

[Kenner]

doubtful, i believe they had bb's on fido before but not anymore, rogers is trying to brand fido for the younger consumer' and rogers would be for more of the business oriented or those willing to get into contracts.

[jimper88]

i think they are pushing to get the pearl before christmas or shortly there after

[Davey]

Hmmmm quite interesting, that fee is the biggest cash grab in the cellular world...

$7 goes a long way per month.... yet alone after a 3 year term

[lemon204]

so i guess these are the new plans for fido? http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/F...o=monthlyPlans

$25 for just 100 minutes? the only good thing is unlimited texting i guess but still not worth it
