Back in February we posted about Fido, one of Canada’s hugely backward mobile networks. They had finally introduced an unlimited data plan. Finally. Good news, because the innovation at Fido — and across the Canadian networks in general is nothing short of caveman.

Well a reader has just posted this update showing you just how backward the company is:
Oh and did you know that the new unlimited data bundle is limited ONLY to phones bought through Fido?? I have an unlocked Nokia 6110 Navigator and Fido reps refused to let me subscribe to the new bundle They insisted that I had to buy a locked Fido phone first.
Oh dear. Oh dear me.
Most operators you speak to couldn’t give a toss what handset you’re using as long as you’re paying them (ideally more) money each month.
Demanding you buy a Fido handset in order to benefit from the unlimited data bundle is the height of nonsense.
