Click Shop up top and select Plans and you'll see the plans on offer.

With those wants, this place doesn't match. It goes from $15 for 100 minutes and 250MB data then up to $25 for 1GB and unlimited calling.

@KD0979- the $25 plan comes with 1GB of data. 'Add-ons' are available, but rather expensive. It is usually better to move up to the next plan in order to get more data on a regular basis.

I am paying $30 for 10 GB data , unlimited calling with fido. But for me $30 is little more, to save $10 I am looking for something cheap in less data.

Hi @KD0979 no promotion at the moment that can bring the $25 to 3Gb. And honest, with your tight budget, it might be hard to get 3GB on any carrier

The closest plan that could meet your needs is the $30 plan. Check here

@KD0979

Regrettably, the 'jump' from $25 with only 1GB to $30 with 3- 0GB (your current plan), is unfortunately how the industry prices it plans.

They really don't 'want' folks on the lower end plans as they're margin is way better on the higher priced plans.

Even promos of extra data seem to only apply to $30 and up plans so they won't offer it on the lower priced plans.

Hate to say it, but it seems you're outa luck with your desires for what is offered here.

@KD0979 If you currently have 10GB for $30, then I think that's a pretty good deal and might be worth hanging onto unless you can live with a lot less data (9GB?) to save $5/cycle for the $25 plan.

The saving grace with PM's add-on data is that it's non-expiring so any amounts left will keep rolling over until completely depleted. This add-on only kicks in when you've used up plan data before renewal.

edit: BTW, PM has been giving free data (2GB) and LD minutes (500) add-ons to it's customers for the last 3 December holiday season.
