One more question, the transfer was meant to be completed yesterday which is the last day of Fido billing cycle. I now see Fido got into a new bill cycle. I do not have contract with Fido but do I still need to cancel the service to get remaining days of the month refund? or it will handle automatically when they see the number being transferred out?
This is a billing issue to be discussed with your old caarrier.
For postpaid plans, I have seen situations of customers being charged for the full month in advance, and sometimes the pro-rated refund doesn't come until the following bill. In those cases, you would actually have to pay the bill and then it would get a bill credit on the next bill. Unfotunately, that could lead to an extended period of time for the carrier to issue a refund (sometimes by cheque). You could choose not to pay the bill, but then believe it or not, sometimes, they mark the payment as being late and charge interest. They could also report to the credit bureau (although they might not for being only a month late). I have also seen carriers issue an updated bill immediately upon porting out, but this isn't always done.
