Fido, getting a touch more annoying.

So my Fido bill comes today. Nothing new, this happens monthly. And I open it as usual, looking annoyingly at how much I have to pay to simply have my email sent to my phone. (ooh $25 a month for 7MB, bargain!) and long distance (almost $8 for a 30 min call to my mom, who’s about 100 km away) but wait, today there’s more!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: PRICING MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR FIDO SERVICE

ooh are you going to start charging me something sensible?

I read on…

TEXT MESSAGING SERVICE

Please note that effective March 4, 2008, the rate for sending a text message from Canada to international wireless numbers is changing to $0.25 (from $0.20)

oh goody. Thanks. Just what I wanted, to pay you more to text my friends in the UK.

The rate for sending a text message while roaming in the United States is changing to $0.60 (from $0.40). Text messages sent while roaming are not included in any text messaging option.

Well thanks.

I won’t even bore you with the increase in the Call Display and Voice Messaging, and the Directory Assistance.
