Hi Dear Fido, 

 

Thank you for your generous help to Irannian community to make easier for them to stay connected to their families. As we are approaching October 17th and the Internet connectivity in Iran is the same if not the worse as the last three weeks, I (and on belaf of many Irannian friends) was wondering if you can extend the free free long distance calls to Iran for some more time? 

 

We really appretiate your kindness in advance. 

 

Thanks,

Please extend the free call to Iran. People in Iran still do'nt have access to the internet. We're going to be worried about our families and beloved ones.

Hey Fido,

We really appreciate your support. Iran's situation is getting worse day by day, and our families still do not have access to Internet. Please extend free calls to Iran. We really need to talk to our beloved ones:(

Thank you for being supportive and standing by the Iranian people.

today is Oct 17th, and the internet is still shutting down in Iran. Do you happen to have a decision to extend the period?

Thank you so much for your support.

As the internet connection in Iran still has major distruptions and is completely shut down in some regions, we would really appreciate it if you could continue your support for your Iranian-Canadian customers by helping them stay connected to their loved ones during these unprecedented times.

Hi. 

 

Thank you so much for consideration and support during this difficult period. It's been really helpful to connect to families now that the internet is heavily constrained by Iran. However, the situation is getting even worse and they are putting more limitations and internet is literally shut down Iran. With that being said, I was wondering if you could extend your offer for another couple of weeks? thanks

Hi everyone,

 

For those who are wondering, we’re now waiving long distance charges and text messages from Canada to Iran until the end of day of October 19, 2022. 

 

The original blog post was updated. 🙂

Thank you, Fido! It was a great relief in these gloomy days!

Although as I noticed your international rates to Iran are going to be even higher than before after this period of kindness!

Hi Fido, 

 

Thanks for extendig to 17th October. We appretiate your kindness but since there is still almost a complete Internet sutdown in Iran, our request is to extend the free call for a  bit longer time (even by putting a free time limit per day). So I was wondering if you can still follow up on our request and see if you can extend it for more time.

 

Thank you in advance,

Hi there 

 

As the internet restrictions are still going on and we are still having lots of difficulties communicating family back home,  is this going to extend ?

If it is not possible to extend your free service to ran but you can give us a very good rate to be able to connect with our loved ones in Iran till we can have another way of communication.

How about now?! Still internet is blocked and we can't get a hold of our loved ones. 
Please extend long distance calls to Iran again.

Hi fido, 

 

We still have difficulty in connecting to our family in Iran. Is there any update on our requests for extending the long distance call to Iran ?
