Hello Kdjang,
Welcome to the community!
I don't think the Unlimited calling has changed. Those full description details do not indicate whether there are any minute allotments associated with the plan. That detail only denotes that any included minutes (limited or unlimited) would include long-distance for calls made to Canadian phone numbers.
I do understand what you're saying, though. The details of my current plan only mention Unlimited Canadawide minutes as well. However, I do remember the same weekend and evening stipulation stated in the full description when I got my plan (years ago). I think our plan details don't mention those stipulations because they include unlimited minutes, whereas the full description details provided when purchasing are more generic for both limited and unlimited minute plans. As mentioned previously, the minute information under the details are redundant if the plan has Unlimited Canada minutes because evenings and weekends would already be included. Also, the additional minutes are not applicable since the plan already includes unlimited minutes. While most plans do include unlimited minutes, some plans have a limited number of call minutes included for which the evening and weekend detail would apply.
It should be noted that the Canada-wide minutes include calls made to Canadian phone numbers while you are within Canada. If you use services outside of Canada (even calls to Canadian phone numbers; note Wifi-calling exception), that would be considered roaming and additional roaming charges would apply.
Hope this helps 😀
Cheers
Hello SDaniel,
Welcome to the community!
I can understand the confusion! The minute information under the details are redundant if the plan has Unlimited Canada minutes because evenings and weekends would already be included. Also, the additional minutes are not applicable since the plan already includes unlimited minutes Those details originated for plans with limited minutes like some of Fido's older plans. I'm not sure why Fido continues lists the additional minute cost and Unlimited evenings and weekends and circle calling in the details for plans with Unlimited Canada minutes.
Any plan which includes Unlimited Canada minutes would offer you unlimited Canada-wide calling anytime.
Hope this helps 😀
Cheers
Hello again,
Where are you seeing those changes? Are you referring to pre-paid or post-paid plans? As far as I can tell, all of their post-paid plans which include talk state Talk: Unlimited Canada min in their short descriptions. The details might mention Canada-wide calling as a feature of the included minutes. However, is that not the same as what was shown previously like in your original post? There are some plans which do not include any calling. However, the details of those plans do not mention minutes at all.
If the plans state that they include Talk: Unlimited Canada min, then there are no time-of-day restrictions nor limit restrictions.
Some pre-paid plans do offer a limited number of included minutes, but it would be stated.
Hope this helps 😀
Cheers
Hello @jacksprocket,
Welcome to the community!
The plan does have unlimited Canada-wide calling, the footnote would only apply to plans with a fixed amount of minutes or with no minutes.
However, no plan comes with free call forwarding so if you do call forwarding you will be charged as noted in your screenshot unless you have the add-on that gives you 2500 free call forwarding minutes.
