TORONTO – Fido customers on select plans may stop searching for WiFi and tap in to one free hour of data, five times a month – on top of the data included in their plans.
The Rogers-owned wireless company said Wednesday that the new feature, known as Data Bytes, is available to all Fido Pulse plan customers while connected to the Fido network. With a simple shake of their phone while in the Fido My Account app, customers may start a session and track their remaining time by the minute. A notification will let them know when the free data session has ended.
"Data is how our customers stay connected to what matters to them and we're giving them access to more data for those moments they need it most," said Rogers’ consumer president Dirk Woessner, in the news release. "With an extra 5 free hours of data every month, Fido Pulse plan customers are getting even more value and flexibility with their plans and access to a new feature that they can't get anywhere else in Canada."
