  @Fidomobile I originally signed up because of their $27 plan for 80gb Can/US/Mex, overall a great deal. Thing is, the service is really bad in my area. I can currently get around 500mbps down with Bell where I live, and with Fido I consistently get 2-3, maybe up to around 20mbps. (2/21)

  @FidoMobile, I’m extremely disappointed with the current customer service experience. After 30 minutes navigating an AI system with no resolution, the only option to speak with a representative was to schedule an appointment a week in advance. As a customer of 20 years, this level of service is unacceptable and has led me to reconsider my loyalty. @Bell, do you currently offer access to live customer service agents for long-term customers?

  @Fidomobile I understand you can’t give me specific shipping details over Twitter, and I’m not asking you to. What I am asking is whether the 1–2 day shipping timeframe that was advertised when I placed my order is still being honoured, or whether my order has actually been moved to back order. I placed the order specifically because the advertised shipping time changed from 4+ weeks to 1–2 days. Now my order says “BACK ORDERED” and “Shipping estimate: Unavailable.” If the 1–2 day timeframe I was promised at the time of purchase is being honoured, then there’s no issue. But if I’ve actually been put on back order with no shipping timeframe, I need to cancel the order. I’m simply not going to start paying for a phone I don’t have. That doesn’t make sense in any universe, and it’s not happening. My current phone works perfectly well and has plenty of storage. If this order means waiting weeks for an upgrade I only decided to buy because the advertised shipping time dropped to 1–2 days, I’ll just skip the upgrade this cycle altogether. So please just confirm whether the shipping timeframe advertised when I placed the order is still being honoured. If it is, great. If not, I’ll cancel. As I stated, I'm not going to pay off the current phone I am still using to then start paying down a phone I don't have and don't know when I'll have in my possession. I really do not appreciate the bait and switch. I watched that phone for weeks and jumped on it when the shipping time dropped to 1-2 days. In the email I received from you, it said I should expect my phone in 2-5 days, which fits with the 1-2 day shipping time. If you're unavailable to meet that for your customers, WHY was it posted online?

  I have a @Fidomobile cell & the signal is terrible where I live. Frequent dropouts, no 5g. I'm done with it. Went to a @FreedomMobile store and, respect to them, they admitted their signal is weak where I live too. They're new, so I'll wait, and their integrity won't be forgotten

  @FidoSolutions @Fidomobile ChatGPT seems correct: "What you saw is not accidental: AskJack has hard stop conditions. . .: Pushes a canned message. . . Disables input to prevent further escalation Repeating “agent,” “human,” or “callback” does not override this..."–@Fido has PROGRAMMED it to REFUSE to help.

  Shame on you @Fidomobile @RogersHelps — 24+ hrs and no callback. After onboarding me back, you became irresponsible. Ambassador agent Chinedu misled me with false info. Fed up with this scam-like experience. Kindly confirm my issue ASAP or I’ll move back to my old provider. #scam

  @Fidomobile why is service so utterly **** at Lakeshore and Mississauga Rd?! I barely get data, I can never make effing calls. I've got to restart my phone constantly to get service here and it's been almost 3 years of it now! I'm nearong my wits end!

  @Fidomobile has the worst access to customer service and technical support I've had in my life. I think I made a huge mistake signing up with them! #mobilefail
