Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Fido / December 20033390 cracked screen - what to do?
Hi all - I dropped my 3390 last night and the LCD cracked and no longer works. Does anyone know if: a) they can be fixed/replaced b) fido does this c) fido does this for a reasonable amount of $? :) Failing that, is anyone selling a 3390/5190/8390 in Vancouver? Thanks!

Glad you think you can rook Fido so easily. I'm sure you didn't consider that Fido has a record of their service with their social insurance number associated with their account? Fido will do a credit check before they authorize service. When they see that you just cancelled service you own you will not get any new subscriber benefits. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To send an email reply send to GSMthemobilestandard (@) yahoo.com >>>Hi all - I dropped my 3390 last night and the LCD cracked and no longer >>>works.

Fido has NO business collecting a SIN, and you shouldn't provide them with one. TTYL >> >>Hi all - I dropped my 3390 last night and the LCD cracked and no longer >> >>works.

Have you ever done anything before speaking? Companies can check credit by a number of different means of identification. In fact, it would be ILLEGAL if Fido ONLY took SIN numbers and didn't allow for other identification means. It is illegal to demand a SIN number in order to get service. It is however one of the easiest ways to get credit info (With the SIN number). Deep > >> >>Hi all - I dropped my 3390 last night and the LCD cracked and no longer > >> >>works.

Any business that has a tax relationship with you (i.e. bank, employer, stock broker) is entitled to collecting you SIN. Fido, or any other such service has NO RIGHT to ask for your SIN, and you SHOULD NOT give it to them. If they can't perform a credit check with your other details walk away. Giving away your SIN can open you up to identity theft more easily then almost any other piece of information. They are NOT entitled to get a SIN from you. > > >> >>Hi all - I dropped my 3390 last night and the LCD cracked and no > longer [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > details walk away.

Not, likely I was a 3 or four year customer When my 6190 was stolen, they would not even let me buy a used 6190 at the time they were for new customers only. I think it cost me $275.00, used they were half that. \ >if not - go to www.cellphoneshop.net and buy a replacement LCD. you should >be able to replace it yourself. you are going to need a Torx #6 screwdriver [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> >> Thanks! All you have to do is talk to the right department. ive been with Fido for just over 2 years.. and Ive had the 3390 then exactly 12 months later they gave me the 8390 for 100$.. I just purchased the T310 a month ago, which they gave to me for 50$. Fido customer service is great. Dont bother with a regular CSR... go directly to retentions. > Not, likely I was a 3 or four year customer When my 6190 was stolen, > they would not even let me buy a used 6190 at the time they were for > new customers only. > I think it cost me $275.00, > used they were half that. > Hi all - I dropped my 3390 last night and the LCD cracked and no longer > works.
