Do iPhones Require a Data Plan With Fido?

I was looking into an iPhone 5 with Fido, because the 16gb model is only $180, but I'm not sure if I need a data plan to activate it. The website doesn't say anything about needing a data or iPhone exclusive plan, but some websites, like Telus, do.

I don't want a Data plan, I just want the standard $20/month unlimited text plan.

Smartphones require data plans.

You're correct, the Fido website doesn't clearly say.
Considering that the phone is valued at about $700 http://gdeluxe.com/iphone-5-price-in-usa-canada-uk-australia-more/#more-20740, it would be logical that Fido requires a minimum monthly bill of $50 before tax is added. The same applies to all of the major Canadian carriers. It also looks like you must sign a 3 year contract.

  • Who can unlock my iphone 5 with fido? My uncle got me an iphone 5 for my birthday with fido. But i'm actually with rogers. Is there a site person or place that can unlock my phone.
  • Is it possible to unlock Fido iPhone without being with Fido? I'm with Chatr, is there a way I can unlock this Fido iPhone or do I have to go to Fido? In better terms, do I have to have a Fido account to unlock this phone? Or can I just walk to any Fido store and pay the unlocking fee?
  • Is there a local radio iPhone app that doesn't require Wi-Fi or data? So I can listen to the radio while outside, I remember having an iPod woth abuilt in radio that I could listen to just about anywhere.
  • IPhone locked to Fido, yet doesn't work with Fido SIM? I broke my samsung phone, so my brother is letting me use his old iPhone 5, and I went to Fido (the company we've been using for years and both our phones have been with them) and I bought a SIM card for it and activated it, but when I put it into the iPhone, it says that it's an invalid SIM stating that the iPhone is locked to another carrier which if it is it wouldn't matter because it's the same carrier.
