It's a regular plan from maybe 10 years ago. We didn't want to pay for all the bells and whistles and wanted the bare minimum. DH and I are mostly home and don't need to text or phone so we use Fongo for free phone calls. Kids were at school at that time so wanted to text. If I needed to make a phone call when I'm out, I just connect to the store or mall Wifi and use Fongo.
I guess Fido don't like us paying so little so they got rid of our plan to try to force us to pay more. People in the same boat as us on that other forum did some research and complain. We didn't want to lose our balance and that was what was offered, some people got it some didn't but DH persisted and got it for us.
For my account, we allowed Fido to charge us the $10 for the month and then complaint to the CRTC saying Fido broke the agreement and CRTC agreed. Something along those lines. It's a great tip. I had over $400 and DH has like maybe $150 balance. We would've lost all that if not for those discussions.

Being cheap pays off, lol.
