Fido can tell when you're roaming outside Canada. After all they send you a text message to tell you about their roaming rates.

Fido should automatically block roaming until the customer replies to that text to explicitly consent to roaming. Of course they'll never do that because it's far more profitable for them to act dumb.

I had a Galaxy Note 3 on this plan for a while, then it got stolen, so I bought a new Fido SIM card and put it in a new phone (an old Moto E) and called Fido to activate the new SIM card, but I can't get any data. I also tried it in a Moto G4+ and a Samsung Galaxy S5 and those didn't work either. Any ideas?

This happened to me back in August. I've been on this plan since Aug 2016. Data was working in my Oneplus 2 phone all the way up until the beginning of July. Then it just stopped working. I didn't do anything about it for almost 2 months, then I went to visit a Fido store. They swapped to a new sim card, then all of a sudden, things started working.

Maybe you have a faulty sim.

No such luck. It means you sent one text (going to cost you) and are welcome to send an unlimited number at (I think) $0.25 each

Nope, I didn't send any text, I had the plan for over 1 year and I blocked texting since day one.

Just interpreting the screen shot. See, "Anytime - 1 texts"
Call it in. They will credit you.

In case someone asked this before I apologize (early morning here zzzzish) and not wading through 200+ pages. Will a phablet phone (in my case a LG G4) work with this deal seeing as it is for tablets?

any device unlocked or locked to Fido will work assuming its compatible with the bands that the Rogers network uses.

Per text.

Note however that others have posted that they managed to get value packs and text packs on this plan. So, as usual for Fido, this stuff seems YMMV.

I inquired myself on adding the value pack and the CSR looked at my plan and said nope. It's not available with the data only plan. Otherwise, I would have 3 gigs + 2500 minutes? and unlimited text for $7.50 + $15. / month. I highly doubt that YMMV. Otherwise, everyone would jump onboard with this workaround. If others have got it, I sincerely envy you.

anyone else got locked out of their fido online account?

I called two days ago, was told I'd be getting a p/w reset email to no avail.

Today, I called again and was told to call a number. When I called, it was the Rogers Fraud Department.

I just want to change my pre-authorized payment to my new Rogers WE MC card.

Someone using an known IP address hacked into my account and tried to order a phone lol.

I don't think I had a credit card on file except for pre-authorized bill payments but the card rarely has enough credit limit to buy a thousand dollar phone.
