Fido is one of the most affordable Canadian mobile plans, particularly for students. The network offers nationwide coverage and includes exclusive student-exclusive offers like bonus data and waived activation fees. Check out the available plans at Fido’s official website or SIM for Canada’s portal and select the one that best fits your data and calling needs. Follow the prompts to complete the registration process and activate your new Fido SIM card.
Fido sim card activation or Subscriber Identity Module, is a small chip that identifies your cellular signal and holds info like your phone number. It is inserted into a slot in your smartphone or tablet, either physically or digitally (using an eSIM). You may have to restart the device after entering the code and activating your eSIM. It’s also a good idea to test your device’s connection by making a call or sending a text message to ensure that the sim is working properly.
Best Canadian SIM Cards for International Travelers
A Fido SIM can be purchased at the carrier’s online or in-store retail locations, including its flagship store in Vancouver. The company has also partnered with other retailers and third-party dealers, such as Best Buy, Costco, Tbooth, Walmart, and WirelessWave. Loblaw Companies’ Zellers stores once offered prepaid phones, and at one point Shoppers Drug Mart was a Rogers-exclusive retailer that sold both prepaid devices and postpaid service from Fido, Chatr, and Rogers. These partnerships ended in 2011, when the store began selling only prepaid top-up vouchers from these providers.
