Transferring from Fido

I have a public mobile sim card and my present Fido monthly plan renews on the 26th of each month. Would you recommend I switch on the 25th to deactivate fido and bring my number over to public mobile?

That would be the best timing...to maximize the value of your money spent at Fido.

@Don_Hall, If your plan with FIDO is post paid, they should normally refund any unused portion of your monthly plan (that has been paid in advance). If it is pre-paid, then you would lose the balance. Note that the Fido account must remain active. It will be cancelled/closed when the tranfer to PM is completed.

I've heard of ports taking from minutes to 3 or 4 days. Make sure you have all the *required* information and that you put it in right.

@Don_Hall

My port from Fido took about 1 hour.

Just put in your Fido account number and Fido account holder name. Don't need to put other information like IME, PIN, etc.
