Fido Phone 'Network Unlock Code' and 3G speed

KSHpm — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:44:43 GMT

Just sign up PM's $40 plan today using a Fido phone (Galaxy S5 neo) and had a small hiccup but ok and happy now...

Before I sign up, I did the phone check on PM web site. Result of the check was that my phone is compatible so I ordered the Sim card. When I inserted the SIM, it asked for a network unlock code when I turned phone on. As it turned out, that meant my phone was locked to the Fido network. All I had to do was to call Fido's 1-800 number and gave them the IMEI number and then they gave me the unlock code over the phone. All works perfectly now. 3G download speed was about 2.5Mb/s... works for Netflix and YouTube with no problems.

Thank you for your information. My friend is a Fido customer with the plan is going to expire. She considers to tranfer to PM, but worry about the iPhone (locked) which was given by Fido with plan contract. Now, I can ask her to call Fido for the unlock code.
