Hey, I’m going on a road trip to Italy with my wife for a week in a few days, and we’re currently with Fido. We were wondering, how do Fido roaming charges work? Thank you for your response.
To understand how Fido roaming charges work, let’s break it down. Fido Roam is a service offered by Fido that allows you to use your Fido plan while traveling outside Canada. The charges for using Fido Roam are $12 per day for travel to the US and $15 per day for other international destinations. To activate Fido Roam, you need to ensure that your destination is eligible on Fido’s website and turn on data roaming in your phone’s settings. Fido Roam is automatically enabled on all Fido postpaid plans except for their Basic plans. If you wish to avoid Fido roaming charges, you can turn off Fido Roam by contacting Fido customer service before your trip. Alternatively, you can use Wi-Fi whenever possible or purchase an international SIM card.
