Hey @jtcafin!

 

Does this error occur once you launch the app or when you try to login?

 

Let us know. Smiley

It happens after typing the 4 digit code I received by a text message. 

 

1: I type my phone number

2: I type the 4 digit code

3: I get the error message

Thanks @jtcafin!

 

Is your iOS 8.2 and above?

I have the latest iOS.

Thanks @jtcafin !

 

Seems like you're not fully logging in on the app. Instead of getting the 4 digit code can you log in with your MyAccount username and password?

I selected “I don’t have phone number” and then login option was displayed. I logged in successfully and now the app works fine. Thanks for your help.

Awesome, happy it all works now, @jtcafin! Smiley

Hey @Nolanchaves

 

Welcome to the Community. Smiley 

 

I moved your post as it seems to fit in here. 

 

I am sad to see you're experiencing difficulties with our App. Can you tell us if you had the chance to test out a few of the troubleshooting steps? Did you uninstall and reinstall the App? 

 

Can you also try logging in with your email address as a username? 

 

Last but not least, what happens when you try to log in to My Account with your email directly through Fido.ca

 

Let us know.

I have deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times. I can log in with my email and password on Fido.ca and on the Fido app by pressing I don’t have a Fido number. The issue is I need to log in with my Fido number to use my free bytes of data. Every time I try and log in with it it sends me the code for authentication and once I put it in a get the error message session expired. I don’t know what to do.

Hey @Nolanchaves

 

We'll need to take a look into this further with you.  I'll send you a PM so we can do that!

 

Talk to you soon Smiley

Hello,

 

I am experiencing the same problem with the Fido My Account app as described in this thread. The app stopped loading for me (error message appears), so I tried:

 

1. deleting and re-installing the app;

2. tried to get the app to forward me the verification code by entering my Fido number; and

3. tried to login with the “I don’t have a Fido number” option by entering my username and password; 

 

but none of the above options are working. I get either an error message, or a message saying the app has hit a snag. I need to be able to login to use my Databytes, please help!

Hey @mindymywong

 

Thank you for providing all of this information. It would seem that you covered a big part of our general troubleshooting steps here. 

 

In this case, I'll send you a PM so we can take a closer look into this together.

Hi there,

 

I am am experiencing the same issue now on a new iPhone 8 Plus. Ported over from Rogers.

 

Has there been a solution to the problem from a month ago or is this still ongoing? 

 

I have tried all the troubleshooting I have seen on these theads but nothing works. And since everyone is take in a private DM there is no update on any thread as to if there was an actual resolution. 

 

Databytes is is the reason I signed up with Fido versus Koodo last week.

I'll have to flag it @josueperez, sending a PM your way right about now!
