Hi,
I want to know how to quit Fido and take a new connection with the same number. I took my new SIM card on this sept. and it was OK for the last two months, from this month beginning I'm having the worst network ever. Much better connections than this are available in Indian rural's. Anybody, please help me with this...
Thanks

Hello Vishal00v,
Welcome to the community!
A couple of things to consider before switching providers...
What phone are you using? Was it purchased from Fido or brought over from abroad? If your phone doesn't have enough compatible bands/frequencies, coverage would be limited. The same would likely be true with the other providers as well. You can verify the Fido/Rogers compatible bands/frequencies here.
Have you verified the network settings and APN(s) on your phone are correct? You can verify the APN settings here.
Where are you generally located? Cellular service is dependent on proximity to cellular towers. If you are in an area with few or distant towers, coverage would also be limited. It may be that some of the other providers have closer towers to your location. You can get an idea of where the cellular towers are located in your area here.
If there are other towers which are closer to your location, you might avail of extended coverage. Enabling roaming will allow you to connect to Fido-EXT. You should be aware that extended coverage use is only meant on a short-term basis.
Are you having problems both inside and outside? Cellular service is also affected by interference issues such as local topography, trees, buildings, building materials, etc...
Hope this helps
Cheers
