Hello Cody_W,
Welcome to the community!

Lets face the truth, out here in BC, Fido has a lot of 3G coverage spots that are well covered by the other big 2 carriers on their LTE network.....
It's true that if you're outside of Fido/Rogers coverage, your phone should be able to access the other networks with extended coverage (Fido-EXT). That's a part of the roaming agreements. However, I do not believe it is Fido or Rogers who do not wish you to use the other networks while within their coverage. It's more likely the other networks who would like to prevent unnecessary roaming. If you're within Fido/Rogers coverage, the roaming agreements would not apply. If a phone uses the other networks outside of those agreements, those providers would prefer you pay them for your services.
Hope this helps 
Cheers
Hey again Fido Community,
Then new software update comes out, and Service Provider X takes feature A away (whether purposely or accidental bug), yet Service Provider Y and Z still offer feature A....
To add on the update provided above, this is currently impacting Iphone users on IOS 12. Customers on iOS 12 don’t have the option to change their network settings. This option is still available for others.
We are working with Apple to enable this feature in iOS12 as Apple expects to have the network settings updated later this year. Though we do not have exact timing to share at this moment.
Hope this clarifies.
Hey @cody_w,
Were you able to sort this out?
In addition to Pamela's answer, normally a full restore of the phone through iTunes will fix the issue.
Keep us posted.
