Hello Iversa,
Welcome to the community!
Fido's plans include either a limited or unlimited number of minutes. Canada-wide calling means that those minutes already include Canadian long-distance. On the other hand, with plans which only include local (or Provincial) calling, Canadian long-distance would be additional for calls outside of their local calling areas. For example, a customer with Canada-wide calling can call Vancouver to Toronto without additional long-distance charges, whereas a customer with local calling making that same call from Vancouver to Toronto would incur additional long-distance charges.
With plans which only have a limited number of minutes, any usage in excess of the allotted minutes would be additionally charged at the rate provided. If you have a plan with unlimited minutes, that overage rate is not applicable.
What plan do you have?
**edit** You should note that both incoming and outgoing calls count as airtime minutes and both would be deducted from any minute allotments**
Hope this helps 😀
Cheers
Hello again,
Thank you for the additional information.
Since the plan states that it includes Unlimited Canadian minutes, any calls you make to Canadian phone numbers and any calls received (while in Canada) will be included. So yes, you can call any Canadian phone number at any time of day without incurring additional charges. Though, you should note that calls to premium phone numbers will likely incur additional fees.
I understand the details also mentions Unlimited evenings and weekends. That specification would really only be applicable on plans with a limited number of minutes. Since the plan in which you're interested includes unlimited minutes, that point is moot.
Hope this helps 😀
Cheers
Hello again,
I apologise for the confusion. The premium phone numbers I provided in the link above would include services such as psychic hotlines, party chat lines, etc. Calling those numbers is charged for the service. In addition, some Quickdial numbers (ie 4-1-1) are also charged for the service.
The point that was moot (unlimited evenings and weekends) has no bearing on additional fees with that plan because the Unilimited Canadian minutes includes evenings and weekends.

Yes, calling phone numbers with Brampton area codes (ie 905) is included with that plan.
Hope this clarifies 😀
Cheers
