Change number, problems

[Fido__user]

Hello,
I can't change my number during 2 days. After choosing the number and pressing "NEXT button" I receive this message: "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties and cannot complete your request at this time. If you require immediate assistance, please call 1 888 481-FIDO (3436) and a customer service representative will be happy to assist you. Thank you and we apologize for any inconvenience."
Can you help me? I would like to do it online and don't pay $35.

Best regards

Hi Ashif_eee1,

[ashif_eee1]

Yes sir!.

I have taken the SIM from Eaton Center downtown, Toronto and now trying to select a new number for Toronto City.

Were you able to do the change in the store? 

If not, please let me know, I'll send you a private message so we can look into changing the number.

Hi, I'm sorry I'm posting to an old thread, but I have the same problem. Is there an easy solution for it?

[FidoKenny]

Hey Lormus.

There was a maintenance ont the Fido website yesterday on November 7th until today at 12:00 PM Eastern time.

This might be why you couldn't do the change.

Are you still experiencing problems accessing Fido.ca to change your phone number?

[stuartdure]

Issue has been causing me grief since moving from Montreal to Toronto two months ago.

Everytime I find a number I want to change to, I select it and get the same old, "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties and cannot complete your request at this time"  BS.

Really suprised that Fido hasn't addressed this long standing issue. I wonder if it's a cash grab thing where they'd sooner force the user to pay $35 for the change than repair their broken site.
