Hey @Gohopalong1,

Welcome to the Community

What happens when you try to activate it? Is there an error message on your side and if yes, what's the error?

I would suggest clearing the cache and cookies of your browser or try a different browser to see if that helps.

Keeps us posted!

Hey @Baljitkaur

SIM cards for monthly accounts can only be activated on Fido.ca via MyAccount or in a Fido store. For prepaid accounts it can only be done in a store.

To do it on Fido.ca select the Services tab, and click on Mobile. You'll find the Update SIM Card link lower down the page, under Quick Actions

Keep in mind that for a postpaid account, if you do not have the old SIM Card number then activation on Fido.ca will not work. You must pass by a store to activate your SIM card.

Hope this helps! 😀

Hi,

The procedure to update SIM card online seems user-friendly when I login. I would like to confirm a few things before my new phone arrive:

1. My 5 years old phone and SIM card is a Micro. My new phone has LTE support, so in order to get LTE, I will have to order a new NANO SIM card which has LTE capabilities?

2. Do I need to do some cutting of the new SIM card to make it a NANO size?

3. Will my phone number or plan get altered or disturbed with installation of a new NANO SIM. I have BYOP plan and my assumption/knowledge is that updating a SIM card shall not alter any of it.

Hey orion_squall!

If you need a new SIM card, because your old SIM card is a different format or a newer SIM card is required in order to take advantage of all the features of your new device, a new SIM card will come with your new device. There is no need to order one separately.

Our SIM card now come in a multi-SIM format that supports Regular, Micro and Nano formats, which means that you can break off the SIM card in the size that you need for your phone.

Your phone number and plan will not change is any way by activating a new SIM card on your line.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi alsaediahned & welcome to the Community.

To activate your SIM card, you simply need to log into Fido.ca, select the Services tab, and click on Mobile. You'll then see the option Update SIM Card.

Cheers!

There is nothing "simple" about it, because it asks you for the old SIM number. What if there is no old SIM number, because you've just opened a new plan?

FidoKenny

Hey @marcinchady and thanks for reaching out.

It would ask the old sim card if you click on *CHANGE SIM CARD* on your online account.

It would not ask you this for a brand new activation.

If you have trouble activating your sim card, don't hesitate to let us know.
