Hello Beckyzb,

  Welcome to the community!

  It appears as though that message from 89001 might indeed be from Fido (see here). Apparently, they introduced a new system for notifying customers about pay-per-use charges. I understand you might not have intended on making long-distance calls, however, is it possible you were not aware some phone numbers were from the US? Canadian and US phone numbers look identical and the only way to differentiate them is their area codes (see here). For example, if someone with a US mobile number is in Canada, it might not be readily apparent their phone number would be considered long-distance.

  You should note this forum is community-driven and not intended as a venue for customer services. If you would like to discuss those charges, you would need to contact customer service. I understand you have already attempted to contact them using that number. In addition, they can also be contacted via Live Chat, Facebook, or Twitter. Those methods can be accessed via the contact page posted above.

Hope this helps 😀

Cheers
