Hey guys and gals.
I have this old and unusual flip phone that I'd like to get using data.
It does not support LTE to my knowledge, and has a very weird settings menu.
The settings available are as follows:
Access point name (menu)
Title:
Authentication: (No, medium, high)
User name:
Password:
(only appear if auth set to medium or above)
APN:
Internet profiles (menu)
Profile name:
Use proxy: (off/on)
Proxy address:
Proxy port: (cannot be blank)
Access point: (lets you choose a setup you made in the access point name menu)
Edit: found a third menu, under messages, message settings, MMS, message center
Message center (menu)
Name:
MMSC URL:
Internet profile: (choose your setting from the access point name menu)
I've tried a number of combinations from various sources (including the fido official APN page) and can't get either MMS or internet to work.
Does anyone wiser than I have an idea?

Hello DaveTheMedic,
Welcome to the community!
Not sure about wiser, but I'll give it a try! 😂
You are correct in that the phone only supports 2G and 3G.

Thanks Cawtau.
Using your solution and an amalgamation of others, I found the following settings worked for me. I was able to get both MMS and internet working!
Starting with access point name:
Title: fido
Auth: no
APN: fido-core-appl1.apn
Internet profiles:
Profile name: fido
Proxy: On
Proxy address: 205.151.011.013
Proxy port: 80
Access point: fido
Message center:
Name: fido
MMSC URL: MMS.fido.ca
Internet profile: Fido
In order to get the internet to work:
Settings > applications > browser > accounts
Homepage: google.com (must be a working website)
Internet profile: fido
Hopefully this information is useful to a future explorer.
