It needs to be compatible with Fido's
- 700 MHz on Band 17;
- 1700/2100 MHz on Band 4;
- 2600 MHz on Band 7.
looks like in 2600 band 7 it's compatible but I don't know what AWS 4 is for 1700.
Hello Hurric,
That phone is fully compatible with Fido/Rogers' 2G and '3G' networks as it has 850MHz and 1900MHz for both networks.
With regards to LTE, that phone is compatible with two of the three frequencies/bands Fido/Rogers uses. AWS stands for advanced wireless services and refers to band 4 (1700/2100MHz). It is sometimes simply referred to as 1700MHz to avoid confusion with 2100MHz of band 1.
So, that phone is compatible with band 4 and band 7 on the LTE network.
Hope this helps 
Cheers

Hey there,
I have another one to ask about:
- Connectivity Technology: GSM + WCDMA + TDD LTE + FDDLTE(Single Micro-SIM Card)
- Network Band: :GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz + WCDMA 900/2100MHz + LTE: FDD B3/B7/B20+TDD B38/B39/B40
Thanks!

Hello Jjjjjggdifgfg,
That phone is compatible with the 2G network as it has both 850 and 1900MHz. Unfortunately, that phone does not have either of the compatible '3G' frequencies.
With regards to LTE, Fido/Rogers uses FDD so the TDD bands would not work. That phone has only one compatible LTE frequency, 2600MHz or band 7. You should be aware that, with only band 7, LTE coverage could be limited depending on the surrounding towers.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Hi there Hafling
Fido LTE customers can experience typical download speeds ranging from 12 to 25 Mbps, even up to 40 Mbps (depending on the device model). If the "LTE Symbol" appears on the top bar of the phone, you are connected to LTE.
If the symbol indicates 4G, you are therefore connected to the 4G network. You can move between LTE, 4G HSPA+ and/or
EDGE networks without any interruption of service.
You can take a look at our LTE coverage map here
I hope this helped; keep us posted if need be.
Here's everything you should know regarding the compatibility and the configuration of an unlocked phone http://bit.ly/FidoUnlockedDevice

Hello Rachel,
I believe that page needs updating. Fido/Rogers' LTE bands/frequencies are: Band 4 (AWS, 1700/2100 MHz); Band 7 (2600 MHz); and Band 17 (700 MHz).

Hello Chorong761,
Have you seen my replies to other people above. They seem to apply to yourself as well.
Cheers
@chorong761 wrote:I've found a way to use LTE on just the 2600MHz band without AWS or 2100 Band 4. It worked for me
The solution for my South Korean Galaxy S5 Prime (SM-G906S) (SKT, KT, LG U+ all the same) is to set the phone to LTE B7 in the service menu.
To access the service menu, type in 319712358 in your dialpad to access the service menu.
The passwords for:
SKT: 996412
KT: 774632LG U+: 0821
After that, click on Network Settings --> Network Mode and choose LTE B7
Hope this helps for other Korean phone users!
Hello Chorong761,
Very interesting! I'm glad you were able to come up with a solution.
Cheers

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Korea, SM-G900K model, it seems per specs on manufactuers site, i have all the band frequency required for LTE, but not getting the LTE band. can anyone tell me if this phone is compatible or not?
Hello Westsidej2k,
I'll assume that you have a working LTE Sim and proper APNs.
Is this the correct phone model that you have? Sorry, I cannot read Korean but am taking a guess that it's the same one.
http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/kt/SM-G900KZKEKTO-spec
If it is, then you would be correct in thinking that B7(2600) and B17(700) are correct band/frequencies. Unfortunately, however, Fido/Rogers uses Band 4 or AWS (1700/2100) rather than Band 1 (2100) as stated in those specifications.
If you are sure that you have a working LTE Sim and that your APNs are correct, then it appears that this phone is proof that Advanced Wireless Services (AWS or Band 4) is required to access the LTE network (see some of my previous posts).
I'm curious, are you able to access the 3G network?
Cheers
