Hey Everyone!
I just saw this thread and I thought I'd provide some more up-to-date information about the unlocking procedure in case anyone else were to come across this.
- Now, to unlock your device, your account must be in good standing and must satisfy one of the following criteria:
- A $50 fee (plus applicable taxes) applies. It will appear on your next invoice or will be deducted from your Prepaid balance.
- Unlocking your device via Fido will not void your manufacturer’s warranty.
- Only Fido devices can be unlocked by Fido. If you have an unlocked device from another carrier, see how to configure it to work with Fido.
- Unlocking your device will not terminate your Fido service or Fido Agreement, all aspects of your service remain unchanged.
I hope this helps!

If your friend canceled his account or has upgraded to another phone with Fido, then the contract obligations on the phone should be fulfilled. In that case, you or he can call Fido and request the phone be unlocked for $50. If the contract that was taken with the phone is still in place, then he can call Fido, pay the remaining termination fee and then request the phone be unlocked for another $50.

Go to any small cell store. They usually unlock for $10-$15. I had a Rogers Galaxy S3 unlocked for free as I was getting some other stuff there.
