I am trying to determine if Fido network works for making calls to specific emergency numbers for Marine Rescues. These numbers are #727 or *16

Hello Rstrandt,

 

  Welcome to the community!

 

  While I cannot be certain those numbers are available through Fido, I assume that they would work in their regions of use. In case those numbers do not work, the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSaR) also recommends dialling 9-1-1 (see here). However, it should be noted that cellular services may not be available in areas of open water. Cellular services would be land based and require adequate reception.

 

  You should note these forums are community-driven and not intended as a venue for customer services. You might consider contacting customer service. They might be able to provide a more definitive answer. 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
