Billing error
It looks like Fido/Rogers has a big problem with their billing software. Every time I changing my monthly plan I'm getting bill with errors. It costs me plenty of time and nervous to solve them and and not always they want to listen you and sometimes calling black as white. So be careful when you changing your Fido plan

Third Party Charges
I have a total bill of C$ 325.25 of a Third Party from my FIDO bill. Basically this amount started from May 25 to April 8, 2011 by sending Text message from Mobirok, (Mobirok) 2WayTraffc(METQZ), Mobilie Messenger(Pure Crush), SendMe(Solow), Mobile media Sol(Millionaire Secrets), Fox Mobile(Jamster) . They really made good trick fooling us by starting different ways and techniques. Can the government intervine on this case ? Were can i file a complaint as a consumer on this matter?

Roaming charges
In March I went on a short holiday to Mexico, Puerto Vallarta. I took my iPhone with me and before leaving purchased an option that would provide cheaper calls. As a precautionary measure, I turned data roaming off before leaving Canada. In addition to having data roaming turned off, the phone was turned off. On two occasions I tried to get onto the hotels free wi fi. A total waste of time, the iPhone wouldn't pick up anything! I turned data off and the phone off and left the phone in my rooms safe deposit box, turned off. Recently Fido have contacted me to inform me that I owe $560.00 for data roaming. The first time I was called I explained that the phone was turned off for almost the total duration of my vacation. The CSR said don't worry Sir we get these complaints all the time, the iPhone tends to pick up data easily. She added that it would be investigated. I have since received more calls and texts from Fido requesting their $560.00 for data downloads while I was away. In simple terms, the iPhone didn't work while in Mexico, so it was left turned off, both data and the phone. During the week I was away, it couldn't have been on for more than 5 minutes and of course it didn't work! I have told Fido that if they persist with this attempt to extort me that I will no longer continue to use their service. Of course I'll be stung for prematurely ending the contract and I don't want a mark against my credit worthiness. However, I will still do it on principle.

Other than approach the Better Business Bureau, which reading other complaints, isn't that effective with Fido, it's difficult to see how to get any sort of justice. The whole data roaming thing is a license to print money, and a lot of it. If you have an iPhone, there aren't too many services you can use in Canada. All useful suggestions welcome.

THIRDPARTY CHARGES
I RECEIVED MY CELL PHONE APRIL BILL, SURPRISINGLY, THERE ARE CHARGES OF 4 COMPANIES, THAT I NEVER BEEN CONTACT WITH FOR ANY REASONS. THE BILL CAME TO ALMOST $ 180.00. I AM SHOCKED, AND HAVE PHONE FIDO TO ASK WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIRDPARTY CHARGES FOR PREMIUM TEXTS, THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID I HAVE TO CONTACT THESE COMPANIES TO UNSUBSCRIBE MY CELL FROM IT. I NEVER SUBSCRIBE THEM INITIALLY, WHY I HAVE TO PHONE THEM TO UNSUBSCRIBE? FIDO DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT THEIR CUSTOMER FROM THESE SCAMMERS. I FELT I GOT RIPOFF BY THEM AND FIDO. WHAT CAN BE DONE? WILL THERE IS ANY ANSWER TO THIS MATTER? THANKS, L. HUYN

Cellular Over Charges
My Family was using Fido mobile service and I was shocked when I saw the bill of my daughter, I was the one who is paying her bills and I noticed that she was being overcharges which is ridiculous because I know she seldom use her phone and when I asked her about it she told me that she used the internet to communicate with her friends and rarely her phone. When I called their customer service and complained about it they can't offer any resolution. Class action suit should be taken against them, I worked hard to earn my money and they just rip me off.

instant messages charges
I am a Fido customer and was charge $ 52 for text messages on my cell phone bill; and, that is for one month only, I imagine another one will come next month. I was charged from third party so Fido say they can't do anything - they called the Mobile Messenger company with me and I did make a written request to the company for reimbursement of the fees - send by fax. I received a call and was told the charges would NOT be cancelled. And, Fido does not want to do anything to erase the charges. There is no options on your phone to delete the messsages as they come in, cancel them or report as sman - like for emails;

I have made a complaint to the CRTC and will cancel my FIDO plan if I do not receive service. This is a scam from the american company. And, Fido by not offering options on the phone is complacent. They do know what to do in case this happens as I was told the first time I called Fido. As customers, we do not know what to do - and the number of the Mobile messenger company only appears when you Fido bill which is too late by that time.

long distance
In the last couple of years I have travelled 3 times to the US. My cell phone did not work in the key cities where I was, said no service. When I came back, I called Fido and to find out what was wrong with my phone. They checked and said nothing was wrong. Second time, before I travelled, I checked with them again and said it was fine. Same thing, did not work again. Last X'mas I travelled again and checked before I left. Was assured it was fine. I sent an e-mail for what happened and did not get any response. Talked to someone on the phone, and they can't figure out what the problem. Wanted to escalate the problem to the upper management and you can't seem to get their contact addresses. The names are in their website but no contact info. Wanted to switch provider but i'm still on contract.

Charging for a Cancelled phone
For anyone who is interested in suing FIDO-Rogers for their poor quality products, poor quality customer service and trying to SCAM people out of money that isn't owed them in the first place, I have the following suggestions:
1. Google "Complaints against Fido" and post messages on EVERY SINGLE WEBSITEyou find !
2. File a formal letter of complaint with the CRTC. Their contact information is at the front of your phone book.
3. File a formal complaint within your own province, with the BBB (Better Business Bureau). The BBB will - FORCE THEM - to refund - ALL - of your money that they have STOLEN from you: <http://www.bbb.org/canada>
4. File a formal complaint against them with Office of Consumer Affairs, in Ottawa. Here's the web page for their contact info.
<http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ic1.nsf/eng/h_00014.html>
5. "File" your complaint on Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, MySpace, etc. etc.
6. a) Spend at least some time each week, contacting friends and family across Canada and give this information about filing formal, legal complaints.
b) Once we have all done this for just a few months, we would flood provincial and federal governments with so many complaints, they would HAVE TO take action against these SOB's !
7. Once we have several hundred FIDO victims in contact with one another, we can then file a class action suite against them with the Merchant Law Group at:
<http://www.merchantlaw.com/contactus>
8. Contact Wikileaks and see if they can help us dig up some dirt on these corporate vultures ! E-mail: <[email protected]>
