Encyclopedia : F : FI : FID : Fido Solutions
Fido Solutions, formerly known as Microcell Telecommunications is a Canadian wireless Personal Communications Service telecommunications service provider. Fido was the first carrier in Canada to launch a GSM-based network and the first wireless service provider in North America to offer General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) on its network. Fido has a data roaming agreement in the United States with T-Mobile USA, Inc. in over 6,000 cities. Voice roaming covers over 150 countries. Fido Solutions uses Rogers Wireless' GSM Network, which operates on GSM 850/1900. Microcell Telecommunications was bought out by the other competing GSM carrier, Rogers Wireless, in November 2004, for an estimated 1.4 billion dollars. The company's name was changed to Fido Solutions shortly after.
