Fido Activate SIM : How do I activate my Fido SIM card?

To activate your new Fido SIM card, Sign in to your Fido My Account on fido.ca. Select the phone number for which you’re activating the SIM card. Enter the 20-digit old SIM card number starting with 89302 and then the 20-digit new SIM card number starting with 89302. 

If you bought your phone from a Fido store or kiosk, you should get a new SIM card that’s already activated to put in your new phone. If the new SIM card was not activated, please follow the Activate SIM card steps below.

Note: Your contacts are normally saved on your actual phone and not on your SIM card. You’ll need to back up your old phone with your contacts in order to begin setting them up on your new phone. We don’t recommend that you set up your new phone until you have an active SIM card in it as you may have to set up your new phone all over again.

Buying online

If you bought your phone on Fido.ca, you’ll receive a new SIM card with your new device. You can activate your new SIM card by following the Activate SIM card steps below.

You‘ll need both your old AND new SIM card numbers. If you don’t have both, please visit a Fido store or kiosk with 2 valid pieces of identification. (a government issued ID and a photo ID)

  1. Turn off your phone(s).
  2. Put the new SIM card in the device of your choice. Note: SIM cards can be broken down to the proper size for your phone.
  3. If you’re not sure how to put the SIM card into your phone, check out our helpful Device Tutorials. Select the phone that you need help with under the Manufacturer category and then select your device.
  4. Sign in to your Fido My Account on fido.ca.
  5. Select the phone number for which you’re activating the SIM card. (Note: A SIM card that came with a device upgrade can only be used for that device’s phone number)
  6. Go to the Quick Links section and select Change my SIM card. Note: If you’re on fido.ca on a mobile device, tap the arrow beside the number that you’d like to activate in order to see Quick Links.
  7. Enter the 20-digit old SIM card number starting with 89302 and then the 20-digit new SIM card number starting with 89302. (Please do not enter any spaces)
  8. Select Continue.
  9. Select Submit.
  10. Turn on your phone with the new SIM card. You’ll see signal bars to indicate that the SIM is activated successfully.
