Fido and Google SMS
On 16, Feb 2007 | One Comment | In Telecom, Toronto | By Ryan Feeley
I just received my first mobile phone bill from Fido after a month of using Google Calendar and SMS. It wasn’t free. 
I do not have an SMS package, but was told I would be receiving unlimited text messages free of charge. Unfortunately contrary to what Google says Fido categorizes their alerts as premium messages at 15¢ each. Oddly, outgoing messages to Google SMS were not charged.
Not a big deal for the odd Google SMS request, but when I have a day booked full of activities, the calendar alerts can really add up.
I called Fido and have upgraded my plan to include a $3/month SMS package and have been told I will no longer be charged for incoming messages.
