In Canada on the Fido network:
Outside of the Fido network in Canada, in the U.S. or Internationally:
- You can make your downloads purchases anywhere in the world where there is a network supporting data usage.
- There is an additional data transmission cost for downloading content while traveling outside of the Fido network. See our data transmission rates while traveling.
Reasons why you can’t use MP3 files as ringtones:
- Any MP3 format file not purchased directly from Fido or through a legitimate website can’t be used as a ringtone.
- Ringtones are considered public performances. Purchasing a CD or a song for an MP3 player doesn’t give the buyer the right to use it for a public performance, which includes ringtones.
- Any MP3 file used as a ringtone must include digital rights management (DRM), meaning that it was purchased from a legitimate source.
