How to reserve a phone

Fido Reservation system

Fido Reservation System - This is a way for Fido customers to reserve a select wireless phone and have it shipped to a participating store of their choice.

The Fido Reservation System lets you reserve our latest phones online. Forget having to check different stores to see if they have the phone you want in store, because Fido can have the phone you want waiting for you at the Fido store of your choice.

In the past we have seen many long awaited phones available on the Fido Reservation System for customers to reserve. Therefore, if there's a new phone you want, make sure you check to see if it's on the Fido Reservation System to get it into your hands easier.

No devices currently available for reservation

Things to Know

  • Only existing Fido customers can reserve a phone through My Account
  • To reserve a phone and secure a place in line, your account must be in good standing.
  • For each Fido number, there is a limit of one phone per phone family.
  • Your reservation does not guarantee you will receive a phone as soon as it launches.
  • A fully refundable reservation fee of $40 plus taxes will be applied to your account for each reservation.
  • We will send you regular emails with a status on your place in line and shipment details.
  • After you receive a confirmation phone call that the phone has arrived, please visit the store for purchasing options. Your reservation fee will be credited back to your account upon shipment of the phone to the store.

How to reserve?

It's simple and easy to reserve:

  • Sign in to My Account My Account
  • Click on the "Phone Reservation" button in the "Your phone" section.
  • Then complete your reservations by selecting your phone and pick-up location, and proceed with the prompts
  • A confirmation email will be sent to you upon completion of your online reservation
  • You'll also receive a weekly email with your place in line to give you an idea of when your phone might ship

Another email will be sent to you when your phone is being shipped to the Fido store you have selected and in approximately 4 days, it will be ready for you to pick it up!

How much will the reserved device cost?

When picking up the reservation in store, you have several options for purchasing your new device. As an existing customer and as part of our upgrade program, the standard hardware upgrade eligibility rules and fees apply. Please speak to a Fido representative in store when picking up the reserved device for your specific upgrade pricing.

If you do not wish to commit to a new Fido Agreement, you are able to purchase the device at a no term price and, if you have FidoDOLLARS, you can use them to reduce the cost of the device. Note that regular upgrade fees still apply.

Additionally, if you are reserving the device to activate a new phone number for a friend or family member, new activation pricing is applicable; see the prices for our different phone & devices.

By reserving a phone using the Fido Reservation System, will I get my phone before everyone else?

Reserving a phone through the Fido Reservation does not guarantee you a phone at launch. We will be dedicating inventory towards our Reservation System orders and our goal is to get your phone to you as soon as possible. However, we will also be shipping phones to stores that are not participating in the Reservation System program. For information on shipment timelines, please refer to the confirmation email you received when you reserved your phone.

How will I know how long it will be for my phone to be shipped?

The Fido Reservation System is designed for self-service. We'll send you weekly email updates with a status on your phone shipment. This information can also be accessed when you sign into your account on My Account.

Do I have to wait until my place in line is 0 before my device ships?

Your place in line for the phone you reserved does not have to be 0 for it to ship, as we receive varying amounts of inventory from our vendor partners with each shipment. For example, if you are currently number 1,000 in line for the phone you selected, and we receive 1,500 units from our vendor partner, your order will get shipped out with those 1,500.

Can I reserve a phone by calling Fido or visiting a store?

No, phone reservations can only be made online through the Fido Reservation System, which is designed for self-service.

Will my $40 reservation fee be returned to me?

The $40 reservation fee (+ taxes) is used to secure your order and place in line. We will credit the $40 (+ taxes) back to your Fido account
1) when your phone ships from our warehouse or
2) when you cancel your reservation online.

We will send you an email notification when your phone ships including the courier company tracking number that will be used to ship the phone to the store.

What happens if I find a phone in another store before my phone is shipped?

Since phones will also be shipped to Fido stores not participating in the reservation program, this may be possible. Simply sign into your account online on My Account and cancel your reservation. You will receive an email confirmation of your cancellation and your $40 reservation fee will be reversed automatically.

What if I change my mind and want to reserve a different phone?

Our reservation program allows you to change your mind at any time, as long as your reservation is in open status. Simply cancel your first reservation and create another. The $40 (+ taxes) fee for your reservation will be credited back to your Fido account. Once you've reserved a different phone, the reservation fee for that phone will be charged to your account.

Can I change my pick-up location?

Yes, you can change your pick-up location at any time before your order is being prepared to ship by our warehouse. To do this, sign into your account on My Account and change your store preference.
Once your order status is “in progress,” or “shipped” your order is on its way to the store you chose and the location cannot be changed.

Does the account holder have to pick up the phone or can someone else do it?

Only the account holder can pick up the phone. The account holder will be required to provide photo identification before they can pick up the phone.

How long does it take to ship my phone?

Once the phone is in inventory, it could take up to 4 days to ship to the store you chose.

How long will the store hold the phone for me?

The store will hold your phone for up to 7 days from the time the phone ships. A store representative will call you when your phone is ready for pick up. If you cannot make it to the store within this time frame, please call the store to make alternate arrangements. Alternate arrangements are at the store's discretion.

What does a phone family mean?

Phones are grouped by model, memory and colour. For example, you can reserve an iPhone and a BlackBerry but cannot reserve three iPhones of different colours and sizes.

Why can I only order one of each?

To give as many customers as possible the fairest opportunity to get the phone of their choice, we are limiting reservations to one order per phone type.

What do the various “statuses” mean on my reservation?

If your status is “open”, your reservation has been made and we are awaiting product from our supplier. At this time you can change your pick-up location, contact email address or cancel your reservation.

If your status is “in progress”, we have begun the shipment process and you will not be able to edit or cancel your reservation any longer. The next email you will get will be the one that confirms shipment to the store you chose.

If your status is “shipped”, your phone has left our warehouse and is on its way to the store you chose.

If your status is “cancelled”, your reservation has been cancelled and your reservation fee will be credited back to your account.

Why am I getting multiple emails confirming the same information?

We have designed our reservation system to send notification emails to both the account holder (based on your account number) as well as the end user (based on your wireless phone number). If you would like to stop these multiple emails, please go to your reservation online and edit your email contact preferences.

I am getting an error message when accessing the Fido Reservation System?

Clear your cookies and cache from your internet browser, this might resolve the issue. If issue persists, try from a different browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc.)

I have a symbol in my name (apostrophe for example) and I get an error message when trying to reserve. What can I do?

By removing the symbol in address field it will solve the issue.

I have IE9, will the reservation work?

Sorry, but IE9 is not supported by our system; please use another browser such as Firefox or Chrome.
