Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Fido / August 2004Microtac 650e
At great personal expense I am now the owner of a Motorola Microtac 650e. I am looking for a resource that will program the phone, including inserting my phone number into it. At present I have a FIDO GSM phone but of course Fido coverage is about .00234% of the land area of Canada so the GSM phone is pretty much useless. Someone at Fido customer service told me that if I got an old analog phone and then got it programmed with my phone number, then it would work as long as the phone was receiving a signal. Anyone know where I can find someone to do this, or find the tools to try this myself, at home. Alone. I'm located on Vancouver Island. Any help appreciated. Thanks. There is no work needed on your behalf, you call customer service, supply them with the inactive ESN number of your analog phone, and they take care of the rest. You will be charged 0.20$/min, billed every 30s. Just make sure your Fido phone is off when you turn on your brick phone. :) Enjoy > At great personal expense I am now the owner of a Motorola Microtac > 650e.

I'll see if I can find the programming for it and post the instructions here (or email them to you).

If the phone is a "e" model you can use the quick programming, 74663# <FCN><FCN> 10 digit phone number <STO> system id (call FIDO) <STO> Hope this helps, Dan > At great personal expense I am now the owner of a Motorola Microtac > 650e.

I might be able to get the system ID number from my GSM phone. I'll look there first before I beard Fido in his den. Again, thanks. C. You also have to make sure it is set up to receive the "B" network. Press <FNC> then press * until B is listed then press <STO> > If the phone is a "e" model you can use the quick programming, 74663# > <FCN><FCN> 10 digit phone number <STO> system id (call FIDO) <STO> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Any help appreciated. > > Thanks. Well, as it turned out I didn't have to do very much at all to get that phone activated. I called Fido cust. service and the guy that I talked to walked me though the whole (very short) procedure. They do have to have the phone serial number so that they can enter it, or so he said. In any case it's working fine now. So far- so good. And all for a cost of 11,00 at my local auction. thanks again, C. >You also have to make sure it is set up to receive the "B" network. > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >> > Any help appreciated. >> > Thanks. |
