I'm in Ottawa, and I have the Mitsubishi G310.  I'm getting a lot of
"Call Failed" messages. A search showed that back in 2001, people
blamed the phone. But, they're rather predictable, usually around 5:00
pm.  I also lose incoming calls: phone rings, caller id is displayed,

I see that the cityfido for $45 includes the system "fee" of $6.95.
Currently am on the 400/$400 plus the $6.95.
Is there any reason not to switch from a 400 minute account to an unlimited
account for virtually the same monthly charge?

After debating on the switch to another service provider and new phone
because Fido absolutely sucks in my northeast Toronto apartment suite, I
decided to call up Fido to see what they had to say.
The rep was really nice and offered me a Nokia 6340 dualband free of charge.

Yup, that's right. Say goodbye to CityFido, per second billing and
cheap US roaming rates. Maybe your GSM phone too.
