Fido offering combines GSM and VoIP
May 13, 2008
Fido has announced the launch of UNO, a new service that connects calls from a specially-enabled handset to a high-speed Internet connection when users are at home, as well as through the Fido wireless network when they are on the go. Customers use the same handset inside and outside the home, which offers the convenience of having one phone number, one voicemail, one address book and one bill. Customers can also talk as much as they want on their Fido phone while at home without using up their wireless plan minutes. A Fido voice-optimizing wireless router, which can be connected to an existing Internet connection, enhances wireless call clarity and reception inside the home network. Fido UNO is available on the Nokia 6301 handset, which retails for $50 on a three-year plan. Service plans are priced at $15/month (unlimited local calling) or $20/month (unlimited local and Canadian long distance) for wireless calling at home, in addition to the regular wireless voice plan. Existing customers can add the service to a current voice plan with the purchase of a UNO-enabled handset and receive the voice-optimizing wireless router free of charge.
