I didn't change any setting. Using an iphone, it just happened like 10mins ago.

Internet would work fine for a short time then stoppeš. Cannot dial out or receive calls.

I'm using work phone at the moment. Not on Fido

Go to a store and change the SIM see if it works.

My Bell iPhone 3gs is the same story. It was perfect for a year then starts dropping signal in the middle of the call. And then it began to always drop signal everytime I make a call. And then occasionally there's NO SIM. And then there's always NO SIM. And the next thing you know, even your wifi stop working.

Changing the SIM worked for me. Give it a try, otherwise you may have to call Apple.

I experienced problems with fido network yesterday too. An employer called about a job interview and the call dropped. I called back a few times and call didnt go through until 10 mins later. I turned phone off and back on and things went back to normal again. A friend told me that they had similar problems too when they had fido/rogers and that it seems to happen more often when its raining.

ANyone else still having issues with ROgers or Fido?

Mines gone down randomly throughout the whole day.

Says full reception and 3G, but nothing working. Not even the phone. And 3 times today cuts out completely for 5mins or so with zero reception and "SOS" in the corner.
