Did you even set up the internet settings on the phone? If so, provide details. Your post is far too vague.

I basically did this on the sticky thread.

Fido Internet Settings

Fido WAP
APN: internet.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
Proxy IP: 205.151.11.11 Port 8080

Fido MMS
APN: mms.fido.ca
Username: Fido
Password: Fido
Gateway Address: 205.151.11.13
MMS URL: mms.fido.ca


everything else is on default settings

I don't know the interface of your phone but if you go into settings and then application settings, browser settings, did you ensure it's using the correct APN ID? Samsung is a little tricky that way.

changed the browser setting to MMS instead of WAP. APN is correct internet.fido.ca . at least this time google loaded and i did a search and it worked. but all the other sites dont work, and also my widgets.
