^^^Now stick a foreign SIM and enter the unlock code and you got it for free lol.
The only way I got my unlock code to work was sticking in another SIM.

Yup, you're correct.
Btw, I'm on Fido and I can't active LTE on my S3, do I need to get a LTE sim card from Fido?

The wireless wave at Oakridge doesnt have fido lte sims yet either.
Just a tip, if you can log into fido.ca to check your account, theres a link there to change your sim card too. if you call customer service, or do it at the fido booth, they charge you money. its free to do it yourself online.

I heard that Fido only has LTE sim in Standard or Nano. They don't carry any LTE phones that use the microsim. Since they don't have an S3 in their product line it wouldn't make sense to have an LTE microsim. Either trim an standard sim to micro or get a nano to micro adapter.

This was before the ip5 came out, so I guess now they have nano too.

yeah I went to that Oakridge kiosk and the girl there told me they don't have lte Sims at all.
I called in and they said they can send one to me but I would need to cut it down to a micro

Thanks guys, I'm going to order the LTE card from Fido.ca if I can't find one local and I assume cutting the sim isn't that hard? I remember doing it back in the days for the original iPhone.

I think some cellphone shops may have micro sim stamper/cutter.

You should also keep the part you cut off in case you want to use a phone that uses a regular sim.
You just have to shave off the inner edges of the cut off plastic so the micro sim fits easily inside.
