Hi All! I just want to say I received my Fairphone from my family member in England a few days ago and it’s working like a charm here in Ontario! The Open Source OS works great with the carrier Fido.

Hi Folks! Great to see that there is a Canadian community! Based on the discussion here I feel confident that I’ll get a Fairphone 2 (probably Open OS) for use here in Canada. I’m based in the GTA (Waterloo), so I will probably follow Jonnydark’s lead and go with Fido. I’ll probably import the ph…

Hi @aerler glad you’re joining the Canuck Fairphone movement! Importing is pretty simple… just have it shipped to your family members then have them ship it to you. I recommend a courier service where you can track where it’s at. Installing Open OS is really simple. Follow these instructions: Fair…

Thanks for the link. I kinda agree: the translucent cover makes it look very special! My concern about importing it is mainly with respect to customs… what was your experience?

Hi @aerler Oh it passed customs no problem! @Stefan oh no now I’m going to be worried. I’ll just have to cherish it more.

Did you declare the phone for customs or did you have it sent in an undeclared package? I had bad experience with customs before: I ordered a fancy keyboard from the US and had to pay lots of tariff on it… And Jonnydark, any issues with your translucent cover yet?

@aerler I can’t remember the specifics. I know I had to pay but I couldn’t tell you what anymore. And the clear cover has worked out great for me.

Hey @blutch ! Good to know that tehre are FP2 owners in Canada! I live in an area where Fido/Rogers doesn’t have coverage, Therefore, my FP1 has become useless since I moved here (Gaspésie). I wanted to buy a FP2 but would live to make sure that it would be working with Koodo or Virgin. Any advice (…
