Hi @aerler
Oh it passed customs no problem!
@Stefan oh no now Iâm going to be worried. Iâll 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 itâŚ
And Jonnydark, any issues with your translucent cover yet?
@aerler I canât remember the specifics. I know I had to pay but I couldnât 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 doesnât have coverage, Therefore, my FP1 has become useless since I moved here (GaspĂŠsie). I wanted to buy a FP2 but would live to make sure that it would be working with Koodo or Virgin. Any advice (you or anyone!)?
Also can I call Koodo/Virgin tech employees to know if it would work? Can they garantee it?
Thanks for your help!
Catherine
It might not give you an instant answer, but will certainly get you closer to it:
You will probably need to find out about your potential providerâs band as well to find the definitive answer
Thanks for the links! Most of the providers I asked to were not able to tell me this information and were just asking me to try to put a SIM in it⌠The thing is I want to be sure before ordering the phone! ^^
@CathCw Sure it Will work on koodoo, used my FP2 with then flawlessly for almost a year before moving with Rogers. You wonât have LTE though but wonât notice any difference using FP2
@aerler I asked my family member to open the phone, remove all plastics that make it new and send it in another box. Custom declaration: âforgotten phoneâ. Canât have any issue with that.
Living in Montreal, having my FP2 since almost a year now. Was part of the very first preorderer. I used it on Koodoo without 4G/LTE as it should be the case with all others providers. Lately moved to Rogers thanks to an awesome company package deal and discovered that Rogers has a LTE backup frequency which is in European range. I am now in LTE
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

@petey, please read a topic to the end and then post once in reply to any posts you want to refer to. You can either quote someone elseâs post (mark text with cursor and press âquote replyâ) or refer to someone using @user.
Oops sorry, not regular enough on that forum, I realized too late that something wasnât going as expected Thanks for the tips
Interesting idea! Does it come with an instruction manual or anything like that? You wont send this with your âforgottenâ phone, right? But I guess you could send this separately as a letterâŚ
Look at this unboxing video. Thatâs the packaging of your FP2 (with âregularâ case). There is actually a little âinstruction manualâ included as this is legally required. But you donât really need it, the usage is obvious. If you really want to see the âinstruction manualâ, you can download a PDF here.
Hi
is there a place I can order and have ship to Montreal, Quebec, Canada?
Thank you!
Fairphone doesnât ship to outside Europe. Youâll have to use one of the methods talked about above.
Sadly I doesnât know anybody who live in Europe.
There are a couple of mail services that forward mail, which could be an option.
For example like this one:
Alternatively, go to our marketplace and ask the sellers there if they are willing to ship to Canada.
Hi @Jonnydark, Iâm really interested in the âCanuck Fairphoneâ movement, as you call it. Iâd seen that Fairphone doesnât ship to North America. Iâm a journalist based in Toronto and would love to talk and perhaps arrange an interview or meeting. Are you based in Toronto? Thanks and hope to speak with you soon.
