Hi there, I just got a Telus Blackberry 9700 unlocked. I am currently running it on a Fido network. I just noticed that there is a red triangle next to my network name (Fido) which I have been told to mean roaming. Also, I can't use my data unless I have roaming turned on.
Why is this happening? Is it because of a Telus blackberry on a Fido network? I'm worried about roaming charges.
thank you
