Microcell Telecommunications is a Canadian wireless PCS telecommunications service provider. Microcell was the first carrier in Canada to launch a GSM-based network and Fido was the first wireless service provider in North America to offer General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) on its network. Fido has a data roaming agreement in the United States with T-Mobile USA, Inc. in over 6,000 cities. Voice roaming covers over 150 countries. Microcell's GSM/GRPS network operates at the 1900 MHz frequency.


Microcell was bought out by the other competing GSM carrier, Rogers Wireless, in November 2004, for an estimated 1.4 billion dollars.

Later the same year TELUS acquired Clearnet Communications Inc., a digital mobile telephone provider based in Toronto, Ontario, which it combined with TELUS Mobility to form a wireless telecommunications service provider with national scope.
In May 2004, TELUS, via its TELUS Mobility division, made a $1.1-billion bid for Microcell Telecommunications (holders of the Fido brand name), seeking further expansion in the fast-growing wireless communications sector but was eventually outbid by Rogers Communications.
