How do payment cycles work?
For your mobile service:
The date on which you activate your SIM card is the anniversary date for your mobile plan, and this date marks the start of your payment cycle each month.
For your Home Internet service:
The date on which you receive your Fizz Wi-Fi modem is the anniversary date for your Home Internet plan, and this date marks the start of your payment cycle each month.
How many days lasts a payment cycle?
Payment cycles are monthly, but their duration varies based on the number of days in each month. What’s important to remember is the anniversary date of your plan.
For example, if you activated your SIM card or received your Wi-Fi modem on April 5, the anniversary date for your plan is the 5th, and your next payment cycle will start on May 5, and then June 5, and so on. If your plan is activated on the 31st of a month, it is important to note that your payment cycles will start on the last day of each month, whether it’s the 30, 31 (or even 28 in the case of the month of February).
Do I lose any days in my plan if it gets suspended?
That depends.
- If you lose your phone, Fizz will block your SIM card so you avoid fraudulent activity, but your plan will remain active. You may therefore want to find yourself another phone as soon as possible, and activate it with your plan.
- If your plan is suspended by Fizz, whether for purposes of analysis following inappropriate use or following non-payment, your payment cycle will simply shift. For example, say the plan of a member is suspended following a missed payment, and Fizz ends up receiving the said payment 5 days later. The payment cycle of this member will simply be shifted by 5 days. He’ll enjoy his plan for a month, and the new anniversary date of his plan will become the day Fizz received that payment.
When is the payment for my next payment cycle taken?
Your plan is renewed 72 hours before the start of your new payment cycle.
Example. Your payment cycle ends on the 5th of every month. The automatic payment of your plan therefore takes place on the 3rd of the month, and your new cycle starts on the 6th.
IMPORTANT
When you enter the information for your payment method, the billing address associated to your card must correspond to the address you declared to your bank for that card. The right info must be entered in the corresponding fields, and the address needs to be 100% identical. Pay attention to the following items:
- The name of the street (Ave, avenue)
- Special works (Saint, St, Ste)
- Hyphens
- Spaces
- Spelling
Tip: Make a copy and paste of what is written in your bank account.
If the address and postal code that you associate to your payment method are not identical to that declared to your bank, you won’t be able to add this payment method.
