Which mobile plan am I allowed? The beauty of buying a phone with Fizz is that there are no restrictions on your Fizz mobile plan : You create the mobile plan you want, whether it’s big or small, to go with the phone you choose. You can change your plan as many times as you like. You are not stuck, and only pay for what you need each month. Did you know you can get a discount on your mobile plan for 24 months? As you shop for a phone, new or Preloved, look for the phones identified with a purple stamp to get a discount for your plan for 24 months. If you have lots of unused data on a given month for instance, that data will roll over to the following month. So you may choose to reduce the amount of data included in your plan (and therefore pay less for that month) to benefit from that rolled over data. New and Preloved phones Fizz offers a wide range of phones, new or refurbished, from smart models to flip phones. A new phone is, well, brand-new, and comes with the manufacturer’s warranty . Look up warranty details. A Preloved phone is not brand-new, but it’s a great alternative if you’re looking for a great phone but don’t want to pay full price. Preloved phones come with a warranty of 6 months. Look up warranty details. There are two (2) categories of Preloved phones: Perfect Almost perfect A Perfect phone was slightly used. You might see some negligible traces of wear if you look closely. An Almost perfect phone was previously used, but is in very good condition. You may see a few marks and in some cases, minor scratches or traces of light wear. Consult the cosmetic criteria

The more bars you see, the stronger your signal. However, you can still have excellent reception even without the maximum number of bars. The number of signal bars is just a simplified indicator—each phone manufacturer interprets this measurement a little differently. For example, one phone might display three bars at –90 dBm, while another would show four for the same signal The Wi-Fi icon (represented by several overlapping arcs) shows the strength of your wireless Internet connection. Each arc is simply a visual estimate of the wireless signal strength your device receives. Once again, how these arcs appear depends on the manufacturer and operating system. In short: even if your device doesn’t show all the “waves” of the Wi-Fi symbol, you can still enjoy a stable and fast connection. These arcs are a convenient visual cue, but not an absolute measure of performance. Troubleshooting Is the Wi-Fi function turned off? Make sure you have deactivated WiFi on your phone. If browsing the internet with your phone is slow and laborious, your phone may be trying to prioritize browsing over a WiFi network instead of using the Fizz mobile network.
