FAQ
How do payment cycles work?
Start date Please note that a payment cycle does not necessarily follow calendar months. For example, if you subscribe on June 6th, your payment cycle will be from June 6th to July 5th. 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: You received your Fizz Wi-Fi modem by mail? Its activation date marks the beginning of your payment cycle. Don’t forget, Fizz will activate it remotely three (3) days after its delivery date, but you can activate it yourself in your account if you’re ready before then. Your modem was delivered by a technician? If you had an installation appointment with a technician, your modem will be activated then, and the date of your appointment therefore marks the beginning of your payment cycle. For your TV service: The payment cycle for your TV plan will be the same as the one for your Home Internet plan. But because your TV plan is activated as soon as you subscribe, you may need to pay a prorated amount on that day to bridge the gap until the next payment cycle of your Home Internet plan . Say you subscribe to Fizz TV on December 14, but your next payment cycle for your Home Internet plan only starts on December 30. The prorated amount you will pay on December 14 will therefore correspond to those 16 days. Come your next full payment cycle, December 30 in our example, the payments for both those plans (internet and TV) will be combined, and the payment cycle for your TV plan will be synchronized to the payment cycle of your Home Internet plan. Duration Please note

How does the Phone discount on a plan work?
Selected phones at Fizz.ca are identified with a purple stamp showing a percentage discount on your plan. By purchasing one of these phones, this discount will be applied to your mobile plan every month for 24 months. The Phone discount in detail Let’s illustrate with an example. You buy a phone identified with a 24-month 15% discount for your plan. You pay for your phone as usual, paying it upfront or spreading its cost with Affirm. You pair your phone with your mobile plan regularly priced at say $20/month. Your plan comes out then to $17/month ($20 – 15% Phone discount) for 24 months. After the 24-month period, your Phone discount ends and your plan goes back to its regular price of $20/month. No commitment and no minimum plan. Your Phone discount applies to your mobile plan, regardless of its value. And as always with Fizz, there’s no long-term commitment. The Phone discount will be applied to your mobile plan for 24 months, but you can choose to shorten this period. Several plans, several Phone discounts.
