Reading your Usage Meter When you log into your account, the first thing you will see is a Usage Meter, which tells you how quickly you are using up the data left in your plan. If the metre is: Green: You’re in great shape and will likely make it through your payment cycle without needing an Add-On, plan change or Pay as you Go. Yellow: You’re going through data or minutes more quickly than expected. Use data or minutes more carefully until the end of your cycle or you may run out. Red: You’re in danger of running out of data or minutes before your payment cycle ends.

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. By disabling WiFi on your phone, you will force it to use only mobile data; this may enable apps and web pages to load faster. If you are experiencing a slow WiFi network, see the following troubleshooting tip: My WiFi connection is slow. How can I speed it up? Restart your phone If the network

Nobody likes losing something they’ve paid for. Which is exactly why we roll over your unused data at the end of each month. There’s nothing you need to do — your unused data is automatically rolled over to the next month at the end of each payment cycle. Rolled over data lasts for the two following payment cycles, even if you change your plan. It’s always used before your monthly data. So if you have rolled over data, you’ll use it up first and then move onto the data in your regular plan Please note that minutes are not transferable. Can I gift my unused data instead of having it roll over? Yes. You can gift any unused data when you’re near the end of your payment cycle. You can only gift data from your current payment cycle, and it must be gifted before your payment cycle ends (before your data rolls over). Learn about gifting data When to expect a Rollover When does my unused data roll over? Your unused data will roll over at the end of each payment cycle. To see when your payment cycle ends: Go to My Plans in your Fizz account. Under each plan (if you have more than one), you will be able to see how much time is left in your current payment cycle.

What is a 5G mobile network? 5G is the fifth generation of wireless connectivity. It can transmit data up to 4 times faster than 4G LTE. It also allows a huge number of devices, i.e. up to one million per square kilometre, to work together at the same time. Latency (the delay between sending and receiving data) is greatly reduced, which makes everything feel faster and more responsive. At Fizz, 5G is safe. It mainly uses the same frequencies as 4G LTE and complies with all Health Canada and ISED standards, with no difference when it comes to data protection and privacy. The 5G network is used for data only; voice calls still use the 4G LTE network. Depending on your phone model, the 5G icon may still appear during a call. For now, Voice over 5G is not available with Fizz. How can I access 5G? To use 5G, you need three things: Be in a covered area Our 5G network is expanding and currently serves the main urban areas. Check our coverage map to see where 5G is available. Have a compatible device Take a look at the Phone characterisctics section on our site to see if your phone is 5G-compatible. For more details, refer to the technical specifications provided by your phone’s manufacturer. On a compatible phone, 5G usually turns on automatically. If it doesn’t, check your phone’s network settings and, if needed, refer to the manufacturer’s website for instructions. Please note that 5G service cannot be guaranteed on devices that were not purchased from Fizz. Have a plan that includes 5G Make sure you've selected a plan that includes 5G. For an already active line whose plan doesn’t include 5G, you’ll need to change to a 5G‑enabled plan. If needed, restart your device after changing your
