The amount of data your phone uses may vary depending on how you use it, which native installations are running on it, and which applications you have installed. Some applications, native or not, can use your mobile data in the background. For example, cloud-based apps such as Google Drive or Apple iCloud could be using your data to automatically backup your photos, videos, and documents. Some streaming music or video services can also download content in the background. Fizz provides you with handy tools to keep you informed about your mobile data usage: A usage metre (visible when you first sign in to your account) tells you how fast you are consuming your minutes and your data, compared to the amount available in your plan. Notifications at 75%, 90% and 100% of your usage. Note: You must log into your account and activate notifications at 75% and 90% usage. If you do not, you will only receive a notification when you are at 100% of your usage. You can also check your mobile data usage directly via your phone. The steps to follow to check your data usage can vary depending on the type of phone you have. Here are two examples: Android: Settings → Connections → Data usage → Mobile data usage iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Cellular data usage Here are some examples of average usage: Type of service Bandwith Data Consumption YouTube UHD 4K: 6 to 10 Mbps 1080p: 4.5 Mbps 720p: 2.5 Mbps 480p: 2 Mbps UHD 4K: 2.7 to 4.5 GB/hour 1080p: 2 GB/hour 720p: 1.1 GB/hour 480p: 450 MB/hour Music streaming Audio quality: 320 Kbps Audio quality: 96 Kbps Audio quality 320 Kbps: 50 MB/hour Audio quality 96 Kbps: 44 MB/hour Video streaming (Other than YouTube) High video quality: 5 Mbps Medium video quality

Good-to-know info about Fizz mobile services. Because no one can know everything about something, we tried to group interesting details about our mobile services. You know, those little details that just seem hidden somewhere? Well, here you go! Coverage Consult the interactive map Even if you live within our coverage area, that doesn’t mean you can subscribe to Fizz mobile services. You must live within the subscription area. The coverage area you choose determines the expanse of the calls and texts included in your plan. If you choose the Canada coverage for instance, you can make or receive calls anywhere in the country. But with a Quebec coverage, a call made or receive from Vancouver for example would not be included in your plan, and you’d have to buy a Travel Add-on. If you chose unlimited calls when creating your plan, you can make or receive as many calls as you like when you are within your coverage area. Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico are included in the Canada + U.S. coverage area. Exception if you are new to Fizz: The name of the network indicated on your phone will not initially say Fizz.

Simply restart your phone 72 hours (that’s 3 days) following the activation of your SIM card, and all will be in order.

Make sure the power button doesn’t remain pressed If your phone’s power button remains pressed, it could shut down your phone, or be the reason it reboots in a loop. The issue could be caused by a protective case (or any other equipment of that nature) that applies pressure on the button without your knowledge. Charge your battery completely When the phone cannot store enough charge, it could reboot in a loop or shut down. Check that this is not an issue with a damaged electric cable. Test with another cable to make sure. You can also test the charge by removing the power supply block, and connecting the USB end (Type A) into a compatible device. Check that the cable works well by trying to charge another phone if you have one. Restore your phone to its factory settings IMPORTANT: Save all media, contacts, apps and text messages that are archived and want to keep before proceeding. Some of your phone’s parameters will need to be reconfigured after: mobile data blocking, NPA, Wi-Fi settings, Bluetooth function etc. The steps to follow to reset your network settings will vary depending on the type of phone. Here are two examples: Android: Applications → Settings → General management → Reset → Reset settings → Click on Reset settings iPhone: Settings → General → Reset → Erase all content and settings Check whether the issue is still there before configuring and personalizing your phone, or installing apps. Perhaps you’re due for a new phone? If your phone is a little outdated, refreshing it may be a more affordable solution than you think. We have phones, new or Preloved, to fit every budget.
