Partner networks: How does expanded coverage work in Canada?
New to Fizz? The name of the network indicated on your phone will not initially say Fizz. Instead, you will see Fizz EXT. We are aware of this situation and are working to address it. Rest assured, your phone is not roaming, and you will not incur any charges. Simply restart your phone 72 hours (that’s 3 days) following the activation of your SIM card, and all will be in order. Access a partner network on mobile The expanded coverage zone is for our mobile clients who travel in specific regions not covered by the Fizz network. It is intended for occasional coverage, and applies to both Quebec and Canada. The majority of your usage (calls, texts and data) must be done on the Fizz network. We reserve the right to interrupt or block access to our network of partner providers if you use your mobile service primarily on their networks for 3 consecutive payment periods . Use our coverage map to check that you are using your phone in a zone covered by the Fizz network. Visit our network coverage map Recognize a partner network Our phones are programmed to prioritize the Fizz network. When your phone is outside the Fizz network, it will automatically connect to an available partner network. When you’re connected to a partner network, its name will be displayed on your phone as Fizz EXT. It is important to check the name of the network indicated on your phone. If it does not say Fizz, you are on one of our partner networks and your usage will be considered extended coverage. You can adjust your phone’s settings to limit this usage by deactivating roaming on our partner networks. Good to know: The Quebec coverage area also includes the Ottawa region.
