The withdrawal of the 3G network will start July 31, 2025, for Fizz and several of its partners.

Mobile members who are not VoLTE-compatible, due to their SIM or their phone, will eventually experience service degradation until they can no longer make or receive calls, including to 9-1-1. To maintain the quality of your mobile service, check your VoLTE compatibility as soon as possible: Use a VoLTE-compatible SIM card or an eSIM (if your phone allows it). Use a phone that is VoLTE-compatible at Fizz. Activate the VoLTE function on your phone. IMPORTANT: If any of these criteria is not met, none of your c alls (including 911 calls) will go through once the 3G network has been completely removed To learn more about the withdrawal of the 3G network in Canada, visit the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) website, and the Canadian Telecommunications Association website. What is VoLTE? VoLTE stands for Voice over LTE, which basically means a phone call will use the LTE-4G network.
