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. To make sure you don’t run out, you may want to change your plan, buy an Add-On or add money to your Wallet to Pay as You Go. Gray: Your plan is paused. Plans can be paused for several reasons: You ran out of data or minutes: Buy an Add-On or Add funds to your Wallet You are behind on a payment: Pay any outstanding balances on your account You paused the plan yourself (lost or stolen): Reopen your plan Your account been impacted by fraudulent activity: Contact the Fizz fraud team What to do if your plan is running out of data or minutes Buy an Add-On An Add-On is additional usage — it could be data, minutes & text or minutes for international calls — that you can use right away. You may want to buy an Add-On if you’re running low on monthly data, or if you want to add a feature that’s not part of your monthly plan. It will expire at the end of the following payment cycle.

Important to know if your plan doesn’t include mobile data If your plan includes no mobile data at all, you cannot receive data from another member. For example, if your plan includes only calls and texts, without data, you won’t be able to use a data gift sent by a friend. If you have unused data in your account, you can gift it to any member who is findable in the Fizz community (in other words, anyone who is not in Incognito mode), and whose plan includes data. You can choose to randomly gift data any time. Or, you can wait until it’s almost the end of your payment cycle and gift data before it rolls over. Learn about Rollovers If you want to gift unused data at the end of your payment cycle, you can gift it right before your current payment cycle ends. Once this cycle is over, however, the data will roll over — it will no longer be available to send as a gift. You cannot take back or unsend a data gift. Once you click Send, your gifted data is permanently removed from your plan. How do I gift data to another Member? To send a gift: Go to My Plans in your Fizz account. Scroll to the plan (if you have more than one in your account) that you want to gift from. Click Gift. On the next screen, choose Start gifting. Choose a contact or search for a new Fizz member who you want to gift to. This will open the gifting tool. * Select the amount of data you wish to gift and click Next. Customize a message to the recipient and click Send. * If you select an email or referral code from your contact list, data will be given to

With Fizz, you pay for your plan each month via automatic pre-authorized payments planned 72 hours before the start of your billing cycle. Example. Your payment cycle ends on the 5th of every month. The automatic payment of your plan therefore takes place on the 3rd of the month, and your new cycle starts on the 6th. If a payment fails, you’ll receive automatic reminders that will tell you what you need to do along with the deadline that applies, to pay for your plan yourself to avoid it from being suspended or even cancelled. Please note that Fizz is a prepaid service, and the payment date is fixed and cannot be changed. Additionally, no payment arrangements can be made. Please also note that the total amount of your bill must be paid in a single transaction — it cannot be split between multiple credit cards. My credit card is expired. You must update your payment method at least 72 hours before the end of your payment cycle to make sure your account is updated in time for your next payment. Before removing the card currently associated with your account, you’ll need to add a new one first. My Settings > Payment Methods > Add a new payment method Once your payment method has been updated in your Fizz account, you must associate it to each plan you want to pay with that card. That is not done automatically. My Plans > Manage Plan > Payment Method My monthly payment failed. An email and a text will be sent to you to notify you of the payment failure. From that moment, you have until the end of your current payment cycle, so 72 hours from the time the payment attempt failed, to proceed with the payment of your plan to
