The eSIM is only offered for the activation of a new mobile plan. The following features will be offered shortly (but are not for now): Changing a physical SIM associated with an existing Fizz mobile plan for an eSIM. Changing the eSIM associated with an existing Fizz mobile plan for another eSIM. Transfer an eSIM from one phone to another. A SIM is what identifies you and connects your phone (whether you buy one on fizz.ca or bring your own) to the Fizz mobile network. An eSIM is basically a virtual SIM card. Important: don’t delete your eSIM. Never delete an active or about to be activated eSIM, including the one from your previous provider if you are transferring your number to Fizz. If you get an error message after your eSIM is installed in your phone: The reason -> your phone is trying to connect to the Fizz network, but the transfer of your number hasn’t started. What you need to do -> go in your account under My plans > Manage my plan > Install my eSIM and click on the button to launch the transfer. Important -> Do NOT delete your eSIM. Why? The QR code that allowed you to install it is one-time use. If you delete your eSIM, you’ll be blocked and so will we. Good to know: To use an eSIM, your phone must be compatible. Check my phone If it isn’t, you can still get a physical SIM card online, or from one of our partner stores. Where to get an eSIM Ordering and activating an eSIM is done at the same time, directly at Fizz.ca. You need a compatible phone and Internet access. If it’s not already done, create your Fizz account and from the Overview page, add a mobile plan. After
Which mobile plan am I allowed? The beauty of buying a phone with Fizz is that there are no restrictions on your Fizz mobile plan : You create the mobile plan you want, whether it’s big or small, to go with the phone you choose. You can change your plan as many times as you like. You are not stuck, and only pay for what you need each month. Did you know you can get a discount on your mobile plan for 24 months? As you shop for a phone, new or Preloved, look for the phones identified with a purple stamp to get a discount for your plan for 24 months. If you have lots of unused data on a given month for instance, that data will roll over to the following month. So you may choose to reduce the amount of data included in your plan (and therefore pay less for that month) to benefit from that rolled over data. New and Preloved phones Fizz offers a wide selection of phones to choose from, whether brand-new or Preloved. A new phone is, well, brand-new, and comes with the manufacturer’s warranty . Look up warranty details. A Preloved phone is not brand-new, but it’s a great alternative if you’re looking for a great phone but don’t want to pay full price. Preloved phones come with a warranty of 6 months. Look up warranty details. There are two (2) categories of Preloved phones: Perfect Almost perfect A Perfect phone was slightly used. You might see some negligible traces of wear if you look closely. An Almost perfect phone was previously used, but is in very good condition. You may see a few marks and in some cases, minor scratches or traces of light wear. Consult the cosmetic criteria of each
Make sure you are in a zone that has adequate coverage. See our network coverage map If you are outside the Fizz network, you can connect via our partner network. Learn about accessing our partner network 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 signal is weak, your phone may be connected to an antenna that is not in an optimal location for you to access the network. Reboot (power cycle) your phone by holding down the phone’s start button for 10 seconds. Following your reboot, your applications will load. Your phone will then re-authenticate to the Fizz mobile network and potentially recover its authorization to access the network. Do tests Test your connection by visiting different websites, using another web browser and/or another application. The website you are visiting, or the browser/app you were using when your WiFi became slow may be the source of the problem. If the slow speed is limited to a single browser or application, try to completely uninstall it from your device. If the situation continues unchanged after you reinstall the browser or app, consult customer assistance for the product in question Conduct speed tests Conduct a speed test using the website or application of your choice. IMPORTANT: Make sure you

An unlocked phone is one that is not linked to any specific cellular network. For example, when you buy your phone from a mobile provider, you will only be able to use it with that carrier until you unlock it. Legislation now allows all Canadians to unlock their phones, regardless of the original carrier. Unlocking your phone means you are able to use it with any carrier, provided that your phone is compatible with its network and bands. If you bought your phone from a Canadian provider after December 1, 2017, it is unlocked by default. When your phone is unlocked, you can insert a SIM card from any mobile provider to use your phone on their network. How can I see if my phone is locked Insert your Fizz SIM card (activated or not activated) into your phone. When your card is inserted: Your phone is unlocked if it connects to the network or asks you for a PIN code to unlock the SIM card. Your phone is locked if it asks you for a SIM unlock code.
