Wifi calling and long distance

They charge long distance if you want to call a Canadian number, on wifi, from abroad.

can we receive calls via wifi abroad? Guessing no, for no reason. But it would be nice to be able to do that.

Doctors and clinic standards

Many of my friends got family doctors in the past two years, which is great. But they all have interesting stories about the clinics these doctors work at.

Disorganized, dirty, run down, overly crowded… phones ringing endlessly with no one picking up. Nurses angry and impatient.

Makes me wonder what is happening? Has there been a new law or reduced regulation? It seems like some doctors just sign up whoever comes in and go way beyond their capacity, bill the province and hope for the best.

Piano at Hartman’s

Remembered this today.

maybe I’m pessimistic. But it is huge to go from a free piano that people actually played, to gates and barriers. This is how the city, country, many other countries have been changing.

At least we have more billionaires 🥰

How is this not an emergency

Heavy smoke is becoming the norm in summer months.

I guess rich people can quickly move to better areas or something but how are we still building oil pipelines and forcing people to drive to work and not perfecting public transit? I won’t even mention the other problems like healthcare, housing and cost of living

I have a headache and my eyes are burning. It really feels like a lot of what we took for granted for years are finally crumbling And becomng luxuries. BUt are we going to do anything differently?

are politicians even aware of this? THE AIR IS POISON NOW ffs.

30days after the average processing time

A month late…still no answer. vacation plans ruined.

why are they trying to keep tourists away? Shouldn’t there be clear laws about refugees and illegal workers?

Ombudsman or exec support?

I am beyond frustrated with fizz/“support”.

I was charged for some incoming calls from the US. I was in my home area.

So I sent emails, ane a CCTS request and after the “investigation” they came back to say that I called the US so I was billed. The whole point of the request was that these were incoming calls.

It feels like I am talking to ChatGPT version 1 or something.

Any suggestions?

Three way calls are charged as outgoing calls

if you merge an incoming and outgoing call they are all charged as outgoing calls.

has anyone seen this before, with any operator?

so an incoming call from the US ends up emptying your wallet….

Bad month with fizz. Wallet/roaming

I got a 1gb data roaming perk and used it.

I have realized earlier today that they charged me for data usage on my last day.

I constantly checked my usage online and made sure that this add-on was active.

I think there may be a problem in their system where the add on looks active, but the charges go through because of the local time. I don’t know.

So hard to prove of course , if not impossible.

How to escalate/resolve technical issues?

Spent hours this week talking to support.

We got to the escalation step 4 times. There is no ticket online. People give me random troubleshooting steps or made up explanations or excuses.

No resolution.

Conference calls always count as outgoing calls?

I spent hours on chat with support.

They tell me that all calls in a three way call will be considered outgoing calls

If I am at home(my own calling area), and receive a call from the US, I cannot merge that with a Canadian call I’m already on.

I know for sure that I can receive calls from anywhere(overseas or USA) as long as I’m in my coverage area

this outgoing call thing makes no sense to me…can anyone confirm?

Conference calling error. iOS

calls fail after merging. error sent by text message with a dead videotron link.

it says my plan does not support this.
so disappointing…

anyone else?

Notice: your current plan does not allow you to complete this call. You may purchase an add-on if needed by visiting :  https://fizz.ca/s/15/en/10177075/

Biometric done. Expected time passed. No movement.

No movement for two months now. Expected time passed a week ago.

I emailed them through the Webform. Got an automated response.

My Annual vacation is set so I will most likely be unable to travel if they ever approve the visa.

I Know I am not alone and many are waiting for citizenship or work visas too…. Is there anything I can do?

It looks like there is not much accountability. Why do they not want tourists? I will spend money and get out in a few weeks.

Trying to understand the varying wait times.

Are there specialized officers working with each country?

Why do the wait times vary that much between different countries if all applications get processed in Canada?
