So my wife and I finally made the jump to Fizz too. Our kids have actually been on Fizz since they got their first phones, that's gotta be 6+ years now. They started with just 2GB plans and now they're at 25GB for $25 CAD, so no complaints from them at all.

As for us, we were on Fido but got tired of the constant price hikes, found a deal through Costco and switched to Rogers instead. Except... over about 18 months they raised it $5/line, twice. Then last month they tacked on another $5, so with tax we're over $100 now. Honestly we don't even use that much data between home and the office, so an "unlimited" plan is overkill, plus Rogers coverage at our place isn't even that great. So we just said forget it and left.

Haven't landed on a "perfect" plan yet, just went with something reasonable, 30 CAD for 5G with 50GB. Not that I even need 5G, honestly I'd have been happy with 25 CAD for 25GB, but that combo just isn't available right now.

I referred someone to fizz and that person tried to use the service and told me the signal was horrible, like 1 bar. She then took a sim from videotron and now the signal is a strong 4 bars.

Videotron use the same tower, so signal should be the same, no?

Is there something in the fizz apn or some backend fuckery that restrict the frequency used for fizz users?

Im trying to make sense of that...

Any idea?

Coming from fido, massive props to fizz for having such great coverage in longueuil, quebec. I am writing this sitting in the same place where i had 1 bar with fido, but now its 3 bars with fizz! Love it!

What do you all think are the odds of Fizz doing like Freedom and putting everyone on 5G speed? It would be great! I have the $29 20 GB 4G plan and I would like 5G, but not for $6 more per month.

if you had cellular data in a cave then I would understand. Videotron offers it for every phone so why not fizz?

I just switched hed yesterday and having a good experience so far.

I was with Freedom for a long time and started with them when they were Wind. But have been jumping back and forth with Rogers for the last 6 years.

I am totally done with Rogers after their latest bull shit and I don't think any one is going to be able to beat the $29 per month for 50GB any time soon.

Just editing to add that I used a random referral code from this sub reddit! I like the referral code system Fizz has it seems like a good way to get new customers and reward existing ones.

I have a Halifax 902 area code, but live in ON. Too many things tied to 902, so didn't change it. Can I select Ontario, or should I select Canada as my region?

Looking to switch over, but unsure if my phone will work.

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.

Some people recommend to put it in bridge mode and use a router as this model does not work very well in Wifi Mode.

What is your experience with the CODA-5610Q modem on WiFi mode? How about the other model, the the CODA-4680, is it any better on Wifi mode?

This is a backup phone that I used for testing and I noticed the WiFi calling option after changing the phone number because the existing number started getting a lot of spam so YMMV. It did take a while for the phone number to change over in the settings and I did see Wi-Fi Calling available before the number changed so it's probably the new beta which will be going stable in December.

Looking to get a new cell phone line, but have no experience with the company. Have our own phone.
In the Niagara Region.
Any feedback positive or negative is appreciated
Thanks!

I know Wi-Fi calling is being rolled out probably slowly and have seen some iPhone users have it already amongst some others.. I have an S21 and am just curious for those of you who have received it what kind of phone do you have and when did it become available to you?

I'm looking to switch carriers and have been recommended Fizz quite a few times. Their plans seem to have great value for what you're paying.

My one concern is the mobile network service. I want to make sure phone calls are clear and I don't sound muffled to people, nor cut in and out. I also want to make sure when I'm using data, I'm not constantly dealing with service issues, I understand once in a while depending on if you're in a bad service area, like elevator or something.

Any help would be great, thank you all!

I realized the ping sucks for fizz even with 5g if you are in vancouver. Like the ping is over 100+ ms and its not even smooth. Like there is package drop and stuffs. Is there any good internet for vancouver

I tried to extend the time for calls before going to the voicemail by typing the code **61*+15146470999*11*30#. I got a message on my phone it was accepted and I restarted the phone which should have modified to 30 seconds the timeframe it takes for a call to voicemail.

When I do a test, nothing changed it's still the same 20 basic 20 seconds before the call gets transfered to voicemail.

Anyone got an idea what's going on?

Bonjour! J’habite à Montréal-Est et je suis avec Virgin depuis 20 ans. Je n’ai jamais eu de problème, sauf avec les augmentations : là, j’en ai vraiment marre de devoir appeler à chaque fois pour négocier une baisse, et malgré ça, ça reste trop cher.

J’ai vu que Fizz offre beaucoup de bons forfaits mobiles, alors je voulais savoir si tout fonctionne bien au niveau des appels, textos et de la 5G. J’ai lu que les appels peuvent parfois couper et que la connexion 5G est lente. Est-ce que c’est vraiment le cas? Est-ce que vous êtes satisfaits de Fizz? Merci!
