How to make sms work?

Pavel M.

For more than a month my SMS are not working. At first I wasn't able to send them, now I even can't receive them. As many online applications are using two-factor authentication with SMS it becomes quite critical issue.
So far I tried:
- at least 10 times to manually reset APN settings (https://fizz.ca/en/faq/what-are-fizz-network-settings-apn)
- reinsert sim card
- switch to manual network selection, then back to automatic.
Nothing of that worked. Maybe I should disable SMS and then enable them again in my Fizz account page?

The APN is needed only for the MMS and internet

Hi Pavel! Thanks for your question.
I think there is a problem in synchronisation of your Fizz account plan and Fizz Database, if you cannot sent and after cannot send/received.
In your case i suggest you to contact directly fizz by clicking the green chat bubble available in your account dashboard or by chatting with a fizz rep on facebook under the name "Fizz".
It's been a pleasure to assist you today. Have a nice day!
If you have any further question, ask me!
Don't forget to mark my answer as the best!
