rollover data to kids?

Julie F. #25921

Hi again, sorry for all the questions! SO I just ordered online a 4G-supported watch for my son. My plan would be to get myself a Fizz sim card/ plan, and to share my excess data with him. Although I looked on the Fizz website, I'm not quite clear on how that would work. I would obviously have to buy him his own SIM card. But does he also need his own plan, and I'd just transfer him my 'excess'? Or can he just have a SIM and I transfer what I want to him? I guess if I did that though my 'talking minutes' couldn't be transferred over though as that's unlimited on my plan, right? Thank you!

Hi Julie you he would have to have a Sim card and a plan with Fizz in order for you to be able to transfer him your excess data. He also has to have a plan with Data so that he can receive the excess. Hope this helps with your process!

Hey Julie he would have to have a line with data abd his own Sim card for you to be able to transfer him your excess data.Now dont forget if he register on his plan you can each get the referral bonus. Otherwise you can add his line to your existing plan. Good luck with your decision hope that it cleared it out for you!

Hi Julie,

Each of you needs your own SIM card and plan.

With Fizz mobile, each plan can be customized to suit your needs:
- You get to select your coverage area: either Quebec use only, Canada use only, or Canada & USA use: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/subscription-area-and-coverage-area
- You can have unlimited texting (or no texting in your plan).
- You can have unlimited calling to your coverage area (or no calling in your plan).
- You can have up to 20 GB of data in your plan.
.
Note that you need to have data in your plan to participate in data gifting:
https://fizz.ca/en/faq/what-is-data-gifting-and-how-does-it-work
So with a data plan, you can send data and receive data from other Fizz mobile members.

And if you have extra data at the end of the month, the data will rollover:

If you choose a plan without texting or calling, you can still use pay-as-you-go services.
With Fizz, there is no contract. You are free to change your plan from-month-to-month to suit your needs.

BTW if you're a new customer, you can benefit from the current $35 promo.

Use a referral code in order to receive $35 until July 7 (after that, it's back to $25).

If you don't already have a code, you can pick mine

If you're activating 2 accounts, you can use the referral code of the first account when registering the second account.

If you don't already have your SIM cards, you may buy them at Couche-Tard in Montreal and North shore: https://fizz.ca/en/couche-tard-sim
