I am activating my SIM card on a new account now. Rogers confirmed I wanted to transfer my number. I have inserted the new FIZZ one. The following is the message on my screen "The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iphone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iphone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information."
What is going on with this Fizz activation? What am I missing? I have pressed the Try Again button about a dozen times
Thanks
RGuertin is your phone Unlocked?
Maybe you can accept as best answer, then ?

Hello RGuertin,
I am sorry to hear about this situation.
I just verified your account and I can see that you have a port in request that was completed successfully.
I would recommend restarting the phone and also testing the SIM using a different device.
If the issue persists please contact our support team to investigate this further: https://fizz.ca/en/contact-us
Have a lovely day,

If you bought your phone from another mobile provider and want to use it on the Fizz network, you need to make sure your phone is unlocked.
Insert your Fizz SIM card (activated or not activated) into your phone.
When your card is inserted:
If you bought your phone from a Canadian provider after December 1, 2017, it is unlocked by default.
Because Fizz is not the company that locked your phone, we cannot unlock it. Only the provider who sold you your phone (and who locked it) can unlock it for you. Ask this provider’s customer service team for an unlock code and instructions for unlocking your phone.
Make sure you have your IMEI handy when you contact the company who sold you your phone.
An IMEI is your phone’s ‘identity card’. It allows you to obtain your unlock code. It’s also an anti-theft provision that allows you to identify and block your phone if it is lost or stolen.
If the number is more than 15 digits long, use only the first 15 digits.
Don’t remember where you bought your phone? Look in your phone’s settings to find the name of the original provider. Go to settings > cellular data > service operator.
Many mobile providers have tools on their customer support site that enable you to obtain your unlock code and instantly unlock your phone without having to contact customer assistance.
By law, companies are not allowed to charge a fee to unlock phones. However, be aware that some websites specialize in unlocking phones and will offer this service for a fee.
To unlock a phone, it must not be declared lost or stolen. If you buy a phone from a private source, verify that it’s not on the National Stolen Device Blacklist by entering the phone’s IMEI on the Device Check Canada website: > https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/. Make sure the person who sells you a phone has unlocked it.
In some cases, it will be necessary to reset a phone to its original settings to unlock it. If this is the case, make sure you backup your personal data before resetting your phone. This backup can be restored if necessary after resetting your phone.
How do I find out if my phone is on the National Stolen Device Blacklist?
Alex,
Restart did not change anything. I do not have another phone to try the SIM card in. This situation is quite frustrating. I expected to port my number and have a working phone on Fizz. Have to try more. Thanks, will try the support team.
Still working on it. Rogers chooses this morning to update software and make whole system unavailable to check if phone is unlocked!
I am good now! Rogers had to unlock my phone and did it a few minutes ago! Thanks for your help
