Trying to return or exchange defective phone

k2021

I bought a new phone which ended up being defective with my $100 rebate perk and I’m trying to return it, but the “My phones” page on my account won’t load. All I see is the lightning and a circle symbol that goes round and round, and never actually loads the page. I don’t have AdBlock, and I already tried different browsers and clearing the browser data (cache, cookies, history, etc.). I tried leaving the page load for an hour, but it just keeps loading. I can access everything else on my account page (Overview, My plans and My settings) except “My phones” even after waiting 5 hours.

How can I get some help to get the web page working? Also, if I return the phone can I get my perk back?

Hello k2021,

I am sorry to hear about this situation.
I recommend trying to access the page using an incognito browser.

Here's some information that will be sent to you in the event that a return is well considered:

Any return request must be submitted online via your Fizz account under My phones/Manage my phone/Return my phone.

The IMEI of the phone that is returned must match the IMEI associated with the return request you submit online. 

 

If you just bought your phone and are unhappy with it, you may return it under the 15-day return policy.

You must submit your request online within 15 days of the date on which you received your phone. Once that delay has expired, the return policy will be expired. See the details of the 15-day return policy

 

If you’re having an issue with your phone, you can make a warranty claim. 

Make sure the issue is covered by the warranty. Check warranty details before submitting your request.
