I am trying to buy a SIM card and my credit card is declined.
I have an account with fizz and bought a phone through fizz and it works all right and I ordered another phone through fizz for my brother but didn't get the SIM card for it. Now I want to order a SIM card through my account so I can activate the second phone to give to my brother and I keep getting a red message at the top of the screen saying payment method declined. I got on chat for help and they told me i would have to verify my identity by photographing a piece of photo id and photo the visa card and send it to them through the online chat window. It seems like a lot of hastle just to get a SIM card. My account is using the same visa card and my address for the visa card matches with my bank records for my home address. This is extremely frustrating. I wonder if I made a mistake getting fizz. I have been happy with fizz up to now but this is a huge pain.

Hi Dapfizzer thanks for your help. I know how to buy it through the fizz website but it won't let me for some bizarre reason that I'm not aware of. I live in Ottawa and if they sold SIM cards here I would buy one at a local store.
My brother is in the hospital with a newly diagnosed malignant tumor and has been there since the middle of January getting cancer treatment. His phone uses Chatr and it is garbage. I was trying to call him and Chatr seems to use second tier equipment because I always have some problem getting in touch with him. I bought him a new phone through Fizz but didn't get the SIM card because he was using the Chatr SIM.
My brother gave me the phone I bought for him from Fizz back to me to put a Fizz card in and I am getting blocked from buying the new Fizz SIM card. This is more BS than I want to take. It's too bad Fizz customer support is through a Chat window. Chatr's customer support is great even though their phone network stinks using Roger's equipment.
I don't want to go to a contract with the other phone providers. Maybe I will return the phone I bought for him back to Fizz as they don't seem to care about customer support. I will not send pictures of my ID to someone just to verify my identity. Can you spell Identity Theft Fizz?
