Acces network inside coverage area

Stel

Hello, 

When I'm outside the large area where I live, within my coverage area, I have network bars, I can receive SMS and calls. However, I can't call, text or use my data why? 

My spouse has the same coverage as me with Fizz and does not have this problem. How can I get access to my entire coverage area?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

if the network signal is weak, your phone may be connected to an antenna that is not in an optimal location for you to access the network.

Reboot (power cycle) your phone by holding down the phone’s start button for 10 seconds.

Following your reboot, your applications will load. Your phone will then re-authenticate to the Fizz mobile network and potentially recover its authorization to access the network.

Is the Fizz network chosen?

Make sure your phone is configured to automatically select the Fizz mobile network.

IMPORTANT: Before starting this process, make sure the SIM card is inserted in your device. Otherwise, the Mobile networks menu will not be visible.

The steps for enabling your device to automatically select a network varies depending on the type of phone. Here are two examples:

Android: Settings → Connections → Mobile networks → Network operators → Search networks → Automatic/Fizz

iPhone: Settings → Operators → Automatic/Fizz

Note: If the Fizz network is not optimal where you are, you may try to temporarily connect to our wider area network.

How to access the Fizz wider area network

The position and distance of our partners’ antennas may differ from ours — your mobile experience may improve at locations that are problematic for the Fizz network.

Reset your phone’s network settings

IMPORTANT: This operation will also reset your WiFi settings, mobile data, Bluetooth, etc.

The steps to follow to reset your network settings will vary depending on the type of device. Here are two examples:

Android: Settings → General management → Reset → Reset network settings

iPhone: Settings → General → Reset → Reset network settings

And if the problem still persists despite the possible corrections proposed by the troubleshooting, you should contact Fizz’s support team directly to inquire about that issue, they will be able to do some further investigation to correct this situation. You can do it by opening the following link: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/resolving-issues and simply scroll down until you see the green bubble, then click on it to start your chat session with the customer service.

If the chat bubble still does not appear at the bottom of the page, on the right, after a few seconds, the number of pending sessions is higher than the service’s processing capacity. At that time, you can leave a message on the other proposed communication channels:
