Does the data plan work in Europe/Spain? Do I need the new voLTE sim card? I'm planning a trip and I'm wondering if I can use and add-on or need to get a local sim card instead.

    Hi

    For mobile data in Spain, Fizz offers the European travel add-on. You can purchase blocks of 1 GB of data for $5 each. As long as your phone is compatible with the local networks, the travel add-on should work for you - https://fizz.ca/en/faq/im-travelling-outside-my-coverage-zone-what-are-my-roaming-options

    You do not need the new voLTE sim card to use mobile data while travelling.

    If you encounter any issues, you can try these steps

    Try restarting your phone.


    Is your APN is correctly set up? (Android)

    Steps to follow for configuring the APN can vary from one phone to another. Here's an example:

    Settings → Connections → Mobile networks → Access Point Names → APN

    Fizz APN settings are:

    • APN: mobile.bm
    • MMSC: http://mms.mobile.bm
    • MMS proxy: mmsproxy.mobile.bm
    • MMS port: 80
    • APN type: default,mms,supl   

    Does the phone choose the right network?

    The steps for enabling your phone to automatically choose a network vary 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

    You can also try manually connecting to a specific operator
