Hello,

I am trying to get a refund ordered through an app but it says the name on the phone is different from the buyer. There are 2 phones on my Fizz account and they are to my name (I assume) but one is my wife's phone so when she tries to get a refund, she isn't allowed to do it as the phone is apparently not to her name.

I've been looking through the options on the account and I am unable to find the option to change the name for one of the phone. Do they have to both be under my name?

Thank you!

    @Jessy_ref_i88b6 I see my name, but I don't want to change my name, I want to add a different name to one of the phone number. Or should I change it temporarily to her name and then back to mine?

    I've done that already but it still says only my name is associated to that number. Does it take some time to take effect?

    You should try to change the name on the account to see if that helps

    But when you say an app, what do you mean?

    She's trying to refund a gift card she bought on a foreign application and they require the name to be the same on the phone number and on the bank card. Not sure exactly how that works to be honest. Anyway, I've decided to change the name in the settings and see if that works. As of now, it is still under my name when she tries to get the refund. Does it take a few minutes/hours/days for the name change to take effect?

    Thank you for your help.

    I don't know exactly how long can take

    However, how they can know? Fizz doesn't send any Caller name, therefore, when you make a call you can only see the number, you can see the name if it is entered the phonebook. The service agreement, change if there is a modification in the plan.
