SIM/phone without a plan?
Hello!
I was wondering if it is possible to get a Fizz SIM without participating in a plan? My mom is visiting from abroad for ~3 weeks and wanted to ensure she has access to a phone. Her current phone is 'unlocked' so I was thinking of getting a SIM but I'm open to getting a cheap, basic phone as well. Any suggestions would be really helpful!!

Hi @Salome
Re-reading your post, probably you don't want to create a new account, you can add multiple plans on the same account, but considering that your mother will stay here for 3 weeks, can I suggest the following
- Buy a Fizz's SIM
- Open a new account (I know probably you try to avoid this) you need a different email
- Use the referral code from your account for activate the plan for your mom
- if your mother will leave in 30 days, a couple of days after the activation, modify the plan to the min ~12$
- When you are in the new billing cycle, close the plan
In this way you will get 25$ credit on your first account, therefore 25-12$ =13$ gain :D

Non you need to buy a SIM and activate a plan for 3 weeks or more or less

It is possible to buy a SIM card!
Your experience starts with a SIM card.

Once activated in your phone, it’s what enables your phone to connect to the Fizz mobile network.

It looks like you want to buy Fizz SIM card first without creating a new plan or activating it. When you mom comes, you want to create a plan and activate that SIM.
If this is true, then yes it's possible.
PS
You can buy the SIM card at Couche Tard, Jean Coutu or at the metro station vending machine.

Hello @Salome
You may buy a sim card (15$) in a PJC pharmacy to avoid waiting and delivery worries. If your mom will use it for emergency call only (no data), you may take the lowest plan at 10$ for a month and put 3$ dollars in call options for 60 minutes. If you want illimited minutes plan, it is 17$ for a month (no data, no text message) and for 20$ you have also texts unlimited (no data). The voicemail is optional for 2$.
You must unsubscribe from your plan at any time, but the cancellation will officially take effect at the end of your current payment cycle. For example, if you unsubscribe on day 1 of your payment cycle, your plan will be officially closed in 29 days. Do not wait at the end of your payment cycle (last five days) because of the auto-renewal policie.
Is it worth all these efforts, it is up to you. Check these links for more details :
