Activation and number porting help

LenK

I want to become a fizz client. My current provider contract expires February 2nd, but I would join Fizz immediately. I am thinking that I would use an eSim (Pixel 7), which I am guessing means that I would select or be assigned a number. However, I would like to port a number from an existing VOIP provider talkit.ca. Until the expiry of my current cell provider contract, and until the number is ported, I can use the dual SIM feature. Do you see any issues with that? Thanks.

Hi @LenK

Sorry at the moment Fizz allow the porting only from Canadian mobile provider with a number coming from the subscription zone

Note that a number transfer cannot be done on a line that is already active with Fizz.

Your phone number must be a mobile number. If it's associated with a landline or VOIP, it cannot be transferred over to Fizz. 

If you encounter an issue with any other type of number, please contact us using the chat bubble at the bottom right of this page so we can verify everything with you.

If your number starts with an area code outside the Fizz subscription area, your number cannot be transferred.

What you can do transfer to a mobile provider, which give you a trial period (in this way you can be refund) and transfer to Fizz after.

And remember to use a referral code in order to get 35$ credit at your second payment, for sure you can pick mine.

Hi,
VOIP Number Transfer: Fizz only allows the transfer of numbers from Canadian mobile providers. Numbers associated with landlines or VOIP cannot be transferred directly.

Dual SIM: You can use the dual SIM feature on your Pixel 7 to manage two numbers simultaneously. This would allow you to use a temporary number assigned by Fizz while keeping your current number until you find a solution for the transfer.

Alternative Solution: One option is to transfer your VOIP number to a mobile provider that offers a trial period. After the trial period, you can transfer that number to Fizz
