Hi @Graywhale
Probably they want to have more client from the other provinces
If you set Canada Coverage, you're still paying from Quebec
To have an Ontario-specific plan, you would need to create a new plan with an Ontario address and an Ontario-based credit card. You cannot change the province without this, otherwise, every user will do that.
Good morning @Graywhale
The big telcos always had cheaper plans in Saskatchewan and Manitoba where they used to have competition from Sasktel and MTS.
When Fizz and others came into Manitoba, the introductory prices were cheaper than they are now.
Different prices in different markets is quite common, not just in the phone industry.
Cheers,
Brad
Fizz probably sees they have enough customers in QC so they stopped being so aggressive with their plans.
My plan is cheaper and I take a fairly minimal plan. It's 6$ cheaper for the equivalent plan in QC.
The option for unlimited calls is doubled from $4 to $8
The coverage options between QC and the rest of the provinces are $5 instead of $7 in province only coverage.
They are searching for new clients in Ontario.
The SIM you are being mailed in Ontario comes in an envelope preprinted with a Canada Post logo and a sender address in a small town just north of Trois-Rivières, QC. However, they put a sticker from Purolator over this information with a new bar code and another provider sender address at the western end of the GTA. This may explain why the pricing for the SIM cards is different, different shipping companies and SIM cards for Ontario shipped from a local in-province warehouse. All the information on the inside of the envelope is unilingual English, so there must be a separate SIM card envelope for French-speaking customers in Québec.
The SIM card is still another provider's card. My Android phone was even showing the roaming indicator initially when attached to the other provider network in Toronto, although that seems to now have disappeared after I factory-reset the phone and re-initialized it with the Fizz SIM card inserted.
