    Hi for receive message you have need little data Internet.

    Ensure that mobile data is turned on, even if you’re connected to Wi-Fi. MMS messages don’t usually work over Wi-Fi.

    Test with no Wi-Fi if activate.

    Check setting with here:

    sorry to hear that. this is my nightmare issue - I transferred my existing number from Fido to Fizz in the evening of march 17,2025. I purchased a new physical SIM card and am using an iPhone 7 (confirmed it is compatible from the website and the service rep). The activation process took over 2.5 hours to complete. Since ~ 8:36 pm on monday night (march 17), after the so-called successful transfer (no more Fido signal and Fido confirmed my line was transferred out), I’ve had no Fizz mobile phone service, can’t send receive messages can’t calls and can’t receive calls. Even iMessage is not working, and there's no SOS display either.
    I’ve tried other phones with the same result. I reset the network connection, restarted my phone multiple times, and inserted and removed the physical SIM card, but nothing works. The issue was escalated to tech support with a ticket on the same night of transfer, but there have been no meaningful updates. The responses I received were vague, saying "be patient!""very soon," "any time," or "hopefully by the end of the day!"

    My work and study heavily depend on phone service, and I'm now stuck. I can't transfer to another provider because my number with Fizz isn’t working—I can’t even receive a porting request. This has been an extremely frustrating experience, and I urgently need help.
    Furthermore, I noticed that the discussion post on fizz community was closed very fast, preventing me and others from having a meaningful discussion on the topic.
    i’m out of a phone service for 1.5 days now and i need a phone to work it has impact my current work and life.
