I just came back from a trip and in need of making phone calls. I didn't have any minutes on my account so I added 300 minutes phone calls and calls to USA and I still can't make calls. I tried to contact an agent through Messenger and his only answer is that I dont have any minutes. I sent him the confirmation of my add-ons and no more answer from him. HELP

hope it is working now. But add ons (extra minutes) are supposed to be instant, as soon as you pay of it.
But if you add an option in your plan, it will be valid only on the next billing cycle.
Maybe contact Customer Service again?8 -
Yes, I know add ons are supposed to be instant. They said the will open a ticket for this issue but, I'm afraid it's going to take ages before I get an answer and get this problem solved. Not too impressed with service so far to be honest.9

Meanwhile, try restarting your phone.
Also can you check your Fizz account to be sure you have the correct Add-ons?

You need to buy international call and choose United States in order to call US if you don't have Canada + US coverage
.
If you bought Call/Text then you need Canada + US coverage to make calls to US.8 -
I do have the right add ons and I did all the step recommended by Fizzy. The problem here is I can't even make local calls at all, nevermind call calls to USA. Anyone has a good web app for calls to USA that is not Skype ? I have an urgent call to make8

You can use Fongo (fongo.com) but you would need to buy some credit to call US (2c/minute) and use your Data (or wifi ) to use it. This is a VOIP service. 100% free to call in Canada11

You can get TEXTNOW. It works well.
