I bought the travel add-on and it is not working. Data roaming is enabled. I can see that my cellular is connected to a local carrier (movistar), but I cannot get data. I appreciate any help. Thanks

    Fling, I don't know what you are referring to when you say addon for phone call ? Once outside of Canada/US you don't have phone calls with Fizz. It is Data and/or Text only.

    @Erwingo

    For Columbia, texts are pay as you go only, so you need to ensure you have money in your wallet.

    For Data, it depends on package you bought (see image below).

    Need to have APN settings properly configured as mentioned above. You need to have roaming enabled also. AND the automatic for network selection does NOT always pick the correct carrier that Fizz has an agreement with. So you MAY have to manually select and try the other carriers available in the network selections.


    Now, if all that fails, Fizz Customer service agents are only available online. Here we are all end users like you.

    • If the green bubble does not appear make sure your ad blocker is disabled, otherwise try with another browser.

    PS: For me the only combination that works for CHAT, is Firefox, in a private window, and only when in the French language..

    CHAT however is the quickest method, but facebook is the easiest.

    First step: Restart the phone

    If it doesn't work, look at your general network settings. Data should be allowed when roaming. NEVER select automatic networks while roaming. Furthermore, you should verify your APN settings and make sure you follow the procedure at:
