Hello, I got a travel SIM because I am in France and I have a dual SIM phone. The Data on my French SIM only works when it's the only SIM in the phone, regardless of position. Any Ideas if it's the Fizz SIM blocking and why? Even when I disable it, it still does not work. I have to physically remove it for the French one to work.

Thanks!

    Hi @Jason B. 3111

    No this depends from your phone, I used multiple times this configuration without any problems in Europe too.

    Please check the default APN (https://fizz.ca/en/faq/what-are-fizz-network-settings-apn)

    Be sure to configure the use of the right SIM for the data

        •    Follow the link on this page: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/what-are-fizz-network-settings-apn

       •   Wait 3 seconds for the green bubble with a '❔' appears at the bottom right of the browser, if you use a phone you must use it in desktop or horizontal mode

       •   Choose the option 💬 chat

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

    I have tried to reset the APN and I have tried different configurations. The only one that works is when the FIzz SIM is not IN the phone.

    Hello @Jason B. 3111, not all dual SIM phones allow you to use both SIMs at the same time or all plan features at the same time. I would recommend you do a search for the dual SIM capabilities and settings for your particular phone. And most/all dual SIM phones have a 'primary' and 'secondary' SIM, it may be marked on the SIM tray.

    Hi @Jason B. 3111

    I am using a samsung A51 and OnePlus 5T in Europe without any problem with Fizz SIM and Local SIM on it

    What phone are you using?

    On my Samsung Connections->Mobile Networks -> Network Mode SIM2 (The local SIM is on the SIM2)

    On Connections->Mobile Networks -> Access point Name Be sure to use the APN of your local SIM

    You can also disable the SIM1

    Connections -> Sim Card Manager


    For me I have Fizz on SIM 1 and the local one on SIM2

    Hello Jason B. 3111,

    I am sorry to hear about this situation.
    Please make sure that your roaming option is turned On on your device.
    Also, please try to turn off the automatic network selection and choose one manually if it's still not working.

    Hi @Jason B. 3111

    I don't have experience with the motorola sorry. I don't see why disabling the SIM's FIzz the phone isn't able to use the data from the french SIM, I am lucky that for me is working, sorry!!!

    I understand that you don't want to remove it since you can easly misplaced and loose it

    I have some idea but I don't want to share it, since you can damage the phone

    Since resetting my Fizz APN, the FIzz SIM still works but the french one does not. I am lost.

    I have only 1 for Fizz, and for Orange there are 2, but when I add theirs from what I find online, It doesn't appear.

    Hi @Jason B. 3111

    I enabled my Fizz card again

    Not when I go on the APN configuration on the bottom I can pick the APN for the SIM1 and 2

    Thanks for helping me out! I have only one Fizz APN, and two for orange. I have the same dual sim setup.. Still, nothing has changed. I will try with another phone tomorrow!

    Still nothing. I noticed that my second SIM doesn't quite fit right in its place, I tried switching them but still nothing.
