Internet abroad
So, the situation is:
I have Fizz line without data (only calls and messages)
Im going for a vacation abroad and I want to have data while abroad.
I know that I can buy an add-on for data roaming for abroad.
Question: will the internet from add-on work abroad even if I don’t have data in my line?

Yes it will work, remember to enable the data roaming on your phone
You don't need data to add an addon

At the moment is not possible
Important : You will not be able to make calls while roaming outside your Canada or the United States.
Roaming calls (incoming or outgoing) will be available at a later time. We will update this FAQ when we have a firm date.
In the meantime, you will be able to use data, and send/receive texts when you travel outside your coverage zone. To make and receive calls, you can use messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Messenger.

When I am outside the country, I am using Fongo or TextNow (please install the app before leaving, in some country you need to pay in order to install the app) with this app I can use a WiFi or the data, and you will get a phone number, therefore, you can also receive calls.

Hello @Alexander Y. , to use your Fizz phone number while traveling outside of QC (or Canada or Canada + USA according to your regular plan), you will need to purchase a travel add-on, and as another pointed out you need to enable roaming for calls and data on your device and may need to manually select a mobile network in the foreign country). Another option as someone mentioned is to buy a data add-on and install a calling app on your device or install the same app and use on any public WIFI. Note public WIFI is not as secure as your home/work WIFI. Safe travels.
