Currently client of Videotron mobile,

Is it possible to switch to Fizz mobile with the current Videotron SIM card instead of having to order a new one and save the $15?

If so, please advise

Thanks

    sad to hear that. then it makes no (real) sense to switch. the 15$ just makes the deal not of any value

    wake me up when Fizz drops the SIM fee

    If you create an account whit another email you can have 2 x $50 whit your referral code.

    Depends how you see it @Francois,

    Like an investment, the rewards and the program of Fizz may be on the long run more advantageous than Videotron. Specially with the 120mb internet plan @ 53$, I think it is a good deal.

    It all depends your needs too. I don't use the TV at all so I don't need a TV plan.

    And yes, it is legal to create two accounts, one for internet and one for mobile and get 2 x 50$ referral code, and if you do it properly, you can get 3 x 50$ (you get from someone else for the first account, then the second you use the referral code of you first account, so you get twice the 50$ for the second account). The only thing is tho, is you are not progress as fast and y ou won't get the reward quyickly by doing so because you won't get points quickly.

    I too already have the 120mb internet plan

    The reason I want to switch is dumbass Videotron charged me 25$ for (only) 300mb excess on my 4gb data plan

    You do not have to wait for their cycle since Videotron reimburses clients pro-rated. So you can cancel them at any time. They'll make it fair and clean on the following bill.

    Do not request Videotron to close your mobile line. Once you start the switch , Fizz will do do the paperwork and inform Videotron who will then do the closing on their end.

    Preferably, instead of purchasing the SIM card online, buy it in-store using this map to prevent package theft or delays. The map provides phone numbers so call beforehand to make sure they have some in stock.

    That way, you'll activate your line in the fastest and more secure way possible.

    Cheers!

    Hi @Francois

    If you want to make the switch to Fizz, don't wait too much, do it before july 12 for the following 2 reasons :

    • The 120Mbps/20Mbps is currently at 53$/month, a good special price, the 120/20 for the price of the 60/10
    • The 50$ referal bonus (applied on your third bill) is a special offer. Normally it is 25$.

    After july 12, those 2 deal will get back to normal. I guest the 120/20 price will get back near to 60$/month.

    Take care !

    like I said previously, I already have the 120/20 plan which is the same at about $50/m

    Thanks!

    Was thinking that Fizz don't allow this kind of "methods" :-)
