When should we expect eSIM deployment?
As per title, when will Fizz deploy eSIMs in your opinion?
It would be very convenient for Fizz too, since it doesn't have any physical store, and to buy a SIM we have to use the vending machines or wait for delivery. Also it would be great for all those people who have a second plan, let's say for the workplace or for another country, to keep both sims in the same phone without having to switch between sim cards.

We are still waiting the VoLTE :D
If I should pick the options I will take VoLTE, VoWiFi
For the second plan, it is enough to have a dual sim phone

Yeah you are right but for VoLTE, we have at least an ETA. I can't find any news about eSIM though...

Hopefully, they will implement VoWi-Fi soon. Currently, only a couple of phones have eSIM capability, so if I were a decision maker at Fizz, I would include it only in the long-term strategic plan without a specific date.
Don't hold your breath waiting for the eSIM :D

To our knowledge, there’re not about to

I found this https://support.apple.com/fr-ca/HT209096
however,
I believe that I am fired as a Fizz manager. :D
The eSIM will fit well with the Fizz's vision, since Fizz is 100% online.

it will be ok when Videotron will have it
fizz will be one year after videotron and more

My guess is if the new iphone is eSIM only then it will probably be ready for the launch
0 -
Yeah, makes sense

Every answer has some right to it. Until Videotron doesn't release esim, there is no hope about fizz. I think as @Francis V. #452 suggested, when apple will release an only-esim iPhone, every carrier will start switching to esim

Hello everyone!
At the moment, our top priority is releasing VoLTE to everyone who has joined our network so news about eSIMs will be considered at a later date, at least after we are done with VoLTE.
As usual, we'll keep everyone informed through our Social Media platforms and the Forum if there's any news about it.
I'll keep this open for a while longer if you want to discuss about the e-sim topic.
Have a good one!

eSim would be a great selling point for international users coming in visit here. I only used company that have eSim I can prebuy when going to see the Fam in Europe.

Thank you, Paul, for clarifying it!
Let's hope VoLTE release will proceed smoothly and then we will wait for updates about eSIM.

Thank you Paul

I’d love to know too!

Let's deal with volte right now. As far as I understood, it's not time for esim just yet
0 -
Not at all

Why is it not the time just yet?
0 -
I am new to all of this

It seems like they are struggling to deploy volte for everyone at this time. We had no news about esim therefore we have to wait to see how it goes and if it's part of fizz plans

Ahhh ok. Good to know!

It’s becoming an embarrassment, Videotron (Fizz parent company) is the ONLY operator in north-America lacking support.
This level of technological feet dragging is mindblowing for a telecom company, at this point, it’s safe to assume that they decided to be « laggards » in the innovation adoption curve.
Meaning: they will on’y adopt it once forced upon them by suppliers and partners.0 -
In my opinion in 2024 or 2025 😅

Why you need eSIM ? What's the difference
-1 -
Easier to port in and out. Also, easier to use 2 carrier at the same time
0 -
I know now! I read on this today! Thats a good thing

With Fizz, it won't change anything with my Pixel

What you mean?
0 -
e-sim card or sim...
0 -
If you want to travel and you need to pop in a new sim card would be nice to not be forced to go for e-sim just because your main one (Fizz) is a physical... I have a pixel too btw
