    Hello,

    You can consider trying a different charger...

    If that doesn't help, try to reach customer service on Live chat : https://fizz.ca/en/support as they sometimes need a few extra details to possibly escalate a ticket to address your situation.

    Do you mean Pixel 7 Pro? It should be on warranty still, just in case.

    charge level initially at 0%. tried different charge stations and different cords, got the charge level to 1% and phone did turn on before shutting down . Will keep on charger foe a while.

    Please look at the warranty as you can return your phone if it doesn’t work out.

    Hi @Bertrand T. #3574

    Regarding charging, when the battery is at 0%, it can easily take 30 minutes to display any information on the screen, and the charging process itself takes quite a while.

    As for the signal, you don't need to do anything on the old phone. The information to connect to the network is stored on the SIM card, so you can change it multiple times a day on different phones without any issues.

    If it still doesn't work, I would suggest starting with a reset of the Pixel 7 Pro, assuming you haven't configured it yet.

    If you have configured it, you can try a less invasive approach by resetting the phone's network settings to start.

    is your phone brand new? it should come with a certain amount of charge if it is.

    If it's new, I would ask for replacement under warranty.

    If it's refurbished, I would still contact Fizz for support
