I added money to my wallet before leaving as well as purchased travel data. Travel data works fine. I still receive texts. But sending fails. I have reinstalled the fizz APN via texts from fizz.

I have used this phone for texting in the UK before, but with a UK sim.

Does anyone have and other suggestions on how to get fizz texting to work?

    Couple of months ago they change the smsc you can check that

    1. Make sure your phone is correctly configured for the Short Message Service Center (SMSC).
    2. The number configured in your phone must be: 1-514-424-0053.
    3. The process can vary from one phone model to another. Here are two examples:
    4. Verification on Android: Applications → Touch the Messaging icon → Context Menu (the three points at the top of the screen) → Settings → More Settings → Text Messages 
    5. Verification on iOS: Make sure you have the latest network provider setting updates.
    6.  
    7. Most phones allow you to enter the ''+'' character by holding down the ''0'' key for a few seconds.

    You can chat in direct

    Thank you. Yes, everything is configured correctly on my phone. Chat was less than helpful, but they've now opened a ticket.
