    At the moment FIzz doesn't offer this kind of lock probably in a near future

    You can always contact the support,

    You can't lock Fizz account for now. You can set s password on SIM card.

    Unfortunately, that won't help against port-out fraud. I hope providers will eventually implement a confirmation process where a user actually has to reply before porting out a number.

    In order for the transfer out process to complete, Fizz will send you an sms to your phone asking you to confirm the request and you have to reply with a YES from your phone.

    So it's not that easy to port out from Fizz ( unless the fraudster has your phone ).
