Hi, I understand that area codes are assigned based on postal code. I live in Ottawa and have a K1J postal code. For some reason Fizz assigned me an 873 (Quebec) number when I signed up, and it doesn't seem to let me change this. The only options available to me are 873 numbers. Can someone confirm if this was a mistake? What do I need to do in order to change to a 613, 343, or 753 number?

    Try to change phone number and refresh to see if you can get a 613, 343, or 753 number.

    Since you are close to the border, you were probably connected to a QC repeater when creating your account and the system selected automatically a QC number. This is the only thing I can think of. I think you can change your number though
