Hi There,
My phone plan is only for Quebec province. If I go on a trip in Ontario province and use the phone, will there be any fees added to me next bill or the phone will just stop working by itself ? Thanks in advance for your answer.

    The phone will not work in Ontario and the exception of the free incoming sms
    fizz is a prepaid service therefore you will not be charged

    At the exception of you put money in the fizz wallet, therefore that money will be used to cover your usage till you use all up and if you want to do this, remember to activate the roaming on the phone too

    According to website and CS there are no roaming charges so it should just not work, but in my experience if you have money in your wallet it automatically charges your wallet for data and calls while out of your coverage zone. You could disable roaming and network data to avoid that.

    I never tested disabling the roaming should not protect from the use of the wallet since if you are in Fizz coverage should not consider as a roaming

    Fizz services will simply not work in Ontario. If you add funds to your Fizz wallet, or add an add on for Ontario, only then you will get coverage.

    Adding funds to your wallet will charge you as you use data or make calls. Adding an add on for Ontario will be something you pay for in advance.

    Adding an add on for Ontario or funds to your wallet.
