10GB DATA PERKS received on account with NO MOBILE and are NOT GIFTABLE
What can I do with 5 10GB DATA PERKS on an account with no phone?
Don't tell me that I need to start a mobile plan. I already have a mobile plan with FIZZ.
My mobile plan is under a separate account (IRUZA) and FIZZ will not allow me to consolidate the accounts.
Do I really need to switch phone companies in order to consolidate my accounts?
Is there another solution?

Currently there is no option to merge or separate your account(s) on Fizz. You can only do it through a 3rd party provider.

It's a perk and you don't have to use it if you don't have a compatible plan.

The following workaround allows you to consume those perks giving that your phone supports the use of two eSIM simultaneously.
- Add a new (but temporary) mobile plan to your account with no talk time, SMS or voicemail.
- Activate your perks on your new mobile plan
- Activate the eSIM on your device and configure your phone to use data from this new plan (you current mobile plan and phone number will still work)
- Reduce the amount of data from your current mobile plan to lower your bill
After you have consumed all perks, just delete the temporary mobile plan and eSIM. And don't forget to add data back to your original mobile plan.
As you can see, it's easy to have two distinct eSIM (one for voice/SMS, the other for data). The eSIMs can even be from different carriers.
For best results, you want to synchronize the creation of the new plan with your current billing schedule.

Nope, two eSims at the same time do only work on select Android phones. For example, won't work on the cheaper Motorola phones (not sure about the pricy ones) nor on the TCL 60 XE NXTPAPER 5G (for models where carrier hasn't deactivated eSim usage altogether). One example where it does work are recent Pixel phones.
Also, what are proposing has extra costs, $12 minimum for the extra plan in most of Canada (only QC gets it cheaper at $7). Not to mention that OP would have to have a dual-sim phone. Not sure if it still worth it. Activation window for them perks should be expiring any day now and they are valid for 30 days after activation only. I mean, all you really get at this point is a one-time 50Gig pack valid for 30 days.

I stand corrected, thanks.
