My father has unsubcribe his physical SIM card mobile plan, and I'd like to know when I can transfer my eSIM card to his physical SIM card so I can reuse this deactivated SIM card? Thank you.

    Why don't you just try? Either the Fizz system accepts the SIM card or it doesn't.

    No waiting time once disabled, it can be used again.

    Why did you transfer eSIM to SIM? They’re basically the same...

    My pixel 6a only accept 1 psim + 1 esim working at same time. Not for 2 esim together if I need travel aboard.

    You can reuse the old SIM card if you still have the activation code.

    Hello Simtra,
    Thank you for posting your question, I will clarify the subject for you.
    The Fizz SIM card has a lock-delay which is 30 minutes that's starting once a Fizz SIM card is deactivated or is being in process to be activated (when you try to activate the SIM through the Fizz member account but you don't fully activate it).
    Once the delay have passed, you can use the SIM again for any other Fizz mobile plan.
    You can also see more details of this subject here: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/activate (the delay I was talking about is highlighted in section 7 of this FAQ).
    I hope you have a pleasant day!
