Hello sccrstr,
Thank you for reaching out!
If you'd like to transfer your phone number to Fizz Mobile, you can initiate the transfer during the subscription process. Simply select the option to keep your current number when activating your Fizz plan and provide the requested information from your current provider.
Your current phone number must remain active with your existing provider until the transfer is completed. You may receive a confirmation request from your current provider that needs to be approved to authorize the transfer. You have here all the information related to the transfer process: How do I transfer my current phone number to Fizz? | Fizz
Once the transfer is finalized, your previous mobile service will be automatically cancelled for that number. The transfer is usually completed quickly, but the exact timing may vary depending on your current provider.
In order to have the number transferred to Fizz you can either use the IMEI code of the phone or the account number that you have with the current provider. If you experience issues, you can try using the account number. You can find your 15-digit IMEI number instantly by dialing *#06# on your phone's keypad. A small window will pop up on your screen showing the number.
In case you need assistance with the transfer, you can contact us on live chat: How to contact Fizz and get help. | Fizz
I wish you a wonderful day!

For Rogers, the transfer has to be confirmed with the Rogers account number, not the IMEI.
So: start the transfer request again in Fizz and enter:
Rogers account number (the one on the bill)
Do not enter the IMEI, even if Fizz asks for it
Make sure the Rogers line is active at the time of the transfer
Keep the Rogers SIM in the phone to receive the port-out validation SMS
