I just activated my SIM and it will pick up the Fizz network and then dropping it, then pick up, then drop. I have tried it in several locations (in the house, outside, 10 minutes down the road at in a parking lot. I have tried flipping it on and off airplane mode. Resetting network settings. Restarting phone.. Honestly I'm about to toss this sim card in the garbage and go back to my old provider. It's an iPhone 7 and yes the software is up to date

    It does a similar thing in another iPhone. Support told me to order a new SIM card. I'm on the edge of the coverage area so if your signal was low yesterday, I'm guessing that could impact it

    You can try with a new SIM card, but you said this yourself "I'm on the edge of the coverage area so..."

    So I got an email this morning asking me continue activating my SIM card- when I click on the link it send me back to the page to enter my activation code (which I've done- so I tried again.. but then of course it says that that sim card has been activated.....) Looks like there is an issue with the activation of my SIM card.
    Also- I'm on the edge of the service boundaries BUT customer service had me try to connect to Fizz- ext and even that wouldn't work..
    At this point I'm thinking this is an activation problem NOT a sim card problem

    You can ignore that email. It sounds like you already activated.

    When you attempt to activate your SIM card and it fails, the session will trigger that "reminder" email to be sent to you. Also it happens often the email is sent the next day.

     

    You can also try enabling LTE and disabling it to see if it improves your signal strength.

     

    Keep in mind that if your area is on the edge of coverage, some providers will work better than others. a provider having nearby tower (closer to you) will yield stronger cellular signal.
