Fixing a payment issue
Only one last attempt will be made between 10 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding your plan’s anniversary date to collect the amount due.
If your payment fails once again, your plan will be deactivated, and you will be notified. You will be informed of the two steps to complete (in this order) to reactivate your service, those being:
-
Check your payment method: Is your payment method up to date? If you need to add a new one, make sure to set it as the default payment method for your plan.
-
Make a payment now: Once your default payment method is all set and up-to-date for this plan, look for the Make my monthly payment button in your account. This will trigger a payment attempt, and your service will be reactivated once the payment is confirmed.
Once your payment has been received and confirmed by Fizz (please allow a delay of up to two hours), your plan will be reactivated.
What happens if the payment is not processed before the end of my payment cycle?
If the payment is not processed before the end of your payment cycle, the Fizz subscription associated to this plan will be automatically cancelled:
-
In the case of a mobile plan, your SIM card and your telephone number (which could be assigned to another Fizz member) will be deactivated. Your Fizz subscription will be cancelled, and you will lose all of your rolled over data. Any funds left in your Fizz wallet will be reimbursed via the payment method associated to your Fizz account.
-
In the case of a Home Internet plan, your subscription will be deactivated and cancelled. The instructions to return your Fizz Wi-Fi modem will be sent to you, but also remain available in the My Account section of the website.
This process occurs automatically; you will receive automated reminders.
Can I keep my phone number if my mobile plan is cancelled due to a payment failure?
When your mobile plan is cancelled due to a payment failure, you risk the lost of the associated phone number. It is therefore VERY important, if you want to keep your phone number, to pay your outstanding balance as soon as possible.
We keep the phone number in our systems for a period of 60 days following the deactivation date. If you want to transfer your number to another provider, you’ll have to reactivate your plan because only active numbers can be transferred.
