Why couldn’t I text or call from my fizz cellphone, while in England, ?

Hi Rachel

The calls are not working outside Canada and USA it is very strange that you were able to receive calls.

Important : You will not be able to make calls while roaming outside your Canada or the United States.
Roaming calls (incoming or outgoing) will be available at a later time. We will update this FAQ when we have a firm date.
In the meantime, you will be able to use data, and send/receive texts when you travel outside your coverage zone. To make and receive calls, you can use messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Messenger.

For the SMS can your try to reboot the phone?
