Fizz Mobile, one of Canada’s most affordable telecommunications options, is now offering free eSIMs. While continuing to provide affordable mobile plans , new and existing Fizz members can now enjoy the benefits of using an eSIM.
For the uninitiated, Fizz recently expanded its mobile services across Canada in 2024. While it originated in Montreal, Fizz members can sign up in Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Alberta. Since 2018, the company has been consistently supporting consumer and customizable mobile plans , such as data rollover perks and loyalty rewards for members.
SIM cards are vital but outdated
The Subscriber Identity Module card, commonly known as a SIM card, has long been the standard method of storing a phone number, mobile network access, and security algorithms. If you’ve purchased a smartphone in the past, chances are you’ve swapped out your SIM card to carry your phone number and mobile plan to the new device. They’re typically plastic, small in size, and while useful, they offer many disadvantages to the newer eSIM technology.
ESIMS, as the name suggests, are a fully digital version of a SIM card. With an eSIM, there’s no need for a physical card to be used in your device. Your phone number, mobile plan, and profile follow you from device to device, thanks to remote activation. Now, Fizz is offering this benefit to Canadian members. With an eSIM, you can say goodbye to the inconveniences and hassles associated with traditional SIM cards.
SIM cards used to be so vital to smartphone usage. However, their drawbacks have often been frustrating. For example, swapping a SIM card between devices can be a hassle unless you have the SIM card key handy. Luckily, all new devices come with one, but if you travel a lot or have multiple devices, swapping a SIM comes with the chance that you won’t have the key at your disposal. Traditional SIM cards also carry a security risk. They can, of course, be lost or stolen, leading to embedded information falling into the wrong hands.
eSIMs do not have the same disadvantages as physical SIM cards.
With an eSIM, new and existing Fizz members can forgo all of these liabilities. By taking advantage of Fizz’s services, you can manage your eSIM online. So, there’s no need to order and go into a retail location and get a physical SIM card. An eSIM is more resistant to cloning. Because everything is being managed online, there’s no physical card to lose or have stolen from you. With an eSIM, you can also store multiple profiles and use a single device for multiple phone numbers. This is a fantastic perk for those who travel or need a business line on their device.
When activating a new Mobile Plan with Fizz you can select to use an eSIM online. The mobile carrier is also offering members the ability to swap a physical SIM associated with an existing Fizz Mobile Plan for an eSIM. Fizz will also transfer your eSIM from one phone to another. Whether you purchase a device from Fizz online or bring your own device to the carrier, all devices receive the option of an eSIM if requested.
