 AA> Anyone have experience with Fizz mobile?

I don't have experience with Fizz directly, but I do have experience with
Freedom Mobile.  Fizz is Freedom's flanker brand (like Koodo is to Telus, Fido
is to Rogers, etc).

Freedom worked fine while I was in one of their main coverage areas, but
driving between towns & cities was hit or miss.  Even between where I live in
Binbrook over to Hamilton I'd often hit a dead zone.  Another time I was
driving to St Catharines on Highway 20 and while I have "service" (bars
showing on my phone) I wasn't able to use data for about 20 minutes until I
got to an actual Freedom zone.


One thing to keep in mind with Fizz is to make sure that his address is in
Fizz's coverage area:

"The majority of your usage (calls, texts and data) must be done on the Fizz
network.

We reserve the right to interrupt or block access to our network of partner
providers if you use your mobile service primarily on their networks for 3
consecutive payment periods."

Check his address (or where he'll be using the service most) here:

https://fizz.ca/en/coverage#map


Both my parent's places (Bracebridge & Utterson) are outside of their
subscription areas, so they aren't able to switch to Fizz (the website
wouldn't even let them sign up with their home addresses).

... I'm going to make a prediction - it could go either way
