Fizz Plans: How the Builder Works, Prices, and the $20 Referral Minimum

Updated 2026-07-14 · fact-checked against official Fizz sources

Lineup as of July 2026. Fizz uses a build-your-own plan tool and prices vary by region and promo window — these are verified example configurations, not a fixed lineup. Anything at $20/month or more qualifies for the referral bonus; the $14–17 talk-only plans do not.

The Fizz model: you build your own plan

Fizz doesn’t sell a fixed lineup — it’s a configurator. On fizz.ca you assemble your plan piece by piece: the coverage, the data bucket (0 to 100GB and up), unlimited talk or not, texts, voicemail, and an optional international-calls add-on. The price recalculates as you go. Two Fizz customers rarely have exactly the same plan, and that’s by design.

Everything is no-contract, with no activation fee and a free eSIM — and the price is locked: “keep the price of your plan forever,” as long as you don’t change it yourself.

The three coverage tiers

• Provincial: talk and data within your province. The cheapest option — talk-only plans start at $14/month.
• Canada: the whole country.
• Canada-US: both countries, including Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico. The option for regular border-crossers.

Coverage is where you can use the plan. Where you can subscribe is a separate question: Fizz is only available to residents of Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia, and your home address is validated at signup. No Saskatchewan, no Atlantic provinces, no territories.

Prices: variable by province, frozen once you activate

Two things are true at once. First, prices vary by region and move at promo windows — today’s lineup isn’t next month’s. Second, once your plan is active, your price stops moving.

A few dated reference points to calibrate:

• Headline offer as of July 14, 2026 (Ontario region): 80GB for $34/month — with the official note “current offers are valid until July 16.” If you’re reading this after that date, the offer has probably changed.
• 5G launch pricing (December 2025): 35GB Canada at $35; 100GB Canada-US at $46.
• Floor of the lineup: $14/month for a provincial talk-only plan.

The table at the top of this page is maintained separately and reflects the lineup verified on the date shown — trust it over blog screenshots, which are almost always expired.

5G everywhere except Manitoba

Fizz launched 5G on December 17, 2025 — but only in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. In Manitoba there is no Fizz 5G: it’s LTE only. If you’re in Winnipeg and 5G is your dealbreaker, this isn’t your carrier for now. Everywhere else, 5G plans are built in the same configurator as everything else.

What every plan includes, whatever you configure

• Data rollover: unused data stays valid for the two months following your cycle. A light month isn’t a wasted month.
• Data gifting: you can gift data to any other Fizz member — a pillar of Fizz’s community culture.
• 15-day free trial: free eSIM, 3GB, 100 minutes, 100 texts, no credit card, without leaving your current provider.
• Locked price, no contract, no activation fee, free eSIM — worth repeating, because it’s the core of the offer.

What Fizz doesn’t offer: Wi-Fi Calling

Let’s be blunt, because nobody else is: Fizz does not offer Wi-Fi Calling, on any plan. If your basement, concrete apartment or cottage is a cellular dead zone, no Fizz plan will route your calls through your router. It’s the most common complaint from users, and it’s exactly the kind of thing the 15-day free trial exists to check before you port your number. Test coverage at home, at work, in the underground parking — then decide.

The $20 minimum: the catch nobody mentions

Here’s the detail missing from just about every referral-code site out there: the referral bonus requires the new member’s plan to cost at least $20 per month, before taxes and after discounts.

Concretely:

• The $14–17 talk-only plans do not qualify for the bonus. You can pick one, but don’t enter a referral code expecting $25 — nothing will happen.
• The math is done after discounts: a plan listed at $22 with a $3 discount nets out at $19 and no longer qualifies. Check the net amount in your order summary.
• Above $20 net, everything qualifies — from the small data plan up to 100GB Canada-US, the bonus is the same. The exact amount ($25 guaranteed, sometimes $40 outside Quebec) is broken down in $25 or $40: the verified answer.

The code goes into a single field, before you submit the order, and never afterwards — the walkthrough is in where to enter the code. And the field is shared with promo codes: it’s one or the other.

eSIM or physical SIM

The eSIM is free and activates the same day — it’s the simplest path, and activation is entirely online (no store can activate a Fizz SIM). If you prefer a physical card, they’re sold at Circle K, Couche-Tard, Jean Coutu and Metro (in Montreal); Fizz only shows the price at checkout — third parties report $5 to $15, which we haven’t been able to verify officially.

How to choose

• Talk and text only: the $14–17 floor — knowing the referral bonus won’t apply.
• Normal use, mostly on Wi-Fi: a modest data bucket above $20: the bonus applies, and the two-month rollover absorbs the heavier months.
• Heavy data: aim for promo windows (this week’s 80GB for $34 is one) — your price stays locked afterwards.
• Regular US border crossings: the Canada-US coverage, which includes Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
• Not sure about coverage? The 15-day free trial, no credit card, before any decision — especially with no Wi-Fi Calling to paper over a weak zone.

Fizz also offers Home Internet (Quebec only), and the referral bonus applies there too. When you’re ready, enter the code shown on this page in the field provided before submitting your order — and if anything snags, see the code isn’t working.
