Fizz Mobile, one of Canada’s most affordable telecom options, is now offering free eSIMs. While continuing to provide cost-efficient mobile plans, new and existing Fizz members can now take advantage of the benefits of using an eSIM.

For the uninitiated, Fizz recently expanded its mobile services across Canada in 2024. While originating in Montreal, Fizz members can subscribe in Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Alberta. Since 2018, the company has been steadily supporting consumer-friendly and customizable mobile plans, data rollover perks, and loyalty rewards to 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SIM cards are vital but outdated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 had to swap your SIM card to carry your phone number and mobile plan over to the new device. They are typically plastic, small in size and while handy, offer many disadvantages to the newer eSIM technology.

eSIMs, as noted by the name, is an all-digital version of a SIM card. Using an eSIM, there’s no need for a physical card to be used within your device. Your phone number, mobile plan, and profile follow you from device to device, thanks to a remote activation. Now, Fizz offers this benefit to Canadian members. With an eSIM, you can wave goodbye to the disadvantages and hassles that are associated with traditional SIM cards.

SIM cards used to be so vital to the use of smartphones. However, their disadvantages have typically been frustrating endeavours. For instance, swapping a SIM card between devices can be a hassle unless you have the SIM card key handy. Fortunately, all new devices come with one, but if you travel a lot or have multiple devices, swapping a SIM comes with the chance of not having the key at your disposal. Traditional SIM cards also run a security risk. They, of course, can be lost or stolen, leading to embedded information falling into the wrong hands.

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.
