Fizz 15-Day Free Trial: How to Activate It (No Credit Card)

Updated 2026-07-17 · fact-checked against official Fizz sources

1. Check your phone's compatibility You need an eSIM-compatible phone that is VoLTE-certified on the Fizz network — the trial is not offered on physical SIM cards. Fizz checks your model during signup.
2. Request the trial on fizz.ca Everything happens online, with no credit card. Your home address must be in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta or British Columbia.
3. Install the trial eSIM The free eSIM installs as a second line next to your current one. You keep your provider and your number for the whole trial — no porting involved.
4. Test for 15 days 3GB, 100 minutes and 100 texts to put the network through its paces: coverage at home, at work, on your commute — especially since Fizz has no Wi-Fi Calling.
5. Decide — and protect your bonus The trial ends on its own; there is nothing to cancel. If the referral bonus matters to you, enter the code on this page on a regular paid order of at least $20/month, before submitting.

Why this trial is genuinely risk-free

Carrier “free trials” rarely survive a reading of the fine print. Fizz’s checks the three boxes that actually matter:

• No credit card. Fizz asks for no payment method at all. There’s no “$0 today” that turns into a charge on day 16 — there is simply nothing on file to charge.
• No provider change. The trial is an eSIM that installs as a second line next to your current one. Your number, your plan and your provider don’t move an inch during the 15 days.
• Nothing to cancel. The trial expires on its own after 15 days. There is no exit procedure because there is nothing to exit.

As far as we know, it’s the only true no-strings trial among Canada’s budget carriers — and it’s surprising how few people know it exists.

What the trial includes

• A free eSIM — the trial is eSIM-only, no physical card.
• 3GB of data for the full period.
• 100 minutes of calls.
• 100 texts.

That’s enough for two weeks of realistic testing: browsing, making calls in the places that matter, comparing speeds against your current plan. It’s not a replacement plan — it’s a test bench, and it’s sized for exactly that.

The two eligibility conditions

1. An eSIM-compatible phone, VoLTE-certified on the Fizz network. Most recent phones (iPhone XS and up, Google Pixels, recent Samsung Galaxys) have eSIM, but VoLTE certification depends on the exact model — Fizz checks yours during signup, before you waste any time.
2. Living where Fizz operates: Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta or British Columbia. Your home address is validated, just like for a regular subscription. No Saskatchewan, no Atlantic provinces, no territories.

Activation, step by step

Everything happens online — no store can activate a Fizz SIM, and the trial is no different.

1. Check your phone. On the free-trial page at fizz.ca, Fizz confirms your model is eSIM-compatible and VoLTE-certified on its network.
2. Fill out the request. Contact details and home address (validated against the five eligible provinces) — that’s it. No credit card at any step.
3. Install the eSIM. It arrives digitally and installs in minutes as a second line in your phone’s settings. Your current SIM stays in place and active.
4. Use your 15 days. The clock starts at activation: 3GB, 100 minutes, 100 texts.
5. Let it expire — or subscribe. Nothing to cancel. If you subscribe, read the referral-code section below first: there’s a right way and a risky way to do it.

What to test during your 15 days

The trial is only worth as much as what you test. Our checklist:

• Coverage in the places that matter to you: home, office, basement, underground parking, daily commute. This is the single most important test, because Fizz has no Wi-Fi Calling: if one of your key locations is a cellular dead zone, no Fizz plan can route around it through your router. Details in Fizz plans.
• Calls, not just data. The 100 minutes exist for exactly this: make calls from the trial line in your weak spots and check quality and drops.
• Peak-hour speeds at home and at work — not just one speed test on a Tuesday at 2 p.m.
• Behaviour on the move: if you leave the city on weekends, this is your chance to see what the network does outside town.

Tip: in your phone’s settings, you can switch cellular data to the trial line while keeping calls on your main line — you live on the Fizz network without risking anything.

The referral code and the trial: the part nobody verifies

Let’s be precise, because that’s what this site is for.

What’s verified: on a regular paid order, the referral-code field exists and works — we cart-verified it on July 16, 2026, screenshot included in where to enter the code. The bonus: $40 outside Quebec, $25 in Quebec, paid out at the new member’s two-month anniversary (around the third bill), and the plan must cost at least $20/month before taxes and after discounts.

What’s not verified: does that field also appear when you convert a trial into a paid plan? We don’t know yet. No reliable source documents it, and we won’t claim it until we’ve seen it with our own eyes — our method is laid out in how we verify.

The safe route, in the meantime: if the referral bonus matters to you, don’t gamble on the conversion flow. Place a regular paid order — a plan of at least $20/month, built in the plan builder — and enter the code on this page in the field provided before submitting your order. The bonus is never retroactive: no field filled at checkout means no bonus, and customer support cannot add it afterwards. The full amount breakdown (and why two numbers circulate): $25 or $40 bonus.

Free trial vs. 15-day guarantee: two different safety nets

Fizz also offers a 15-day satisfaction guarantee on new paid plans. They’re two separate programs, and they stack in order:

• The free trial: before you pay anything. Second line, no payment, expires on its own.
• The satisfaction guarantee: after you subscribe, on your new paid plan.

In other words: test for free first, subscribe with the code if the network holds up, and the guarantee still covers the paid plan itself. It’s hard to be more cautious than that.

After the 15 days

Three possible outcomes:

1. Convinced: build your plan (at least $20/month if you want the bonus), enter the code on this page before submitting, then port your number. The full how-to: where to enter the code.
2. Not convinced: do nothing. The trial expires, your main line never moved, and nobody chases you with a bill.
3. On the fence: keep in mind that Fizz prices move at promo windows, but once activated your price is locked — the current lineup is in plans.

The free trial is the most honest way to pick a carrier: the network proves itself, at your place, with no salesperson in the loop. Use it before you port anything.
