Anyone have experience with Fizz mobile?
A friend of mine was hard hit with the recent 3G sunset on his
7-eleven Speakout account. He was using a 3G-capable phone for
that too - he just used it for texting so that was perfectly
fine.
The 7-eleven speakout plan offered a one-time low fee (not a
top-up) that could be used for up to a year. And each time
that was topped-up, the remaining balance simply rolled forward
and the "yearly" clock was reset for another 365 days.
Not a bad deal. Voice was like 35cents per minute, but text was
the primary use.
But Speakout is closing operations. So.. a scramble was
underway to find a good cheap alternative.
Fizz was one that he discovered. Minimum with no data, just
text = $12/mo. Still, at $144/yr that seems much, to me.
Anyway.. the Fizz site lists several "partner" outlets to
obtain a SIM card. Circle-K was the best partner for his area.
He spent time visiting the one in Gravenhurst (Ontario) today
(a 66km trip) ..but, no Fizz there! ..and then down to the
three listed in the area a bit further south at Hwy11 and Hwy12
- two of the three did not carry Fizz! He got the card at the
remaining one he checked.
