Porting Requirements (To Be Considered Before Porting Out Your Fizz Mobile Phone Number)



Before initiating the porting process, there are a few things you need to consider. Some of the important things to consider are explained in detail below:



1. The Number Must Be Portable



Firstly, it's crucial to confirm if your Fizz Mobile phone number is eligible for porting to KrispCall. KrispCall generally accepts the porting of all Fizz mobile phone numbers; however, to be safe, verifying portability before proceeding is a good idea.

You can conveniently check the portability of your Fizz Mobile number using our Number Porting Eligibility Checker tool. Simply enter your Fizz Mobile phone number and select the phone number type, then hit the Check Porting button. If your number is eligible, a confirmation message will appear.

2. The Number Must be Active



Additionally, ensure that your Fizz Mobile phone number is active. Inactive or suspended numbers cannot be ported, so it's essential to have an active number to initiate the porting process. Also, you shouldn’t cancel the current Fizz mobile phone plan until the porting process is completed.

3. Device Should Be Unlocked



You should also make sure your device is unlocked and compatible with KrispCall's network. If your device is locked to Fizz Mobile, contact them to request an unlock code before proceeding with porting.

4. Clear Outstanding Payments



Before initiating the porting process, you should also clear any outstanding payments or bills associated with your Fizz Mobile account. This includes settling any outstanding balances related to phone bills, call charges, devices, or contractual obligations.

5. Submission of Necessary Documents & Information



You'll need to prepare and submit some documents and information for the porting process. These documents include a Letter of Authorization (LOA), Customer Service Record (CSR), recent phone bill, and account number. Ensure that all submitted documents are current and accurate.

Information and Document Requirements (To be submitted to KrispCall)



Some documents and information you need to submit to KrispCall for porting Fizz's mobile phone number include the following;

1. Phone Numbers



You need to provide the phone number(s) you intend to port from Fizz to KrispCall. Ensure that this phone number is in correct format. A complete and correct Canadian phone number consists of 11 digits and looks like this: +1-XXX-XXX-XXXX.

Where,
+ 1 is the country code
The first 3 digits (XXX) is the area code
The remaining digits (XXX-XXXX) are the remaining phone number.

2. Letter of Authorization (LOA)


You must also submit a signed Letter of Authorization (LOA) dated within the last 30 days. LOA verifies your ownership of the number and authorizes KrispCall to execute the porting process on your behalf.

While issuing the LOA, make sure the name and address on the LOA match those on your Fizz account and that it contains all porting numbers.

Follow this instructions to fill out the LOA form:

3. Customer Service Record (CSR)



While not mandatory, submitting a Customer Service Record (CSR) can speed up the porting process. The CSR provides overall account information, including your address, phone number, and billing details, held by Fizz.

4. Most Recent Phone Bill



You should also provide KrispCall with the most recent phone bill (dated within 30 days). This bill is an additional means of verifying your account information. If you have questions about what information to include on bills, you can contact our support team by live chat, phone, or email.

5. Account Number



The last information you need to provide to KrispCall is the account number associated with the Fizz mobile phone number. To get your account number, go to “My Plan” and then click on the “Manage” option. Under your telephone number, you'll find your 8-digit account ID, starting with 2 or 3.

If you are still unsure how to obtain these, follow our instructions or contact Fizz directly.
