Hi. Thanks for your suggestion of creating a new page for Canadian Provinces and their offers. But I will not do that. Let me tell you why. Vidéotron is a network provider in Quebec and Eastern Ontario. In 2010 they've started a 3G network there and from 2014 they partnered up with Rogers for nationwide roaming and the deployment of a regional LTE network.

We haven't mentioned Vidéotron so far as they don't sell prepaid options, only postpaid contracts (forfaits) linked to a Canadian bank account or credit card. Now at the end of 2018 they've launched fizz as a MVNO or rather subsidiary on their network (with free roaming on Rogers). Their plans are only sold in the subscription area, only offline through the internet, delivered by mail to an address within the subscription area and need to be linked to a credit card from where the monthly charge is debited.

This is a combination which is very unappealing to foreign visitors. You need to have a postal address in Quebec or E.Ontario for delivery and a credit card to link. Unfortunately, Canadian providers are very rigid and tend to accept only Canada- (and sometimes US-) issued credit cards and from nowhere else. The same policy applies to Vidéotron and fizz suggest the same: =What payment methods can I use?= You can use Credit Card Visa or Mastercard, or Visa Debit to pay for your Fizz plan(s).

The address and postal code that you associate with your credit card must be the same as the one you declare to your bank, otherwise payment method will be rejected.

The catch is that most overseas credit cards don't have a postal code associated with it and don't work with any of the Canadian providers. So it's very unlikely that they can be linked to fizz.

When there is a good regional offer available we can add it and we can say some words about Vidéotron. But our site is prepaid only, available to foreigners. This is a prerequiste. We made an exception for Public Mobile without own stores, but can't do that for an regional provider without vouchers and no other way to top-up, but a Canada-issued credit card. I hope ypu understand that we need to draw a line here.
