[Freedom Mobile] Brand new freedom plans offering - Page 50 - RedFlagDeals.com Forums (2024)

Ended up making the switch from Telus.

15 minutes in and out of the store. One activation fee waived, one paid.

Now saving over $100/m compared to Telus, have a better plan, and I actually have better service thanks to national roaming.

Automatic upvote everytime I see this.

Wondering if that is safer than porting in a number right away.

I did it this way so I could also test out the network. I was pretty sure it was gonna be fine and it was.

The only part was not knowing when the port was gonna go through or if it worked when calling in

EDIT: In my case, I want to switch to the 75+10 GB plan for $45.

I too want the updated plan + keep my bonuses which would be insane but after lots of attempts it’s a no go. Can’t find a rep that can keep the promos intact.

Maybe related? - Max of five lines per account without being checked out. Any above that has to be in person so they can see ID.

I’m on 7 lines one account postpaid but 6 and above had to be added in person. This worked out for me because last port in I was able to add the 1000 minutes international promo which can only be done in store.

I only have 2 lines on the account, and couldn't get new phones on the account. Can only add more byod plans.

Weird. Check with rep what tab amount you have allocated to your account.

I guess I signed up for postpaid online; therefore, they haven't verified my ID yet by going into a store. Therefore, I might be barred from getting a phone financed on the account.

After I posted last night, I was able to find a rep willing to help, so I now have the $45 plan (after the two $5 discounts), with my 32 GB of Nationwide data + what remains of my one-time 1 GB Roam Beyond gift left intact.

I'm happy about that, but I think maybe I should have switched to the $35 plan without Roam Beyond. Realistically, I don't travel often enough that it makes sense. I have travelled quite a bit in the past month + the beginning of the year, but that's pretty anomalous.

Hopefully, I can find someone who's willing to allow me to change it to that, despite the rule of "one change per month / per three months." Maybe the fact that I did it in the past 12 hours might help my case.

I was in this situation. I figured the $10 extra a month wasn't worth it for the one or two times I travel outside NA a year. I'll just continue to get an eSIM for those times.

For us we were on the older plan plus Apple Watch plus VVM. It was a no brainer to move to the $55 plan for more everything and ‘free’ tablet sim. VVM is included. We do quite a bit of travelling. Happy with setup we have now. It’s nice to also be able to HUP in the future. Hopefully there will be some stonking deals coming up.

Meaning you had gotten the $45 plan, but was able to switch to the $35 plan soon after?

No sorry just when I was mulling over options I was torn between the two. Just went with the 35 one right away. I bet you'll be okay next month that the plan will still be around

Yes...or CNE deals.
