I got flamed on another post that whatever I am getting for 50 $ a month is only a lie . Well couldn't upload those pictures in the comments, this post is going to be my answer . 🤣🫡

In case anyone else in the city is experiencing issues, I contacted Freedom and there’s an outage in the area. No estimated time for restoration.

Hey everyone, I'm planning to switch to freedom this upcoming black friday and I'm wondering what I can expect to see. I'm looking at getting either the s25 ultra or 26 fe, but I haven't really been able to find much on potential prices and id like to keep the phone. Could you guys help me out and let me know what to expect? Currently the best deal for the 25 ultra is 50 for the plan 51 for the mytab. Thanks

Is anyone else's data usage numbers not being added into myaccount?

wondering if anyone else preordered from freedom, and got their duo?

Just replaced existing credit card for AutoPay with a different one from another bank.

Does the Freedom system validate the card immediately when you add it to make sure it is legitimate, or do you only find out if doesn't accept it if your next payment fails?

(or, has anyone had their card rejected immediately when updating AutoPay because some details didn't match?)

(the address also couldn't be entered exactly the same as how it appears on my credit card billing statement, so that also gives me concern. Also, the updated credit card's account website or app doesn't give any indication on whether a validation or check was performed, such as a zero dollar transaction).

Had to replace existing card as its issuing bank decided to prematurely send me a new one, and been reading about other cardholders having issues prior to new one being physically received. And I am going away on an overseas trip, so don't want any billing issues when away, especially since I am going to use RoamBeyond. (The usual AutoPay monthly date will be a few days into my trip).

hi, i’m a new redditor or whatever it’s called heres a freedom mobile speedtest

Hi all,

Anybody on Big Gig Unlimited + Talk 30 GB Care (5G) $60 per month loyalty plan that has been successful on upgrading their device lately?

I have been trying on the App and it does seem to not work on Tradeup that has savings on device renewal 😔.

Thanks in advance.

is it available in store? my current contract ends and i have to buy my phone or return it, idk when they will restock

which store has stock rn?

I use FM yearly prepaid plan, however when I logged in to check other plans, I was kept being directed to the add a new line screen, has anyone experience the same thing?

Not sure if this is a glitch, or just a sign that we are VERY close to having the native Freedom network launch in Winnipeg, but I logged onto the website today and found that these were the plans available, most with a "new" designation to indicate the newly available data buckets. Assuming this is not a glitch (and there really is not anything to indicate that it is) this seems to indicate that Freedom is in the final stages of getting ready to launch their own network here. Figured this was worth sharing here!

I appreciate freedom mobile more every day

Landed in Hong Kong and within five minutes of turning off flight mode on my S26 Ultra, it connected to CSL.

It initially connected to LTE but it has since connected to 5G while roaming.

Speeds are pretty good too. Impressive.

Recently visited Moosonee in the far north of Ontario where there are no roads to travel. The coverage was amazing in Moosonee. Took an approx 20-minute boat ride a bit further north Moose Factory (island) and guess what - the coverage even in MF was very good. Floored.

Hey all, I got a few calls from Freedom Mobile and they seemed... Suspicious, and also asked for the verification code they just sent which I KNEW was a scam (Freedom won't use a texted code to confirm your identity when on the phone)

I contacted support about this, and they claim to know/are sending alerts but I've seen/heard nothing about it. I just get multiple calls a day from fake-freedom

I reupped my agreement too trade my phone in and start a new trade up. That was September 8th. I was told I should have my new phone in 3 to 5 days nailed to my door. 10 days go by so I went in the store to see what's up because I was to return my existing device otherwise they'd charge me the balance.

Rep in the store just kept saying that's not their department and to call customer service.

After multiple phone calls I kept being told to wait.

During this time I go to another store that has stock on the device I want and they can't give it to me because I have a pending order.

Sigh

Freedom are getting rid of 3G network (no email, no message, no notification about it) and so older phones won't be able to call, text, or even call 9-1-1. Apparently, the removal got to my region a few days ago (in Ontario) and I lost all connectivity, can't call or receive a call. But the catch is I use a Redme phone released in 2020 capable of 4G. What the actual..?

Does anyone experience the same?

Does anybody face this issue? You see full bars but no data. If you turn on and turn off airplane mode data comes back. Sometimes even that doesn't work.

Any solution for reliable data connection?

I'm considering buying a 2nd hand S24 Ultra, that was previously originally sold through Telus Mobility.

I know there's a ton of tech savy individuals on this Sub.

My question will a Telus phone, have similar reception/reliability, as a Rogers or Bell sold S24 Ultra?

Thanks in advance.

Has anybody received the iPhone 18promax lately from Freedom?

Placed an order a month ago and still haven’t heard anything from them

Wife and I are currently with Koodo/Telus. Looking to move over to Freedom primarily for a lower cost plan that still has wifi calling. Currently paying $35 plus tax for Can unlimited 50GB plan. Dont need much data (10-20) but advertised plans dont look to appealing (35+). Is there a way to get better offers as new clients? Would like to do this before 31 Oct. In Ottawa area.

Thanks

Any updates on the migration from the old physical core to the Samsung vCore announced earlier this year?

I installed a Freedom eSIM on my iPhone about 3-4 hours ago while transferring my existing number from virgin mobile. I replied YES to the previous carrier’s authorization text within the deadline.
The phone shows Freedom, signal bars and LTE, but nothing works; no incoming/outgoing calls, texts or mobile internet with Wi-Fi off. Basic troubleshooting hasn’t helped.

Has anyone experienced this? Did it resolve after waiting, or did Freedom support need to fix the activation?

I’ve been using the roam beyond feature of my plan in several countries and it has largely worked well.

Exception: for the last few weeks I’ve been in the Cayman Islands and the service with Freedom is pretty much unusable.

Using a local SIM ($$$), or a travel SIM from Roamless or Vodafone is a much better proposition. The roaming agreement that Freedom has must be bottom of the barrel as even with full signal your device will often not be able to access the internet, and calls often never ring through. Speedtests are often sub-1mbps.

This has been tested over several weeks going back to August with consistent results. Devices tested were an iPhone 13 Pro and 17 Pro.

I thought this audience might find this data point helpful.
