2 Years with Freedom Mobile: My Honest Review

A couple of years ago I picked up the iPhone XR on contract with Freedom Mobile. Well, the contract is expiring in 3 months, which means I am almost two years in.

Will I be renewing my plan with Freedom as I look to upgrade my phone this fall? Or will I be ditching Freedom and going a different direction?

I been with Freedom since wind days 2011 I am Grand Fathered Plan 29.00 A month Never had a major Problem A+

[PapillonBleuMagnifique]

I just (Jan 2021) moved from Freedom Mobile to Bell. I had the service activated with Freedom back in January 2019 and the contract expired this year. I had nothing but problems with the service. However, in all fairness, I have to say that the area I live in and my office being mainly in the basement created the problems. I cancelled with them and took out a no commitment, bring your own phone plan with Bell. Will try that for 2 months and if I experience the same problems I did with Bell that I did with Freedom then I am moving back to Freedom or moving my office to the ground floor of my residence.

Freedom has unlimited roaming data - dunno what plans you were on, but things are definitely better now

[adsim]

Good for the cities but not good for rural residents or people who go out of town for awhile. If you use 50% of your usage (calls text data) inside nationwide for three consecutive months they cancelled your number, even if you prepay, and you wont get a refund. so if 50% or more of your usage is in nationwide for three straight months, even if it's only 10 min of talking each month and you prepaid for the year, they will cancel your number. So don't go camping or out of the "freedom" zone for three months, even if you paid for a year already, it will be cancelled even if you only use 1 min of talking. According to their "fair use" policy (not the fair use policy, their own made up one to use misleading terms, just like "freedomzone" and "nationwide" which mean the opposite when they use them.) if 50% of your total used talk, text, data is in a nationwide zone for three consecutive months the number gets cancelled, no refunds. So you'll be stuck in the cities of concrete prisons in little boxes stacked on boxes confined to the "freedom" zone if you have a plan with them.

Well I have Fido rn but it’s only unlimited texting/calling and it costs more then what I’ll get for freedom and freedoms offering a way better plan

[hermes]

Looks like my choices are between Freedom and Public Mobile. But it seems that neither offer roaming and/or holiday hold - crucial for this snowbird who spends half the year in Asia.

If you are using prepaid service with Freedom mobile, dont ever make a mistake of using automatic payments on your credit card you will be billed continuously even after you cancelled it.

[KINGMXL]

60$/month
25GB North American calling global texting
And US roaming with/1GB unlimited data

Soild service! been with freedom since 2014

[Ratridez]

Worst cell coverage ever, many dropped calls, they suck, just waiting for my contract to expire

[daniel_yuen]

Wonder what’s going to happen to Freedom, when Rogers’ Shaw acquisition gets approved?

[tony]

Calls on 3G and LTE are both as good,

[snorlaxgod]

Haha, you guys are lucky, I dont even get service from my freedom network even at home

[lukeparaskevopoulos]

Freedom needs to upgrade before I even consider I was with them years ago talking about like 8 years I recently tried there network out again like 2 years ago just to see if much changed like 8 years but sadly no nothing has changed it’s the exact same bad service considering the automatic pay that never happened even back then
Downside I’ll be long gone dead before freedom actually does anything worth wild with there service

[Khell]

They have a promo right not with 10gb bonus. I asked multiple customer reps it is "permanent" they said . However i have yet to find out after 24 months . Can you verify?..

[saraali-wrds]

I live in Windsor I have the same issue I don’t hear clear or the person I’m talking to does not hear what I’m saying I have to repeat couple times to be clear

[Michael-uojj]

i pay 62.50 for a free phone velvet 5G no down payment and 20 GB of data it can't be beat I pay 129.50 both get 3GB for 3 phones if I was with bell it would be $160 for 1 phone and 25GB

[begley]

I was looking at joining but then I saw their speeds in non hot spots and oh my, 250 ish kb/s download speeds just do not fly.

[costylezz]

I knew some people years ago who had wind/freedom but eventually switched. While their prices are good, I think the best value right now is Fido/Virgin/Koodo. They have decent prices because they don't offer 5g data. 4g lte is still pretty good and most people would probably be fine with it.

Freedom has no freedom outside of my city of London On. it use too but no more.
