Last year Freedom Mobile offered up an annual prepaid plan at $99 with 50GB of data.
This plan did not include nationwide data access, but now that the company is owned by Quebecor’s Videotron, a free upgrade was sent out today to most of these existing customers.
A text message explained, “Freedom Mobile Special Gift: Happy Holidays! As our way of saying thank you for being a Freedom Mobile customer, we’ve upgraded you to nationwide talk & text & data, at no additional cost to you! This means your plan now gives you access to calls & texts & data on the nationwide network across Canada.”
Freedom says, “There’s nothing you have to do, this upgrade has been automatically applied to your line and you will continue to keep it as long as you keep your current plan.”
For wireless users that don’t use their phones often, this $99 annual plan works out to $8.25 per month with just over 4GB data per month if divided equally, notes RFD users.
During this year’s Black Friday deals, Freedom offered up a $149 annual prepaid plan with 20GB of 4G LTE data, which was not as cheap as last year’s discount.
Freedom Mobile is also offering up a $34/30GB Canada-US plan right now that has yet to be matched by flanker brands of Rogers, Telus and Bell.
