Quebecor’s Freedom Mobile had extended its Boxing Week offers well into January, and now it looks like the company’s competitive wireless promo plans are here to stay.
The $34/50GB Canada-US plan, which is priced significantly lower than U.S. roaming plans from Rogers, Telus and Bell, has become a permanent plan according to an update to the Freedom Mobile website yesterday.
The following Boxing Week promo plans have now become “Featured Offers”:
These plans are all at 5G speeds (unless stated) and the prices shown are after Digital Discount and for bring your own device customers. The $34 and $40 plans are for 24 months after a $5/month bill credit. $29 per month for a Canada-US plan is quite aggressive, even at 4G speeds, which is more than fine considering 5G in Canada is pretty much overrated at this point.
Freedom is still showing its $55/60GB North America plan (CAN/US/MEX) and also its Roam Beyond plan at $65/60GB.
It looks like Freedom Mobile is making Canada-US a standard on its plans from $29/month. Will the flanker brands of Rogers, Telus and Bell ever match this lower price point? Fido, Virgin Plus and Koodo are touting are $39/10GB plans right now.
Thanks Kris

These plans make the $39 10 GB look like an insult.
They are. Especially when they were just offering $34 for 50GB weeks ago.
Can anyone shed some light on the quality of Freedom’s service? I live in downtown Vancouver and am considering them.
I have been with Freedom for a few years now and have been happy with the service. I am in Toronto and the coverage has never been an issue. I even changed my plan to the $34/50GB Canada-US during boxing week. We had gone to New York not that long ago and our cell phone service worked well over there too.
Freedom’s coverage is good and bad in Vancouver. They have coverage everywhere in downtown Vancouver but I will lose a signal while in the downtown Costco, deep inside certain buildings and in some areas along the upper levels highway in North Van. I’m on them right now but will contemplate a switch next Black Friday / Boxing week based on competition offers
Like, coverage is tolerable for the price
“Fido, Virgin Plus and Good are touting are $39/10GB plans right now.” should read “Fido, Virgin Plus and Koodo are touting $39/10GB plans right now.”
Whoops, thanks Joe! 🙂
Fido has just upped the data on their $39/mo plan: “20GB per month data bonus”, so 30Gb for BYOP new customers.
Thanks Joe, just shared and credited. Cheers
