Freedom Mobile Expands Apple Watch Plans Nationwide with Extra Data
Quebecor’s Freedom Mobile has expanded its Apple Watch plan to now make it available nationwide, plus ramping up the data allotment.
Freedom Mobile has been texting customers according to iPhone in Canada readers, saying they “continue to make good on our promise to improve your service.”
The company has also increased the 1GB of Freedom data to 5GB, a free upgrade that also applies retroactively to all customers, including those on legacy $5/month Apple Watch plans.
Freedom’s Apple Watch plan costs $10 per month and includes 5GB of data, on top of your cellphone plan. Compared to Rogers, Telus and Bell Apple Watch plans? The ‘Big 3’ charges $15 per month.
Back in June 2020, Freedom Mobile first launched Apple Watch plans at $10/month with 1GB of data and the first three months free, for customers on a postpaid wireless plan.
Did you see your Apple Watch plan on Freedom Mobile get upgraded as well?
Thanks Brian

This is the latest from Freedom on the Apple Watch situation:
“Freedom Mobile Apple Watch Update: thank you for being a valued Freedom Mobile customer. On April 18th, we sent an SMS letting you know your Apple Watch plan may be used on the Nationwide network. Unfortunately, due to a temporary technical constraint, you will need to continue connecting your Watch to your iPhone via Bluetooth in order to use data and text on the Nationwide network.
The good news is you can continue to use data and text from your Apple Watch plan on the Freedom network, and voice on both the Freedom & Nationwide networks without the watch being connected to your iPhone.
We deeply regret any inconvenience caused while a solution is being developed. We’ll notify you as soon as all of your Apple Watch plan services are available for use without your iPhone on the Nationwide network. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the additional data we added to your Watch plan at no extra cost, bringing your total to 5GB”
Extra data on the Apple Watch plans is borderline useless.
