Freedom Mobile Cuts Domestic Data on Several Plans

Overview

• Freedom updated its public plan listings on July 9 to reduce domestic data on multiple tiers, including the $35 plan now at 10GB, the $40 plan at 70GB, the $50 plan at 150GB, and the $60 plan at 200GB while the $45/100GB plan stayed the same.
• The carrier kept monthly prices unchanged and left Roam Beyond roaming allowances intact, so travel data levels were not reduced even as home-country allotments were trimmed.
• Freedom revised plan wording by removing references to “bonus data” and adding or changing limited-time and expiry labels, effectively folding previous bonus amounts into base plan totals.
• A customer-circulated survey asking whether subscribers would pay extra for basic account security added to customer scrutiny and online discussion about the company’s approach to optional paid services.
• The changes come in the context of tight Canadian competition and the summer promotional calendar, so further temporary offers or back-to-school adjustments are likely and customers should compare current plan details before switching.
