I checked is the link. It shows $18 extra monthly for the phone itself. So is the final price include the phone $50$, $65, or $78?
How’s their network quality? Anyone has experience?
What is FNF code?

Big YMMV given how poor Freedom's signal strength is. Even Shaw admits it - Shaw doesn't bundle Freedom to their business customers because they are afraid the customers will leave because of the subpar mobile reception.

20 GB is great, but it doesn't really matter if you can't use it.

I suggest getting an el cheapo plan to test out your area before committing.

I am a current Freedom user (been with them for 6 years) but I am on a old plan with 6gb of data, unlimited calling, 2000mins for roaming talk in the US and pay all in $30 a month with all my discounts.

If I had to pay anymore then what I am paying now I would drop them so fast, I have lots of dead spots in my house and most of the time data is quite slow. If it was not a buck a day for all what I am getting totally not worth it.

I could never imagine paying $65/month for a freedom plan, I think $40 would be max I would be willing to pay and then maybe not even as there are other options like public mobile.

Personally I think there plans are getting worse all the time, they trying to give you more data and stuff but their network is not there and the coverage to be honest has not improved that vastly in the 6 years I been with them and I am in Metro Vancouver.

I've been with freedom for a few years now. Reception is great to spotty in certain areas of Calgary. Thankfully I have no friends and rarely ever leave Calgary so freedom is a no brainer for their price point.

Does anyone have feedback regarding Freedom in the Victoria area. I don't think the pricepoint is going to beat what I can get with other paygo plans for the minimal data requirements I have for various family members. However, it would be good to know if there are any reception concerns in Victoria should it financially make sense.

Dead spots in your house? You really should be using WiFi calling. I see your plan is old so your device might be older than 2 years and might not support VoWiFi. But if it does then there's no reason not to.
Freedom isn't for everyone, but if you happen to live in a place with great network connection outside your home and you've got a phone from Freedom that supports WiFi calling, then you can get the best Freedom has to offer.

hmm, I have the moto 6 (not the plus) international version, I am not sure if it supports VoWiFi or not. I will look into that as that might help out around my house.

My 2 year contract with freedom just expired this month and the improvements freedom mobile made in the last 2 years is immense (greater Vancouver area). Is freedom on par with the big 3? Not a chance, is it worth saving 20 to 30 dollars per line? For me, without doubt, absolutely. If I'm frequenting suburban, not metropolitan area, would I get freedom? Absolutely NOT, so only get it if you don't plan using outside of major metropolitan area and even then, check with your fellow RFDers

OP is just conveying the deal he found (not forcing any one to go and get it), Why Downvote???
You're paying 65$ including a phone released in April 2020 worth $600 which leaves you basically $40/mo for plan, either way no body is going to sell you this phone cheaply ( 3 mo. old Apple Phone),
sure freedom network has drawbacks, but every network has flaws, i have Rogers, Telus and Freedom (for kids), can tell you no network is perfect

While the phone itself does support WiFi calling, you will not be able to use this feature on Freedom mobile as this is the international version. Canadian carriers do not allow Android phones bought from outside their network to access WiFi calling.
If you had an iPhone on the other hand...

Well then I stand what I said with freedom mobile. I think anything over $40 month for my plan would bee too much and like I said the newer plans don't seem to be as good anymore so that is why if they mess with my plan then I am gone.

I am not going to buy a phone from them when I can get good used ones from ebay that can do the job for alot cheaper and not locked into a contract just to get all the features to try to fill in the gaps for a shitty network.

Like I said I been with them for 6 years, for the amount of money I pay for my plan I am fine with the service as the number 1 thing for me was price.

Other people may find they are getting great value at $65/month and that is great but for me it is not.

If you live in Vancouver, I would avoid Freedom because their reception is horrible. Doesn't matter if you have 20gbs when you can't even use it.

Yep not only are their plans getting worst they also changed how 35% fnf codes would be ineligible for plan changes without losing the 35% discount & getting a 15$ discount.
