They are only offering a $100 discount on the S20+ 5G so I got it from Samsung with their 25% off office bundle deal. It is typically better to buy your own unlocked phone and just pop in your nano sim, no need to contact them.ECBomb wrote: ↑ Transitioned to Freedom Mobile as my main line since August 2018. The network is much more reliable now. Sure, there are still spotty areas but it's vastly improved since its early days. This is for the Greater Vancouver Area.
The three things that make me stay with Freedom are:
1) The network is reliable enough as a main line.
2) We should support the smaller players so there's more competition. I know Shaw wants to be part of a Big 4, but at least they're a completely different company, whereas all the "competition" like Fido, Koodo, Virgin are all still the same brands.
3) You're grandfathered into their plans for as long as your account is active. All these Robelus "deals" never remain the same price. They'll tack on another $5, another $10 there, etc. With my $60 plan (with 35% F&F discount), I'm getting complete North American coverage. They'll likely encourage me to go with an in market plan, or change the hardware upgrade rules so that I won't qualify, but based on their track record, I'll likely keep my plan for as long as I want. I'll either buy unlocked phones or suck it up and follow whatever policy at the time when I am eligible for a hardware upgrade.
Freedom works for many but if it doesn't, you're free to go with another company.
The phone is also a factor; my Nexus 5 would jump between 3G and 4G where as my Axon 7 would jump between 4G and LTE but never go down to 3G.Hamtori223145 wrote: ↑ I am in western canada and its not as bad as ppl make it out to be. I usually get LTE but it does sometimes move over to 3g. I always have service caz of roaming. However seems like the big 3 is matching freedom's plans so I would prob go with big 3 after my contract.
Similar for me. I have dual sim phone. PublicMobile was low to no bars depending on location in building. Freedom at worst had two bars, most of the time it was four bars.
