Freedom Mobile shakes up its high-end plans and BYOD perks
Freedom Mobile has adjusted its lineup for top-tier plans. The carrier has pulled back the back-to-school pricing that used to add value. Between June 12 and July 24, the BYOD discount disappeared for many customers. These moves show Freedom shifting focus to simpler options and clear price points.
What changed for those who pay more for data
The upper bands now offer less data than they did before. That means the premium lines aren’t as rich in data as they once were. The shifts come after the carrier also trimmed the extra BYOD savings. In short, the latest options prioritize straightforward limits over extra savings.
The current lineup and the best value for most users
The new plans are listed, but most readers will still favor the $39 plan with 60GB. That option remains a strong balance of data and price. It also includes free roaming across North America. Freedom’s roaming perk stays the same, which helps many families and workers stay online on the road. Expect little change to this plan until big sales come around.
History, rumors, and what might come this fall
Last Black Friday brought sharp deals. The best offers were $29 for 10GB and $35 for 50GB. This year, there’s talk Freedom might lift the data on the $39 plan to around 75GB. It’s unlikely the price will drop soon. The prize would be more data without an extra cost, but a price cut seems unlikely. Shoppers should not count on big surprises at any moment. Instead, they should watch for limited-time promos as the year winds down.
A new 250GB option and perks for the big spenders
Today, Freedom added a new $79 plan that includes 250GB of data. That plan targets users who need lots of space without juggling caps. If you opt for the higher-end tiers, you can score a free tablet or a smartwatch plan. These freebies are a nice perk for buyers who already pay more each month. In many other carriers, similar devices would cost more in a bundled plan. Freedom puts them in the mix as part of the premium package.
What this means for bargain hunters and data lovers
For most people, the $39/60GB option remains the sweet spot. It offers ample data and roaming without extra fees. If you crave large data chunks, the $79/250GB plan stands out, especially with the bonus device options. The new structure makes it easier to compare plans at a glance. You won’t need to juggle many add-ons to reach a fair total.
Compare what you actually use each month. If you rarely hit 60GB, the older tiers with smaller data may still fit your needs. Check roaming terms and any limits tied to the plan you pick. Be mindful of any hidden costs that can creep in with premium tiers. If you’re a BYOD customer, review how the loss of the BYOD discount affects your budget. Promotions can appear suddenly, so keep an eye on new offers.
Putting it all together for your next move
Freedom’s price shifts make sense for shoppers who want clarity. The core value remains in the solid 60GB option with roaming. The new 250GB plan offers a generous data reserve for heavy users. For those who want a top plan plus a free device, the higher plan could be worth it.
