I'm moving to freedom

No more loyalty pricing on the $15 plan makes it kind of terrible (250mb/100min). I'm going to go to freedom on their annual prepaid plan. What fees should I expect?

I might start a new number.

One more update. If you purchase a prepaid plan online the set up fee is just the sim card, so $10. Total cost of ownership after 3 years would be ~$412.

I've run into a snag that I'll need to think about since I sometimes need to make and receive US calls. I haven't found another provider who offers one time, rollover US calling add ons. Seems that Public is not actually out of place offering a rewards type program.

Tempting to go with the monthly if they have a $5 discount. I already don't use my credit card 'rewards' and I don't want another system like that.

I'm looking at about $230 in savings over 3 years if I switch to the annual prepaid, + a referral fee. I will be getting a new number and someone said I might be able to get a free sim from Best Buy mobile kiosk.

My friend is in the freedom annual plan. He likes it. Just mage sure the places you go to have enough coverage for you.

You can port your number out to Freedom and plans start at $19/month at 4G/LTE but there is a $5 credit if on AutoPay and no perks like the $15 on the Points Rewards.

PM have more towers on Telus and Bell network with fewer dead zones.
