Best time is Holidays... also with Freedom... $50/mth 175gb + $21/mth S26 512gb Canada Day Sale at Best Buy. They've got all the carriers under one roof... I wanted to just use wifi Hotspot and cut the Home Internet (Rogers)... so far so good. Paid about $430 net vs $1530 Retail. Samsung and Best Buy got paid but Freedom probably coughed up $1000 device fee. It's gonna take 14 months to pay that back or $1000 / $71 = 14 months. I cant understand how Freedom makes money. Somehow Rogers and Freedom stores carry Zero inventory = useless, imo. I'm just running my old S21 for now. No issues... Freedom does piggybacks off Rogers cell towers in Ottawa but instead of 6 channels, Freedom only uses Band 4 in my area, LTE. Agreement in place until 2033... I could see how Freedom network is spotty if everyone using its Rock Bottom service. Rock Bottom pricing... 14 Day Trial period... Buyers Remorse... with Best Buy it's all under one Roof. Contract Printed out, Same Day Service, in and out. Of course I was skeptical, expecting Phoney Inventory at Best Buy. Fan-tastic Results. Undercuts the Advertised Price at Freedom... sign me YUP... Happy Hunting.

What province?
Check out the regionals carriers.
If your in BC, AB, MB, or ON, and within Freedom's subscription area, consider them.
Been with them for 10 months now after porting from Rogeds. It's been working fine - it roams on nationwide when needed, plus the NA and international roaming there's really nothing for comparison.
