How To: Suspend your Freedom Service
Overview
We have a couple of options to suspend your service, depending on why you would like to suspend your service.
Vacation Pass
Vacation Pass allows you to temporarily pause your service for $15.00 per month (plus applicable tax) for up to 12 months per year!
To be eligible for the Vacation Pass you must:
be a Postpaid customer,
not have an active MyTab, and
your account must be in good standing i.e., not be suspended due to non-payment.
If you would like to add the Vacation Pass feature, contact Customer Care for more information, as additional Terms & Conditions may apply.
Voluntary Suspension
Have a lost or stolen device? You can temporarily suspend your service to avoid unauthorized usage.
Take the following steps to suspend your line through My Account:
Log into My Account
Navigate to the My Profile tab
Scroll down and select the option to Suspend your service.
Accept the term and conditions and click Suspend My Service to complete the process.
Important: While voluntary suspension ensures usage on your device is not available, you will continue to be responsible for your regular monthly invoice.

4. Unlimited Plans Data Policy
Freedom Mobile’s unlimited data plans include (depending on your selected plan) from 50GB to 100GB of full-speed data that can be used at 5G speeds on the Freedom network (where available) and at 4G speeds (up to 100 Mbps) on partner networks in Nationwide, the U.S., and Mexico (as applicable, see freedommobile.ca/plans for plan details). See freedommobile.ca/coverage for more information on Freedom’s coverage area. Once your full-speed allotment is depleted, you will continue to have access to data services, with no data overage fees, but at a slower speed – of up to 256 kilobits per second (for downloads) and 128 kilobits per second (for uploads) on the Freedom Network, and up to 128 kilobits per second (for downloads) and 64 kilobits per second (for uploads) on partner networks in Nationwide, the U.S., and Mexico (as applicable) – until the end of your current billing cycle. Applications such as web browsing, email, instant messaging, voice over IP services, or low-quality audio streaming will continue to work, but at a slower speed. Applications that normally require greater bandwidth, such as video streaming or peer-to-peer file sharing will also continue to work, but the slower speed may affect application performance. We will send you a text message notifying you when you have used 70% and 100% of the full-speed allotment included in your plan, at which point you may choose to purchase a data add-on to add more full-speed data to your plan. In all cases, usage is subject to the Freedom Mobile Terms of Service and Fair Usage Policy.
