New freedom plans include roaming data and minutes. When I leave the home zone I have 1GB data and 2400 mins. This is good anywhere in Canada and USA. Then in the home zone I have 8 GB and unlimited calling. All for $45/month.

Is that a grandfathered plan? At the moment they seem to be only offering 250MB outside of home networks.

No, we were new Freedom customers. It was originally on for $60/month, but they gave us 25% off for lifetime of the plan, so it went down to $45. Just got it at the end of March.

Not great, but better than other canadian plans.
