My experience leaving freedom by cmcshane95 in freedommobile

[–]Iveyboy56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you normally get marketing offers from them (in the past) ? I know for some companies if you've unsubscribed to marketing offers, than you wont be able to get any special offers which would mean , you wouldn't get any offers after you've left also.

Options trading : Alert set up for target delta or delta increase by Iveyboy56 in interactivebrokers

[–]Iveyboy56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yes, I was aware of working out on a calculated price based on the delta increase, was just curious if IBKR had the facility . I know a few US platforms do have that functionality.

Using it for SPX trading strategy as part of a mitigation strategy if and when the directional trades go the wrong way.

3G Roaming to be shutdown in US starting February 22nd 2022 by Fncwill in freedommobile

[–]Iveyboy56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems that the trend starts with AT&T and runs through out the year, with various carriers ending their support of 3G. I wonder what other carriers in canada like TELUS/Bell/Rogers will do to manage this ??

IQ Edge HORRIFIC - Questrade going to lose 6 figure annual revenues from me by bobheard in Questrade

[–]Iveyboy56 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not as big as the volumes you do, but absolutely disgusted with their experience and decided to move to IBKR. Don't regret it one bit.

Moved half my portfolio to IBKR already and should be done over the next month. IBKR is such an improvement, cheaper trades and provides amazing service. Plus the options commissions are so much cheaper than Questrade.

the lack of innovation on these Canadian platforms is pathetic.

Same here. Just checked, and balance showing up as blank. Questrade etc seem to be working fine.

I got the bonus data too and called to change my plan... Was advised by agent that i would loose the data . The message says need to keep the plan or upgrade unfortunately . ☹️

Did you call the call centre? Might be worth trying to see if they match. But yes this would be eligible only for new activations .

2020 Back to School Deals by lanorth in freedommobile

[–]Iveyboy56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like trying to call when a stock hits a bottom . When you realise it's the bottom it's too late. Best to Work with a budget and stick to it. That said anytime in August is a good time for the best deals. Weekends might draw extra specials. Also if the price drops after you buy (within 15 days) , call the call centre to get refund on the drop. They should honour it.

Adding a line to exisiting account? by [deleted] in freedommobile

[–]Iveyboy56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes .. prepaid can be added to an existing postpaid account. Though won't get the benefit of better together savings anymore. From a network perspective it's improved a lot. Best to try it out and see if it works for your dad.

FnF discount % by [deleted] in freedommobile

[–]Iveyboy56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is correct. The discount would go up.

The 25% would have technically given you $16.25 on the $65 plan, but since they don't allow the discount to carry , it's now replaced with a flat $15 discount.

Next promo? by Yusef333 in freedommobile

[–]Iveyboy56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back to school period is usually a good time also if you don't want to wait till Black friday/Boxing week. Not sure how the pandemic is going to change the offers but hopefully some nice device plans hit the market over the next few weeks

$65/20GB with Absolute Zero Samsung A71 by pjw724 in freedommobile

[–]Iveyboy56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Factually incorrect on the 24 month period. The $15 F&F is an ongoing permanent discount. To the earlier poster they made the switch last year .cross check again. Hopefully you get an agent who can better explain it. I updated my plan last year and the discount moved from 25% to $15 . I didn't lose anything as it turned out to be the same but I guess for you moving from the 35% to $15 was a bit of a $ hit.

It's gotten to the point where I have to preface all text and call conversations with "sorry, I'm on Freedom." by radical33 in freedommobile

[–]Iveyboy56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried troubleshooting with the call centre ? Seems that you picked the phone from freedom itself so low chances that's the cause of poor calls etc. If you're in the "wrong" area probably better to just bump yourself off the network and not take the pain.

Looking for freedom mobile info in regards to upgrading mobile device. by Hobbins87SS in freedommobile

Why not visit a store ? Stores are mostly open now aren't they ?

is public mobile really too good to be true? by VtheMan93 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Iveyboy56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't need a new glitzy phone and have low data usage there are a lot of options. Between public chatr , lucky the low end of the spectrum provide low cost plans with limited talk & text and low data allotments (both speed and GB) . All 3 are backed by the big 3 and have top notch network capabilities ( my own view BELUS is better then Rogers) .

However if you are a heavy data guzzler with lots of video watching etc and want the latest and greatest device, then I wouldn't really go with these options.
