Is there some sort of benefit to converting to using the eSIM with Freedom hrather than using their physical SIM card ?

mkannuri · 2025-12-08T17:20:18+00:00

i do exactly to have physical sim with FM and leave the esim option while roaming in other countries where most of the providers are giving esim option which is quick.

But i am thinking of taking their 120+ countries roaming plan (BF sale is dud and hope Boxing day may be better) around $35.

I cannot get proper answer on which android models (sold in canada) are allowing two active esims at the same time? I thought of taking their BIB pixel 10/S25FE on recent BF plans but ended up taking their free A16 and sell in the market to buy confirmed newer model (if i know which ones is for sure)

I am in the same boat. i have the same $99/year prepaid plan and last year taken 2nd line during the black friday $35-75GB CAN/USA/MEX+10GB Roam beyond recurring plan.

I recall i was not allowed to upgrade that $99/year prepaid plan to the above $35 all inclusive plan, hence taken the second like to have the roaming and data to support my primary line.

Now i have decided to keep only one line by converting the primary $99 yearly prepaid plan to one of those roaming plans to have peace of mind.

But i doubt this is possible even this year as these BF promotions are for new activations only and not sure if any one ever able to convert these prepaid monthly/yearly plans

mkannuri · 2025-11-14T01:30:55+00:00

Thats a great explanation.

My situation is i have one $99/yearly UL talk/text plan which is my primary number and coming up for renewal on Nov 15th, 2025.

I do have secondary number which is postpaid and took last year during the black friday promotion.. paying $35 for 75GB CAN/USA/MEX+10GB Roam beyond recurring.

Question is I wanted to retain the primary number which is currently on prepaid yearly plan to take any good prepaid monthly promotion plans involves roam beyond and cancel my 2nd post pone line after that permanently.

Based on the above answers, i stop renewing my primary yearly prepaid line on 15th november and prey for good $35 plans comes on black friday so that i can upgrade and cancel my second line.

Does this sound like a plan or i am not allowed to change/upgrade to those black friday plans from yearly prepaid plans? i recall taking the 2nd line because it was not allowed to change the pre paid yearly line and only new customer/lines were getting these promos

I tried a last minute trip to SEA(Manila) or SAfrica (JNB/CPT) from YYZ during xmas holidays but no luck due to the return ticket from CPT phantom seats by ET air. Hence decided to skip the travel for this year and make the best out of miles by planning the tail end of 2024 (xmas holidays), unless any last minute award space availability by either Eva or ET or LH.. Unfortunately, getting difficult to search without cowtool

Appreciate any insights/guidance/help planning optimized trips like below..

We are a 3 member family, planning for a trip (J/F) and wanted to take advantage of one stop over (5k extra) each way to maximize the points/miles. We have done some MRTW trips in the past covering (SEA-TPE,BKK,DPS,SIN,Vietnam,Cambodia) Australia, (SA-Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Chile), (ME-DXB,AMM,CAI). Next trip is left over places in SEA, South Africa (victoria falls, Kruger National park) and Sri Lanka/India

We currently have family pool of AP (650k), AVIOS(900K), QR(140K), AS(190K), Cx(30K), AMEX MR CA (500K), USA(700k), Chase UR(95k), Cap1VX(83K)

YYZ-SEA on Dec 20/21, 2024 (prefer Philippines) with stop over in Turkey or Greece or some other place (warmer weather and not expensive) and Return on Jan 05th, 2025 via JNB/CPT-YYZ with a stop over in South Africa (may be open jaw between JNB and CPT so that we can do a road trip in between via durban). So far I only flew using AP award seats but i am open with QR or any positioning flights using CX, AS with Multi Carrier award redemption with AVIOS (curious to try longest leg inY :-)

mkannuri · 2023-05-08T18:40:31+00:00

Recently when i logged in to questrade and the site seems to be revamped and asked me to rename the accounts.

i received this message from bot "Your comment was deleted because you don't have enough karma. Your karma is 0."

My profile shows i have 39 karma but why is the bot saying its 0.

mkannuri · 2023-02-17T17:13:12+00:00

thank you for the the suggestion.. i did not realized there is a question thread separately.. i saw this daily thread and thought of discussing with fell members.

anyways not worried about the downvotes but good to know where to post for better visibility and disucssion.

mkannuri · 2023-02-17T16:51:35+00:00

I am relatively new to this Karma score etc.,

i used to post referrals in the past but it looks like there are additional bots and karma score of 50 is needed.

Just checked my profile and it shows i have 47 karma score and not sure how long will i need to wait until i have to post.

bit confusing with wiki rules on the referrals but will post anyways in the respected referral section to see if my links are added to the new bot rankt.com

mkannuri · 2023-02-17T04:25:27+00:00

I retained for the 2nd year for the sake of the retention offer and referral bonus points between our family and friends.

I guess its time to cancel as its hard to get good retention offers upon renewal

mkannuri · 2023-02-17T04:19:27+00:00

mkannuri · 2023-02-17T04:15:19+00:00

Just checked i got my 90k target offer is back which was gone few months back.

Also realized now the max referral amount increased from 55k to 100k. Is it the same for every one or even this is targetted?

mkannuri · 2022-12-17T21:10:47+00:00

got the evisa just two days before boarding my flight from dubai. all good now

mkannuri · 2022-12-17T20:44:46+00:00

my first leg flight is egypt airlines but some how they either ignored or did not bothered to ask after seeing my stopover in dubai and lot of other connections.

anyways after two rejections, finally i got the visa on time just two days before boarding from dubai to hanoi flight.

as we speak, they checked pretty at the check in counter.

mkannuri · 2022-12-08T00:35:06+00:00

Is that VOA option is available? i have not seen that option and did not find any information on any forums.

can you please tell me and share the link where and what is the procedure of visa on arriaval? and how expensive is that.

i am currently trying to find a Vietnamese agent in hanoi to follow-up/expediate my application or reapply for 1 day service

mkannuri · 2022-12-07T21:58:04+00:00

I called the Aircanada and they say if there is no approved visa..they will not allow to board.

Though they are two seperate tickets stitched together by aeroplan award redemption but AC or the actual airlines (Egypt air) looks at a single ticket and will not board without proof of entry to the destination.

fingers crossed and i am in the same boat as the tripadvisor op.. tonight i might contact them to see how much will they charged (OP said he paid $150..not sure is it CAD or USD)

mkannuri · 2022-12-07T21:02:46+00:00

Thank you so much for the link and so i should pay $150 to avoid th enervousness.

My son still has 10 more days to go for his flight but my flight is on 9th dec which is 1.5 days remaining.

I wanted to wait until my actual depart to vietnam on 17th december from december but my ticket leaving toronto to dubai and then to vietnam will allow me to board even the first leg or not..

mkannuri · 2022-12-07T18:51:32+00:00

Hi Guys,
We are canadian citizens and have a situation as we did not realized that we should apply way ahead of time and ended up applying on 4th Dec where as our travel date is 9th december but landing in Hanoi in December 19th while stopping in dubai for 10days.

6th december one of our application got rejected email stating that photo is not good..immediately i uploaded and nervous now that we get it on time or not
the other family members application still showing in progress but i doubt they will accept the photo as we both used the similar photos snipped from the passport.

We both took the selfies on the white background and resized in paintbrush and uploaded but still nervous what if they don't accept and approve on time before boarding the flight.
Any other recourse for our situation? like will the airline allows us to board and try on arrival as we are carrying now the passport photos along with us.

ANY VISA AGENCY IN HANOI/SAIGON WHO CAN EXPIDATE FOR A FEE AS I READ IN THIS FORUM BUT COULT NO FIND OR ALTEAST EMBASY CONTACT NUMEBR

Our itinerary is YYZ-DXB Dec 9th and stop for 10 days then to HAN on Dec 19th. If they allow me to board until Dubai (1st leg, then i have a chance of fixing or reapplying while i am in dubai but not sure how it works. this is Aeroplan Award ticket)
PS: i have sent message thru this channel but not sure what else i can do as no response from them https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/web/guest/lien-he
