... Paov,
June 3, 2015 was Cell Phone Freedom Day! Going forward, between 2 and 4 million Canadian mobile phone customers trapped in three year contracts can now cancel their agreement without penalty if their contracts have run 24 months or more under the CRTC’s Wireless Code of Conduct.
Over the past few years, we’ve worked with tens of thousands of Canadians to shape the cell phone protection rules. These great new protections include an effective end to three year contracts, caps on roaming charges at home and abroad, the right to unlock your device, and the option to return your phone within 15 days of purchase without penalty.
