How to File a Complaint About Freedom Mobile

Most Freedom Mobile complaints go to the CCTS, not the CRTC. Billing errors, unauthorized charges, contract disputes and service that does not work as sold are all CCTS matters. The CCTS is free, independent of Freedom Mobile, and can order billing corrections and compensation of up to $5,000. You can reach it at 1-888-221-1687.
Reaching Freedom Mobile First
1-877-946-3184 — Or dial 611 free from a Freedom phone. Every day, 8am to 1am Eastern. Freedom also takes messages through Apple Messages and WhatsApp.

Freedom Mobile at the CCTS: The Numbers
From August 2024 to July 2025, the CCTS accepted 940 complaints about Freedom Mobile Inc.: 4% of every complaint it took in, and number 6 among all providers. In the six months from August 2025 to January 2026 it accepted 582, up 7% on the same six months a year earlier.
Freedom is the only brand on this site where the most common issue is not a wrong charge but a disclosure problem: what the customer was told at the point of sale did not match what they got. Complaints grew 7% while the market grew 61%.
What Freedom Mobile customers complain about
The issues raised most often in Freedom Mobile Inc. complaints the CCTS concluded in 2024-25, using the CCTS's own labels:
- Disclosure Issues — 12.2% of issues raised
- Incorrect Charge — 10.7% of issues raised
- Credit/refund not received — 9.3% of issues raised
If yours is one of those, you are not an edge case, and the template further down is written for exactly that kind of dispute.

Before You File
The CCTS expects you to have tried to resolve it with Freedom Mobile first, so do this part properly — it is also what makes your complaint concrete.
- Contact Freedom Mobile through the support route above and note the date, who you spoke to, and any reference or ticket number.
- Write down what you are actually asking for: a refund of a specific amount, a charge removed, a contract cancelled without penalty.
- Keep your bills. The bill showing the disputed charge is the single most useful document you have.
Escalating Beyond Front-Line Support
Freedom Mobile runs its own complaint process rather than routing to Videotron. The online form on that page goes to their Escalation Resolution team, which commits to replying within 2 business days.

We track the rules that decide what lands on your bill
Activation and cancellation fees were banned in June 2026, and by April 2027 providers must let you cancel online. We follow the CRTC proceedings behind rules like those, and email our list when something is actually decided.
Filing with the CCTS
Freedom Mobile appears on the CCTS participating-provider list as Freedom Mobile Inc., so a complaint can be filed against it directly.
- Go to the CCTS complaint form
- Select Freedom Mobile Inc. as your provider
- Describe the issue and the steps you have already taken
- Include your account number, any reference numbers, and copies of the relevant bills
- The CCTS contacts Freedom Mobile on your behalf, and the provider gets 20 days to resolve it before the CCTS investigates further
There is a one-year deadline. The CCTS will not act on a complaint brought more than one year after you knew, or ought to have known, the facts behind it. There is a limited exception: up to 18 months, if you raised it with the provider within the first year and you were both still trying to resolve it after the year was up. If your dispute is older than that, file anyway and explain when you found out.
Free Complaint Template
Fill in the bracketed details and paste this into the CCTS form. Factual and specific beats long and angry:
"I am a Freedom Mobile customer (account [number]). Since [date], [describe the problem — e.g. I have been billed $X per month for a service I did not order / my promised credit of $X has not been applied / my service has not worked as contracted]. I contacted Freedom Mobile on [dates] and spoke with [names/reference numbers]. I was told [their response]. The issue remains unresolved. I am seeking [specific resolution: refund of $X, removal of the service and a credit for all charges since [date], cancellation without penalty]. I have copies of my bills and my contract available."
Two Rules Worth Knowing
- Since June 12, 2026, providers may not charge a fee for activating or changing a plan, or for cancelling a cellphone plan that has no subsidized device on it. What the ban covers.
- By April 26, 2027, providers must let you cancel or change an internet or cellphone plan through self-service tools, with changes taking effect immediately to the greatest extent possible. What changes in 2027.
