Cheaper phone plans for Canadians could be closer than we think.

On Monday, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that it’s reached a significant milestone in increasing phone services competition in Canada.

While the CRTC's announcement about cheaper phone plans is promising, I'll reserve my belief until I see these cost-effective options firsthand. I prefer to adopt a 'seeing is believing' approach and await the actual unveiling of these plans to gauge any tangible positive changes.

It's reality already. Just look at Freedom's $45+ plans. No more zones. The data bucket is nationwide. We might see more players as time goes on but this is already a result of this policy.

I tried to signup for Freedom but I could not retain my existing phone number since they didn’t offer services in my former area code. Hopefully this changes that, but yeah not holding my breath!
