Wait for Black Friday if you are on a Big Three or flanker-brand 60GB plan and want to stay with that brand. Don’t wait if you are already on a $35 to $40 plan, or if you want lots of data cheaply: 100GB or more for under $50 is already available, and the budget brands have little room to go lower. Everything below is a prediction built on last year’s reported deals and our own price log. It is not a list of confirmed offers.
Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026, and Cyber Monday is November 30. As of November 9, 2026, two carriers we track have Black Friday sales running. Fizz started November 4 with a calendar of member gifts through December 8, including $200 off a Galaxy S26, $100 off a new iPhone and 60GB of free data. Videotron’s “Black Frivember” sale has discounted phones and internet in Quebec. Neither has cut a plan price: Fizz’s plans and Videotron’s phone plans are at their regular prices. Bell, Telus and Koodo have “coming soon” pages with no offers, and Public Mobile has an email sign-up. Rogers, Fido, Virgin Plus and Freedom Mobile show nothing for Black Friday yet. Confirmed deals will go on our Black Friday 2026 tracker as we verify them.
What these predictions are based on
Last year’s deals, as reported by MobileSyrup and laid out in our 2025 recap, and our own price log, which starts in May 2026. CompareZone did not track prices in 2025, and five months of our own data is too short to call a trend. Where we say “likely”, that is our judgment, not information from any carrier.
Going into the sale, these bring-your-own-phone prices were verified on November 8, 2026, unchanged from our October 25 snapshot: Public Mobile 50GB at $35, Freedom 70GB at $40 (Ontario and BC), Koodo and Fido 60GB at $50, Virgin Plus 60GB at $55, and Bell, Rogers and Telus 60GB at $70, up from $65 in September. The tracker keeps the full list of prices to beat, and our price history has every month.
What we expect to get cheaper
Flanker brands (Koodo, Fido, Virgin Plus). Likely to be discounted. Last November, Koodo reportedly sold 60GB for $40, and Koodo, Fido and Virgin Plus all sold 50GB and 70GB tiers at $40 and $45. Their regular 60GB plans are now $50 to $55. A return to roughly $40 is plausible. If it happens, treat it as matching 2025’s sale, not beating it.
Public Mobile and Freedom bigger tiers. Possible. Last year Freedom reportedly cut its bring-your-own-phone 100GB plan to $45, and Public Mobile’s 100GB plan went from $50 to $45 on Black Friday itself. Our log shows Public Mobile at $45 for 125GB and Freedom’s 70GB at $40 today in Ontario and BC (the same $40 buys 125GB in Alberta and Manitoba). The more likely sale is extra data or a few dollars off the larger tiers, not the entry plans.
Big Three plans. A discount is likely, but check the starting point. Bell, Rogers and Telus raised their 60GB plans by $5 this fall. A “$5 off” November offer would land on $65, the September price. A deal only counts as new if it goes under $65. Last year’s reported Big Three promotions were mostly tied to phone purchases on expensive plans: MobileSyrup noted a $0/month Pixel 10 Pro at Rogers and Bell needed a $115 plan. We expect that pattern to repeat. It is a prediction, not an observation about 2026.
Phone-plus-plan bundles. Likely, and usually the worst value. Compare the 24-month total, not the monthly figure. A “free” phone on a $100/month plan costs $2,400 over two years.
What we don’t expect to get cheaper
Plans that are already at the floor. Public Mobile 50GB at $35 matches the best price MobileSyrup cited for 2024’s sale ($35 for 50GB at Freedom and Public Mobile). Unless a brand goes below $35 for 50GB, a November price of $35 is not a deal. It is the regular price.
Entry-level and prepaid plans. Last year’s reported prepaid sale was $29 for 25GB at Chatr, Lucky Mobile and Koodo. In our log, Chatr and Lucky now charge $35 for 30GB, so last year’s sale price was lower than what they charge today. Both also list $40 for 50GB, but that includes a 10GB bonus that needs auto-pay and is for new customers only. A prepaid sale back near $29 is possible, but we would not hold off switching to save a few dollars.
Regular prices after the sale. Some November prices are monthly credits that expire, and the price then returns to normal. Where a carrier says how long a deal lasts, we will say so. Where it doesn’t, assume the lower price may not last.
Should you wait?
| Your situation | Our view |
|---|---|
| On a Big Three or flanker 60GB plan and want to stay with that brand | Wait if you can. The sale is under three weeks away and the downside is a few weeks at your current price. |
| Paying $70+ with no phone payments left, and willing to change brands | Switch now. Moving to a $35 to $40 plan saves about $30 to $35 a month. That outweighs most of what a sale would add on top. Budget brands are month-to-month, so you can move again. |
| Still paying off a phone | Check the balance first. Since June 12, 2026, CRTC rules ban activation fees and cancellation fees on plans with no subsidized phone. Our fee ban explainer has the details. |
| Already on Public Mobile 50GB at $35 or Freedom 70GB at $40 | Probably nothing to wait for. |
| Quebec | Fizz, Videotron and the regional pricing in our log differ from the rest of Canada, so compare against your province’s prices. See Quebec phone plans. |
How to check whether a deal is real
- Compare it to the price before the sale. Use our price history. A discount off a price raised in October is a smaller discount than it looks.
- Look at how long the price lasts. A credit for 12 months, then full price, is a different plan.
- Add up two years. Include the phone, any device fees and the plan.
- Use it as leverage. A verified competitor price is the best thing to take to your current carrier. Our guide to lowering your phone bill has a script.

FAQ
Are these confirmed Black Friday 2026 deals? No. They are predictions based on last year’s reported deals and our own price log. As of November 9, 2026, the confirmed offers are Fizz’s member gifts and Videotron’s phone and internet sale in Quebec, both listed on our tracker. No carrier we track has cut a plan price for Black Friday yet.
When will Black Friday 2026 deals start? Some already have. Black Friday is November 27, 2026, and Cyber Monday is November 30. Fizz started its sale November 4, and Videotron’s was running by November 9. The other carriers have not said when theirs will start. Last year’s reporting included deals compared on November 18, before the day itself.
Will Black Friday 2026 deals be better than last year’s? We don’t know. Regular prices at most major brands are higher than in May, which makes a repeat of 2025’s sale prices look bigger without being cheaper.
Should I wait for Black Friday to switch? If you want to stay with a Big Three or flanker brand, probably yes, because a sale is only weeks away. If you are paying $70 or more and are willing to move to a budget brand, switching now usually saves more than waiting.
Will Black Friday prices last? Not always. Some are credits that end. Check the length of the offer before signing.
How will I know what’s confirmed? Check the Black Friday 2026 tracker. Every deal listed there is verified and dated.
